The Grass is always Greener...

In Somebody Else's yard. But with a wind chill of 37 degrees outside, even though the sun is shining, I can't imagine that anybody's yard is SUPER right now! 
Except these...

Is it crazy to want my backyard to look better than this?
















Hard to believe it's only February?!




Well, maybe the clover and wild daffodils aren't so bad!

I feel your pain!! But I think we may be colder than that here and my back yard has giant holes thanks to my 80 lb dog! I LOVE the first pic - if only my whole yard was shaded to keep the hostas happy! But I'm checking out the link anyway to see about that pathway... I need to create one for my Lily garden and this would be nice. Spring will be here soon!!

Thanks Megan! I wish my puppy were still alive to dig holes, but I started a Pinterest board to get ideas for her gravesite in the backyard. And I'll be blogging that when I get started.
I love all of the varieties of Hostas and will likely try to fit that into my scheme. I had a landscape design made about 10 years ago but never did anything with it. I need to pull that sucker out and get started!

Ah-ha! I'm not the only one with spring fever. Love the garden pictures. Your yard can look like that, just start planting.

Can someone please tell me what the key is to publishing a successful blog? Do I need to be a better photographer, a better decorator, figure out how to do 'giveaways', take a daily picture of my dog wearing a wig,  make a masterpiece out of popsicle sticks and paint, rant about the challenges of motherhood even though I'm not one????? What's the secret?  I have 10 followers and most blogs that I read have at least 500 (some have thousands)! I thought I did a pretty thorough job of chronicling my bathroom renovation and I'm incredibly pleased with how it turned out, yet I have ZERO comments on that post! I've even posted it on other sites and I think they've been deleted!!!! Is it the shiny brass, the white grout on the subway tile, the lack of wallpaper, the commonplace choice of color? WHAT?! Maybe I need to provide a service, like selling a product on an Etsy page?  Anybody need some flower pots made from recycled coffee cans? I'm starting to doubt...

Give me time to understand what you want of me.  3. Place your trust in me- it is crucial to my well being.  4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment.  5. You have your work, your entertainment,and your friends. I only have you.  6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understands your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me.  7. Be aware that how ever you treat me, I will never forget.  8. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you.  9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative,obstinate,or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out to long, or my heart i...

Zero Budget D.I.Y.

It Cost Absolutely Nothing to Dream! So I'm tired of making excuses about my old timey orange bathroom. I have house guests coming in two weeks and we'll be doing the bathroom shuffle . My house has two baths but the hall bathroom has been in a state of transition since 2007 when I sold the old sink and attempted to take the wall paper down. The toilet and claw foot tub work fine but the two layers of partially ripped down wall paper and resulting exposed plaster make me wince . I have a beautiful brass shower sprayer from Sign of the Crab that's been sitting quietly in it's box for 5 years (back when I had a six-figure job and six-figure dreams to match). I also have a cherrywood sink base that I purchased 7 years ago when Floor & Decor went out of business (I never bought the sink top because I thought I'd create something much more interesting with marble...never got around to it).  I really need lots of storage in there so a pedestal isn't practic...
