I recently offered to help a friend out with

a crochet project.  She was given these hexagons

and she doesn't crochet so the box was just sitting

in a closet.

 

I received the box today and excitedly started

unpacking all the hexagons, anxious to see what

all was there.  I was pleasantly surprised to see

that there were plenty to make a nice sized afghan!



As you can see, there are a lot of hexagons!

It makes me very happy to help her with this.

I'll show you soon how it's coming along!

One day last week I received a package in

the mail from a dear friend.  Holly, of Cutie Pie

Cottage, has been a friend since we got acquainted

through our blogs.  She made me the adorable button

ball garland in my favorite color combination of

pink and red.  I started out with it on my shelves,

but I also have other ideas of where it will look

pretty.  Holly makes these pretty garlands in all

colors.  She's very talented!  Thank you, Holly for

your thoughtfulness and friendship!

In my hometown, the founder's homestead has

been recreated.  It's called the Gray/Campbell

Farmstead.  They have moved the buildings to

a nearby park.  This is the barn.

 

This is a log cabin on the site.  It's a lovely place

to visit.  I had the pleasure of visiting Sunday afternoon.

My heart is breaking for you.

For other charming barns, visit Tricia!

As I get ready for bed this evening, the thunder

is rumbling outside and we are under a tornado

watch.  My thoughts and prayers go out to all

those struck by the devastating tornadoes.

 

Today was a beautiful day and although I am

far from a great photographer, the flowers were

so pretty that the pictures can't help but be good!

This is a most unusual variety of peony.  I

loved it!

Hello friends!

 

One of my favorite things about May

is the iris blooming.  Iris is my favorite

flower.  They grew in my yard when I

was a child and I think that may be why

I love them so.  I saw these beauties

when I went for my walk today.

Hello!

I just got back from our yearly visit to

the Crater of Diamonds State Park in

Arkansas!

 

As you can see, I took some time from

hunting diamonds to play with my new

friend, Tina.  She was a precious little gray

poodle.  I can't resist a cute dog!  I

offered to babysit and her parents were nice

enough to let me:)

 

It was hot the last few days and you can

tell by the picture I was pretty tired.  I

welcomed the sweet diversion.

 

Once again, we returned home with no

diamond, but we will try again!

Have a nice day!
