Tiny Bubbles...


Had the Littles here earlier this week
and as the Dumplin's
newest word is "bubbles"
I asked Lou to pick up a
bottle of bubbles while he was out.








He came home with so much more... 
A bubble machine and a 
bubble wand that makes huge, 
beautiful bubbles.  
Gramps is much more fun 
than Mom Mom.

Country Workshop's Weekend Steals and Deals



Because several of our
spring shows were canceled
due to weather, we are clearing off 
our very full shelves a bit. 
Thinning the inventory.
 
You may just find something
you might like, need
or must have.

Happy Summer...


A bit of the first morning of summer from my garden...



Hydrangea blues...


A small visitor...


A sweet daisy.

Bug Free Porch Sitting...



A few minutes on the porch with coffee and
the June issue of Southern Living which
I'm finally able to take a bit of time to page through.
Then I'll be heading to the Workshop
to package orders that need to be shipped.
My dear husband sprayed the yard
last night to get rid of the mosquitoes
so I am actually able to sit on the porch
or walk to the shop without being swarmed.

They have been particularly bad this year
and it seems I must be the sweetest
because I have a black swarm around me
when they aren't bothering anyone
else who may be near me.

Seems this may have worked as
I have not one bite.

School's Out...Let the Fun Begin!


 When Lou and I saw the pool at BJ's
I thought it would be the perfect replacement
for the little round blowup one
we've set up for the grandlittles
the last two years.

I asked Lou to fill it with air.
He has it in the Workshop and
uses the compressor to blow it up.
I get a phone call a little bit later and
when I answer it, all I hear is laughing.
"You need to come up here."
"Why?" I ask.
Lou says, "You remember the Dick Van Dyke show
where Laura opens the package
with the  inflatable raft?"
(some of you may be too young to remember
this but a funny, funny episode from that show)
When I walk into the shop,
the pool was fully inflated and way too
big to get out the shop door.
So we, pull the plugs and squeeze the air out.
An old folks lesson learned.
Blow up the pool in the yard...




 Although the Dumplin' was happier 

playing in the soup pot rather than
the new blow up pool...



The other two Littles are having a good time...


Best $25.00 I've ever spent!

Pulling Weeds.....



I'll be gardening this afternoon...
yes folks, I'll be pulling weeds.

Is it because of our crazy warmer winter
that I have weeds in the garden that
I have never seen before. Big ugly ones.

Several of our garden signs
are on sale this weekend including this one.

Check out our sale section on the website
