Spring is Here!

This was a lovely morning here in Arizona, so I took some photos of my garden and such so I could share spring with all of you!

A couple of weeks ago this is what my little garden looked like:

I went ahead and trimed back a lot of the suckers and made sure that the air could get to the middle of my rose bushes….they looked pretty sad after I got done. I forgot to take an after shot!

But here is how the garden looks now:

As you can see, I have to weed again! This space is not easy to work in, it is hard to get in the middle. We are going to revamp this next year into a long narrow space next to the wall.

This is a shot of one of my three bougenvillas….it has grown this year into a wonderful colorful wall, so that we have a little privacy from the small park on the other side.

A closer look:

This plant is a great grower in Arizona….and oddly enough the pink “flowers” are not flowers at all but just new growth! It comes in pink, purple and a beautiful coral, and now they have a yellow color I think.

This is one of my citrus trees, it is an orange tree. It has already given us a crop of oranges, but is loaded with new blossoms again! We will have oranges one more time!

As you can see, it is just full of blossoms! There will be many many oranges when this tree is ready!

The fragrance from these trees is just unreal! It is so heavy in the air right now and I never grow tired of it.

A few color bowls:

This is the time of year that all of us here live in Arizona for…..it will be hot and horrible in a couple of months, but right now it is a piece of heaven on earth!

Oh, and I made you some cookies, please take a seat enjoy the garden and let’s talk! As you can see they are for “All of my Peeps”….thats you!

And of course, no visit would be complete to my house without these:

Have a wonderful Saturday!!!!!

Thanks for stoppin’ by!

One of my Favorite Vintage Goodies

Hello everyone! Well, I have recuperated enough and decided I wanted to do a few posts on the Vintage Finds that I have been lucky enough to purchase for my kitchen. I am going to use photos from Google, as mine are put away at this time.

One of my very favorites is my Pyrex Refridgerator Set in the classic primary colors:

I just love these!!!!!

But in looking these up I found out that there have been multiple sets made thru the years. Sometimes they got it and other times they really missed!

I think that these sets are great:

My Mom had a set of the mixing bowls in this color combination, unfortunately I didn't take them when she died. I would like a set like this someday.

And of course the wonderful pastels:

These pink ones just seem to scream “1950’s” !!!!

Then there are the total “misses”

Who can for get the wonderful colors from the 1970’s????

As my Mom would have said “ Oh Ish” !!!!

My folks got real caught up in the avacado phase of the 70’s and I still have bad dreams about it! :)

Have a great weekend and Happy Easter!!!!!
