Koo de Kir

I subscribe to Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I sadly lost most of my back issues due to a flood. I think it is the July 2008 issue that I miss the most. The "Better Home" was a small house, like mine, same color scheme, similar furniture, but better. I want to accentuate my Living room with similar draperies and vases. I found the featured Koo de Kir website to order a vase and discovered Designer Eva Zeisel.
Here is a little taste of Zeisel


I absolutely love it! Curvy, simple white, so pleasing to my eye. Zeisel also has some awesome curvy designs available at Crate and Barrel

Back to my poor BHG issues...I registered with coverleaf.com to view BHG back issues online and they didn't post all of them! I'll get my remodel done,(someday) my memory of that page will serve me well.

Gardening

It is that time of year. The time when I get back to nature by cutting my nails shorts, put on my work clothes, dig my fingers into the fragrant, warm soil and plant my garden.
The garden is home to me. Coaxing those little buds to grow, daily hoeing the weeds, shooing the dog away from my onions, teaching my girls the names of plants. I plant the peas along the fence line so the neighbors can walk by and sample God's goodness.
My favorite vegetables and fruits to plant would have to be: zucchini, cucumber, pumpkin, potatoes, peas, radishes, lettuce, and cabbage.
Don't even get me started on how many types of flowers. I could make a list of them but I'm not sure that would be entertaining to you.
I'm sure the place Jesus is preparing for me in heaven has such a wonderful garden, colors and plants the likes of which I have never seen, and a hammock.
The winter is over and it is time to shine.

A photo of a little mystery sprout I found in a flower bed. We'll see what it is soon. (It was a Lupine)
