Tumbleweed
He flew out of a city truck going down the road. At first glance, it looked like a trash bag. But it was a tiny kitten that tumbled down the road through the early morning traffic. He had climbed into the engine of the truck to keep warm. His name was Tumbleweed. Tumbleweed needed to […]
Join Me in the Living Room (along with the cats!)
The Living Room. The first room we really remodeled in this house. After almost a year of strangely painted walls with an ugly stripe, a Popcorn ceiling with a water stain, no TV and a ripped up brown leather couch. We rarely spent any time in here. The idea for the living room came together […]
Film Around the Home
One early spring evening, some time ago, I loaded up my little vintage Argus film camera and snapped some photos around the house and yard, and dinner cooked away on the stove. It had just rained and the weather was starting to warm up. Later that day we went on a walk. Spring was finally […]
A New House Exterior
After living in this little house for six years, the exterior has finally been redone! The house was lined with aluminum siding when we bought it, and everything was painted white except the sad looking shutters which were way too small for the windows. The paint on the siding was flaking off and the shutters were […]
A Garden Theme
A bit of a theme has appeared in the garden this year.. My wildflower garden was suddenly a sea of yellow and purple. A bit of an unusual color combination, but I didn’t mind it! The Allium bulbs that were planted last fall had sprouted up as fluffy purple spheres. And the lone foxglove from […]
Cat Bedroom/Laundry Room/Office Remodel
There was an addition put on to our house many years ago that originally acted as a hair salon run by one of the previous ladies who lived here. For us, it became a bedroom for the cats while we dreamed up ideas of what it would one day become. They cats need their own […]
Around My Desk
I recently posted about the cat bedroom office laundry room Remodel, which happened in January. Here are some pictures I took the other day of my favorite corners of the room. My miniature shelf. I love collecting tiny things, and am happy to finally have a place to display them in an organized way. I found […]
Modern House Tour
A cluster of modern houses have appeared on a street corner not too far from my house. I’ve liked these homes ever since I first saw them and often wonder what they look like on the inside. Well, luckily the other week there was a tour of all the modern homes in this area built […]
Flower Explosion
I am always amazed at how quickly winter turns into spring. How one day you see some green poking up through the dirt, and then barely a week later. Flowers everywhere. This Hummingbird Moth loved the flowers! And just as quickly as they bloomed, the flowers faded away. Not to be seen again for another […]
Cat Bedroom Remodel
There was an addition put on to our house many years ago. It was originally a hair salon that a lady ran out of the back of her house. But the last few years it has been the bedroom for the cats. They need their own bedroom at night because otherwise they race around the house […]
