Petite pick me ups

Thank you, for all the lovely comments about our home. It's so nice to be able to share all the hard work we've put into, and will continue to put into the old homestead. I'll try and write more stories about Tia, possibly this winter.
For now August is really starting to get to me, we're hovering between 100-115 heat index for weeks now. All I've done this past week is splash water on my face and read books. The cows stay under the trees and the dogs dig deep holes under the shrubs. We cope, we wait, we are all wishing for fall weather.

When almost everything else in the garden is dormant, a Texas native will laugh at the sissy plants. Clematis pitcheri...laughing.

I've also finish a small collection. An attempt to draw the boys into the kitchen while I cook. They can't resist a game.

I don't have to worry about monopoly pieces being strewn about.
A game I can display and cook with ;0)


Game on!

Girl, you just sold a clematis.

Same temps here, hi humidity, 6 weeks NO rain.

Now I completely understand the phrase, "Sinking spell."

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

I love it!!! A couple of years ago a customer brought in a square mirror for me to "sticker up" into a game board - then she had lil' demitasse cups as the pieces!!!

I LOVE your salt & pepper shakers!!! Stay cool... and while doing that - please let me know how you're doing that...

Check mate! Just remember if any salt is spilled, to throw some over your shoulder!
