Southern Projects – A Look Back
It has been really cold here this week, as I understand it has been in most of the country. We had quite a bit of snow this past weekend. It is a good time to stay inside and take a look back at some of our favorite projects of 2009 for Rhoda’s Party! Many of…

Southern Trooper
This one red rose bush is still hanging in there and producing some blooms. This is my knock-out rose bush. It is really a trooper. So glad I planted this one. It has been dark and dreary here today, so that had to be taken with a flash. Hang on little roses, it is supposed…

Southern Empty Nest
As I reported on Monday’s post, the last of the robins has left the nest. The first baby robin left on Saturday morning. The remaining two robins thought about it all day on Saturday. Even thought the robin parents called to them, they didn’t get up the nerve on Saturday. On Sunday morning, my husband…

A Southern Second Chance
It’s 2nd Time Around Tuesday! My dog Bailey is my story today. Bailey was 2 years old when we found him in a shelter in Paragould, Arkansas. It was his 2nd time in a shelter in his short 2 years. He was filthy dirty and a bit afraid. When we found him, we called immediately.…

Southern Porch Accessory
I wanted to share with you a picture of a little garden bench that was given to me. It was unassembled and plain wood when I got it. I painted it and hung it on the wall of my porch. I think this little bench was originally intended to be used to set plants on…

Southern Spring Showers . . .
Yesterday, I wrote about how I enjoy being outside. After I wrote that post, I watched the news. Again, I was so grateful for the beauty of nature. The news was all about the swine flu. I looked out my window at the Spring rain (okay, sometimes storm), and everything was put back in perspective.…

Southern Outdoors
I am always love spending time outdoors. Always have. When you are inside, you sometimes, forget that there is a whole other world going on outside. There are birds flying around, singing their songs. The robins loved the freshly tilled ground for gathering worms. The squirrels are, as usual, trying to raid my bird feeder.…
