Strawberries And Ice-Cream

One scoop of ice-cream with strawberries on top.

Simple.

Perfection.

Treat yourself to something sweet this holiday weekend!

Black-Eyed-Susan

A little bit of sunshine to start your weekend.

Ohio Quilt Barn

I stumbled across this wonderful old weathered quilt barn 

on my way to my niece's wedding. 

I haven't been able to locate this barn on the Quilt Trail map

but it was near Hillsboro, Ohio. (Brown or Highland Co?)

 This starry block is sometimes called "Milky Way".  

If you are from the southwest corner of Ohio and have more info, 

please let me know.

Watermelon And Cantaloupe Baby

Isn't this just the cutest?

A friend made this delightful fruit presentation for my daughter's baby shower. 

A cantaloupe baby in a watermelon stroller.

All you need is:

  watermelon (stroller)

 cantaloupe (baby)

 orange (wheels)

blueberries (eyes)

other berries/fruit (red grapes and strawberries shown here)

a few toothpicks

a pacifier 

and a little bit of time to carve, chop, peel, and get creative.  

:-)

Wild Roses Growing Along The Fence

I went to visit my grandfather yesterday.

The flowers in my hand could not compete with what nature had already provided;

Wild roses growing along the fence,  just steps from where he rests.

Lilac Time

Damp earth and sweetly scented garden flowers 

infuse every breeze that frolics through my open window. 

Its lilac time of year!

Hanging On The Line

What are you wearing for Easter?

Something pretty in pink?  Maybe green or blue?

The darling outfits hanging on the line are only about 5-6 inches high

and are part of my vintage potholder collection.
