Cedar Shake Shingle Houses



Perhaps it is the cedar shake shingles that give a home a cottage feel.  Maybe it is the texture I love so much.  What ever it is, I love the look.  There is a product out there called Enviroshake that is a shingle with the look of wood, only made from 95% recycled materials.  
I posted about a similar product once before, click here to see.  Enjoy, Heidi

Black and White Veranda

If you have 3 of something, you can call it a collection.  Here is a collection of black and white verandas.  Veranda is Austalian for Porch. (Slowly but surly, I am catching on to this second language thing.)  Enjoy, Heidi

Get your Green On.

Today is all about the Green, since it is St. Patrick's Day.  If you are not wearing green today, guess what?  You get a pinch.  Enjoy, Heidi

Ebb and Flow of Life.

Yesterday, I kept pondering the quote, "Whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should".  It helped, I also unglued myself from the news and spent some time with my son, potting up some new plants we recently purchased.  I bought my first Meyer Lemon tree and have had it in my home for the past few days, the fragrance from the blossoms is magnificent.  I cooked chicken and broccoli, a recipe I found over at Annie's Eats and it was delish.  So what I am trying to say is, "Keep calm and carry on".  I made a donation, said many prayers, added a link on my blog for Japan.  Now, I just need to be the best me I can be and do what I do, because that is what makes the world go round.  I spent some time (5 to 10 minuets) at the home of Sting and his wife, Trudie while I was pondering the Universe.  A beautiful Tuscan farm near Florence, that over looks the Valdarno Superiore valley.  Breath taking.  Enjoy, Heidi

 Wisteria vining up the arbors, star jasmine growing on the walls and agapanthus blooming all around, these plants are easy and beautiful.
 Italian cypress tress, box woods and lavender were everywhere. (easy plants for Texas as well)


                                                     List of things to do: Learn to play chess.
                                Check out the old olive trees in the back.  Olive trees grow very well in Texas too
and..... several hundreds perhaps thousands have been planted on the farms around Burton. (where I live)
                                        This view reminds me of the Claire Valley in South Australia. 
Oh yeah, this is Italy.

The perfect pool, the perfect view.  I think all I need is a Sangria.

Thousands of ideas running through my head since I decided to live the life I imagined and have a garden party.  I have a boxes stashed away out of sight that I have been saving for this kind of event.  Why am I saving?  I need to do this and now.  Live in the Now, right? 
Here are a few ideas.  Enjoy, Heidi

Garden Party

Weather perfection today.  Stayed outside half of the day and it felt GREAT!  Trees are budding out and bees are a buzz.  I love to watch the sequence of plants take turns blooming at the end of winter and the beginning of spring.  First the paper whites then, daffodils, quince, saucer magnolias, camellias, pear trees and red bud trees.  I dream of having a garden party like these pics.  I have all of the plates, glasses, silverware and napkins.  I can even whip out a few of these mason jar arrangements.  I think that I am going to have to have myself a garden party.  Enjoy, Heidi

Happy Place

Trying to get to a happy place, this image helps.  Tired of cold weather and catching colds.  My neighbor informed me that after this cold spell this week, we will finally have Spring time weather. 
                                                                   Thank Goodness!!!
Enjoy, Heidi

Buring Desire

To feel the warmth, hear the crackle and smell the wood burning of a fire on a cold night.  To watch the glowing orange embers fly in to the black sky and then gaze in awe at the spectacular canopy of stars above.  Those are a few of my favorite things.  Enjoy, Heidi
