Where the Quaint Things Are. "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." ~ John Lubbock Where the Quaint Things Are While I am on my week-long sabbatical I thought you might like to visit the blog my first born has created. It is entitled "Where The Quaint Things Are". Her blog is vastly different than mine. Yet, there exists a ... View the Post
Friendly Friday Arlynn’s Home
I am currently working on a commercial remodel and design of a condo clubhouse. It is a large job and I am partnering with my dear friend Arlynn who is a decorator herself.

Peaches
School is out and it's peach pickin' season at Schnepf Farms. I took the Fashionista and Sweet Boy on a little field trip to pick Peaches. Peaches The trees were laden with sweet, juicy peaches. It was gloriously hot day enjoyed by only the sunflowers. Gawk if you must at my huge hat and sunglasses. But the Arizona sun is brutal and I want to be melanoma free.
