Fertilizer Friday at Tootsie Time

It's been a great year for my garden! Maybe it's because I've been fertilizing like Tootsie said I should! Stop at Tootsie's and see the others participating this week. Last year I really trimmed this clematis back and look how beautiful it is this year. Clematis are one of my favorite vines.

These impatients are planted in an old two sides mop bucket.

After all the daisys and daylilies bloom that pretty much it for the perennials.

Hopefully the annuals really start to make a show.

This is my first tipsy pots when you run out of garden space go up.
Saw these tipsy pots at Cindees Garden and decided to give it a try.
Visit Cindees she has some fatastic tipsy pots!

Thanks for visiting this week. Enjoy the summer.

Warm wishes,

2009 Steven Foster Music and Heritage Festival (Doo Dah Days)

I know some of you live in the Pittsburgh area and might enjoy attending the Steven Foster Music and Heritage Festival which will be this Saturday July 11, 12 to 5. The Lawrenceville Historical Society, together with the Allegheny Cemetery Historical Association, have organized this festival(Doo Dah Days!). The event takes place in Allegheny Cemetery, the sixth oldest rural cemetery in the United States. It does seem a little strange to have a festival in a cemetery but this is the 3rd annual event.

There will be four folk bands, specializing in Stephen Foster era music, educational tours of Allegheny Cemetery (including Foster's burial place), costumed re-enactors and other outdoor activities. Visit this web site and learn more about he event and Steven Foster .

My husband and I plan on attending and will take lots of photo to share with you.

Pink Saturday - Some PINK Finds!

Thought this week I'd show you some of the things I've found at garage and estate sales and of course these are PINK!

Very pretty tablecloth in reds, pinks and blue.

These are miniature teacups and saucers.

Lovely pink floral chintz plate made in England.
I love this platter "American Sweetheart Pattern"

Teapot cozy

I'm hoping to get most of these pretties on my website this week.

Beverly at How Sweet the Sound has the list of all participants in PINK Saturday.

Fertilizer Friday

Thanks Tootsie for hosting Fertilizer Friday's it's one of my favorite days. These lilies are blooming right now in my garden they are just beautiful! One of these are taller then me and I'm 5'4".

Yesterday I stopped at Home Depot and they still have so many flowers it looks like the beginning of spring. I've noticed that lots of places still have many flowers this late in the season. Is that happening where you live?

Thanks for visiting today!

Warm wishes,

PINK Saturday

Here it is Friday night and I'm thinking about this pink Saturday post and have no photos ready...and too tired to take any plus my camera needs charged. Why do I wait to the last minutes to get things done? This week has been very busy with lunch with friends and family, doctor's appointments for husband and lots of other running around. So anyhow here is some PINK stuff I found on the net.


These guys are sure PINK!

This PINK guitar is nice!

But when I'm really tired all I want is something sweet!!

These cakes look wonderful!

Please visit Beverly's at How Sweet the Sound and visit other PINK Saturday participants.

I'll have some reallty nice PINK stuff here to show you next week!

Warm wishes,
