Hope of Spring!

With a few days of warm sunshine
the ground breaks forth in
song...wild flower song.

There are even little show offs in nature...

Look at me I can do purple!
Just went out to burn a few things
on the burn pile because it's a
nice sunny day with no wind.

I saw the flowers and said,
wait there while I go get my camera.

Perfect for
OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY
at A Southern Daydreamer

and

WHITE WEDNESDAY
at Faded Charm

Better late than never...right?

Oh Pooh!

I wanted to play along with Tabletops Tuesday but couldn't find any photos from my stash that grabbed me. Last resort...get the camera and find something around the house. This is a metal shelf in my dining room. Not just a dining room, but one of those family room things...kitchen, dining, and sitting area with a fireplace.
This oyster plate was a gift from my sister, Pam when our whole family went on a Mississippi River Boat cruise. Other pretties are passed down pieces from both sides of our families.

This is why I don't take pictures in my house.
Dust...or maybe that's just angel dust.
I've heard about that stuff so maybe that's what it is.

While snapping pictures at the shelf,
here's my sweet Granny.


And finally...

This is some of what's on an
antique secretary in the
living room.
I adore the loving look to his master.

In the famous words of French Lique Dixie...
That's the SWEET LIFE
here at RockCandy.


OH POOH! is right. I go to all this writing, go to hook up and find out that life has taken over at Grits & Glamour. Life is like that sometimes...getting in the way of blogland adventures. But I'm going to post anyway, so hope you enjoy!

Not a real fan of roller coasters,
I prefer a smooth ride
with a little hill for just a
little thrill now and then.

Today, the ride as a member of the
sandwich generation...
taking our son to set up his first
checking account. One of those

steps that takes him a little
more into the world and out
of our little nest.

Also today my 92 yr old MIL
is sleeping on the sofa,
not feeling her perky self.

She is feeling blue.

Stop by SmilingSally for
BLUE MONDAY

Here is a glimpse into my
blue dreamworld.

compliments of
ShabbytownUSA
They do have some lovely thing.


oh yeah...
I'm choosing to~

Throw my hands up into the air
and enjoy it.
Although you might hear a
scream or two!
