Everything is Green

Summer is really here...
As I walk around the yard...everything is SO green!















I just love summer!

The weekend is upon us and first up....
The Where Bloggers Create Party is here!
This is an amazing event which lets us all peek into the studios and creative work spaces of all of our blogging friends.

I told Karen that I would keep the button for the party up on the sidebar to let everyone know about this fun day but that I was in no shape to participate....
...in fact, I think I should organize a Where Hoarders Stash party....

Anyway....be sure to check it out!

I also just stumbled upon another McLinky party that my green post happens to fit into...so for more green posts click HERE to go to Frippery!

Our new assignment for my art course is up and it's all about paper and collage!
Hooray! I am making a big mess with my paper, scissors and glue!
I have to....it's my homework! :)

My Mom and Dad arrive from Florida tomorrow and we will all be together for Father's Day....
I am making some cold salads and haven't quite decided on whether to make the orzo salad or Mr. Flea's favorite pasta salad...
Have any good summer salad recipes to share?

A Few Good Herbs

I bought a few pots of herbs from a vendor at the flea market a few weeks ago.



This variety of basil does not flower but is very delicate...
...the vendor told me to watch over it carefully.



...its days are numbered.



Now, on the other hand...
...he told me that this variety of lavender will get really tall and that it is very hardy.



I like tall.
I like hardy.



I also bought rosemary whose scent I adore.

This sieve came from the flea market too....
It could be used for drying herbs or...
...if the herbs don't make it...
...I could hang my earrings on it!

Tomorrow is Thursday already!
It is supposed to be a beautiful weekend and you know what that means!
I'm looking forward to one of my favorite annual sales at a nearby school as well as a visit to the flea market...

...and then my beautiful daughter will be celebrating her 24th birthday...
...now that is hard to believe!

Have a great night!
:)
