This and That

I got my herbs all moved outside for the warm seasons!

11 herbs in all.  Some from seed and some are plantings from

the garden center.  My rosemary is big and in it's own pot

and has thrived over the winter in my garden window

so it might stay there for the time being.

This old planter is holding thyme, basil, dill, parsley, 

cilantro, sage, chocolate mint, sweet mint, oregano and chives.

Some of these are new to my little garden, so it will be fun to

experiment with a nice big variety!

The Easter decor has been replaced with what's not exactly

 spring-ish but definitely eclectic.  The jelly beans are in an

 antique humidor I found at an estate sale recently.  

Similar ones are selling on ebay for $150 and I paid $5!

 It just belongs on this table with it's black lid with tiny red 

 and gold flowers.  The little hornet's nest under the dome was 

found in our yard with the boys were young.  I think they

took it to school for show-n-tell one time.

I got a wonderful surprise box in the mail from Dianna on Saturday!

How very sweet and totally unexpected!  I was touched with her 

attention to detail and how she picked up on things that I like

and gathered them up to make a very nice gift.

We're new to each other here in blog land but she's

a keeper for sure! If you've been a reader here very long 

you know how much I believe in little acts of kindness!

Thanks, friend!  I've been nibbling on yummy things

ever since I opened it! haha. 

Look who has been back a few times!

What kitty can resist rotisserie chicken, right?

He will come into the kitchen and eat cat food and get

a drink of water, too!  But....he did a little exploring around

the house and I caught him 'marking' our laundry hamper.

I raised my voice and clapped my hands and that cat tore through

the house and out the door and clear out of the yard in 5 seconds flat!

haha...He hasn't been back but when he does come back eventually,

I'm going to have to add to that the original list of rules about

behaving oneself and that means being a gentlemen at all times!

But look at that face!  He has a regal look about him!  He's sooo dirty

and his fur feels awful...lots of burs and scratches.

We're still enjoying some beautiful spring weather.....

warm sun, balmy breezes, sleeping with the windows open....

and some thunderstorms scattered here and there.

If only spring would last until fall....
