A Rose for All Tablescapers…you deserve it

Starting with a shot of one of my roses…and I’m not a “real” rose gardener…this one grows on the privacy fence and totally takes care of itself…I actually pulled a few weeds from around it yesterday…it will probably kick up its heels and die now…

Now, on to the tablescaping part…I’d like to start by complimenting all of you bloggers who do these tablescapes, you are one dedicated bunch…this stuff is hard…and all of you make it look so easy…so my hat is off to each one of you for giving us such beautiful pictures to drool over…and I truly appreciate all of your efforts…

Come on to my porch…I cut some fresh roses for you…I really did…they smell nice…

I just couldn’t resist this miniature chair…

My old birdhouse looks pretty good with a new “whitewash”…

“Fire King Ware” made in USA…I don’t know if its old or new…just caught my eye and it was cheap…

Just “Keeping it Real” here…GW dishes, right out of the car trunk…boy do they have some sticky tape…OK, I’m a lazy gardener…I even found some lost clippers…hubby has mowed over them twice…lol…

Here’s the “photo assistant”…with her new summer haircut…

…sticky tape…uggghhh

My little Fostoria basket with those roses I picked for all of you…

Thanks for coming…now I need to

1. Sweep the porch
2. Load new GW dishes into dishwasher
3. Put the garden tools away
4. Cook something for our “real dinner”…
5. Put my feet up and watch “Dr. Phil”..its 88 degrees here…

Thanks for visiting…

A Common Theme…

If you don’t like Tea Parties…keep on surfing…this post is not for you…

These are some of the signs from last Friday’s Tea Party in Jackson, Tn…proceed with caution…cause some Southerners are really upset with our current state of affairs…

As I took pictures Friday evening, I asked every one of the individuals that I shot if I could blog their picture and I was not met with any negatives…obviously I couldn’t ask everyone in the group shots but the individuals in the shots that I took gave me a verbal ok…says a lot folks…

I didn’t have the forethought to make or carry any kind of sign or banner  but I happened to have my little pocket camera with me and got to take some pictures…pictures of some pretty creative individuals…Thanks to all of the people who made this a country where we could experience this type of collective and personal expression…

To my bloggy buddies…this is the last of my teaparty pictures so after this I’ll go back to posting puppies, sky shots, flowers, grandbabies, tablescapes and love stories, etc.

Thanks for staying with me as I have posted some things that I thought were important…something bigger than “me and mine”…thank you
