I Won a Giveaway!

Sorry I've been MIA the last couple of weeks - it's been crazy busy around here. Every spare minute I have (which is not many) is going to the garden. It's so relaxing and enjoyable tho! I don't know how I got to be so sweet and tasty to all the stinging critters this year - chiggers, mosquitos, little biting flies, no see-ums - you name it - it finds me! I don't think I used to be this way. I guess they're just worse. Even my husband is getting more than his usual share.

Here's one of my two wagons at the farm. Just a little bright spot. I have a red wagon, too. They both already had little rotted edges in the wagon just enough for water to drain out and not the dirt. I love 'em with flowers planted in them.

Do you see this beautiful candlestand on the dresser and the vanity? The one with the crystal on top and the pearls, the flowers, and ribbon? Aren't you envious??? Well, I am the new owner of this lovely piece of candle artistry! Sher over at Old Time Me Artist recently had a giveaway and she pulled my name from the hat! She had made a blue one, I think, and then when I won, she asked me what colors I would like - of course, it had to be pink! She's so sweet, AND so creative! I would never have thought to make something like this! It's so unique - now I gotta get over to Hobby Lobby and buy a little pillar candle to put in it - pink, I think!We had a wonderful time over the Memorial Day weekend. Adam showed up and surprised us all. It's usually several months that we go inbetween visits from him from Nashville. I wonder if a particular young lady from our town has anything to do with it??? I'll show you a picture later when I get them loaded!

Another little bright spot by the garden shed...

Meanwhile, update on the garden - I'm gonna have to pick green beans this afternoon. They are about ready. Squash will be ready by this weekend I'm sure. We'll probably have squash coming out our ears! You can only eat so much squash at one time ya know.

Here's our beans - I put up an old rotting picket fence for the beans to climb on. I think I bought pole beans. If they're bush, then so what. I still like the fence up there. It looks real 'gardeny'. (is that a word??)
Taters are doing well, corn's up about 2 feet or so, peppers are growing and I've got tomatoes, too, about to ripen. Things are going well. I sure am enjoying all ya'll's blogs and seeing what ya'll are doing this almost summer!!!
