207 - art


Hot!
Yesterday was so hot.
I could hardly function getting out of the Barn last evening....HOT.  It stayed cool within the Barn all day but by 3 pm it was starting to cook.... by 5 pm .... look out, I needed to leave.

You know what happens next.... you have to walk out into the hot parking lot, and get into a very HOT car.... my drive home isn't really long enough for the air to cool entirely.... so the first thing I did when I walked into the house was take the jewels OFF.

I could not get them off fast enough.
I didn't even go upstairs to put them away.... just layed them on the counter in the kitchen.

Funny thing though.... later when I walked by, I noticed I liked the way I layed them out.... a little display of ART.  I instantly grabbed my camera so I could share with you.



Maybe it's the eye of the beholder but I got off on these pictures.... Love.







I hope you enjoyed.

Miller House - 4

He was at one time new, now with age and weather he is perfect.

I love my bistro style fence

It is finally starting to weather after 5 years...
...soon it will have a fine patina...




I'm sure the birds hate sharing with the pineapple....

Miller House - 3


Morning.

It is a great weekend here in Minnesota.
Sun
Breeze
...well, maybe a tad bit of humidity
I guess if you stop in the sun, it is a bit warm...

but no complaining from me...I love the sun.


more of the out front gardens...




did you ever wonder what to do with that funky old pop bottle box...






my girls from the U. P. (Michigan)
came for a visit yesterday
we ... they - shopped the Barn and then we came back to my place

....beer and pizza in back by the pool.
they explored all the gardens and the house...
Too Fun.

Enough of that... off to work I go

Hot and sticky....
Summer is here and I love it!








Only a week and a half left for June.

Grad parties
Weddings
Parties

I had to throw that in.

I'm off to play

Layer it on. Change it up.

Time for a refresh. Have you ever looked at an area in your house and thought I am done looking at that mess.   Or maybe it's just time...
