My kitchen bench, herbs, lavender & giveaways all over blog land�

Hi there!!! & nbsp; I love these sun shiny days! The weather has been pleasant and reminds me that spring is here. I am so grateful lately for so many things. & nbsp; My baby will be here soon, my friends and family are healthy and happy. A girl couldn't ask for anything more.

I wanted to share some images of & nbsp; my new kitchen bench that I found at the flea market a few months ago. & nbsp; My son loves it! It is fun for him to sit here. He never used to sit on the chairs. This is were we do our arts and crafts. & nbsp;

Wildlife Wednesday








We counted four goslings. Mrs Goose & amp; Mr Gander have taken them away to the field next door where the grass is taller so we won't have the chance to watch them grow up.

Sorry we are late posting. Mommy had to take eldest boy bean back to college, then bring him back home for his eye appointment so she was gone all day. We will try to do better tomorrow. ~AFSS

& nbsp;I is getting tired from all this gardening, I thinks I needs a break.

& nbsp;I is going to find a place to hide.

& nbsp;Mommy will never find me here.

& nbsp;The birds and butterflies don't know I am here either. This will be a good place to ambush them from.

Mommy where did you go you has more weeding to do. You has to get our garden in shape for our guest.

Catching up�

Hi friends! I apologize for being MIA. I & nbsp; feel so bad for what is happening in Japan! I feel so guilty for having such a wonderful life knowing what is going on. & nbsp; I watch the devastation and thank God that my family and friends are safe. & nbsp; & nbsp; I pray for those in Japan and can only hope things will get better!

I have been busier than ever. Last week I had a ton of photography projects due, school, work, and now my dad is coming to visit from Italy. It has been 6 years since I have seen him and he has yet to meet my son. & nbsp; I am so excited, and nervous.

I will try and catch up with everyone this week, I will be showing my master bedroom reveal. Finally!!! I have been really concentrating on my photography, special techniques and using photo shop. This semester of school is pretty tuff. & nbsp; Please bare with me & nbsp; and sorry for my lack of posts, as my tummy is & nbsp; getting bigger and it is getting harder for me to move around, let alone sit at the computer�baby keeps kicking me not to sit forward�. LOL, not to mention chasing a 3 year old makes me tired. & nbsp; Be back soon�

Have a great day!

Thursday in the Garden

& nbsp;We thought we would start the garden tour down at the Butterfly Garden. He is the Grancy Graybeard, with it's pretty white blooms.


& nbsp;The Vitex, we are looking forward to seeing it bloom.

& nbsp;Pink Verbena. The bees like it.

& nbsp;The Chinese Witch Hazel.


Mommy just loves this shrub. We found it's name in our Wildflowers of Mississippi book. & nbsp; It is called a Fetterbush & nbsp; it's scientific name is Lyonia lucida (Lam.) K. Koch.


& nbsp;Ok, lets head up to the Hummingbird Cottage.

& nbsp;The Coral (aka Trumpet) Honeysuckle.

It starts off a kinda of salmon pink color and then turns scarlet . When it opens up the inside is a yellowish orange. Very pretty, and supposedly attractive to hummingbirds.

OK, lets go up to the house now and look in the front yard.

& nbsp;The Foxgloves, we has pink, white and a purplish pink.


& nbsp;The Johnny Jump Ups are putting on a show for us. We are thrilled with them.

The Mint is doing pawsome this year.

Now we are headed over to Jonesie's to see what the other Feline Gardeners have been up too.
