Day 58 - Project Spring

preparing the yard and garden for spring, planting bulbs for a beautiful Easter show, this is the first year I've been able to plan ahead since we moved to our 5acres. gathering all my clay pots, because it is fun to add the different dimension... I always think back to my great grandmother Downings beautiful property in Willow Creek, CA. I discovered about 10 years ago, that when I plan what I want my home and property to look like that my gg.Katherine has a powerful impact on the emotions I want to convey to the family and friends that come to visit me. I know that it took her years to create the beauty of her home, so I am planning. A sense of peace, beauty, abundance, thoughtfulness, love, welcome ~ HOME.

Day 56 - rock pathway

I am reading a book called 30 Days to a Sexier You, each page list a task to complete. p.50 says to PLANT SOME FLOWERS. So my girls and I went out to plant bulbs for spring flowers. I think all women want to be considered sexy. I guess I'm well on the path~
