Thyme for birdhouses, spring flowers and breakfast with a friend

 We have had some beautiful Spring days

with temperatures as high as the 90's

so

I am loving how everything is starting to bloom

in my yard

the yard is still very wet because of the very heavy rains

of the past few weeks

 I haven't been able to do

 to much cleaning up of my garden beds

I got my water pump running today

I love the sound of it from my deck

my husband made this house

for our deck

I use it to store all

my small garden tools, gloves etc.

I designed and painted it

it has a real shingled roof!

I cut some flowers while outside today

I love bringing

SPRING

inside after the long winter!

I finished painting another large sunflower

for a friend of mine

Michelle and I were friends long before

we became bloggers!

We are meeting for breakfast tomorrow

so she can get her sunflower

I also finished painting this birdhouse

Isn't he a great cat!!!

his sign says

SCAT!

This is a  

Debbie Forgac Design

from the book

Simple Gatherings

I also want to show you a bench

my husband made for my Mom's birthday last year

I designed and painted it

here is a close-up

of the birdhouses on the bench

I painted flowers and bees around

the bottom

My Mom even had birds come to nest in it!

Happy Painting!
