THE SUMMER OF THE UNKNOWN

A hello to everyone. The summer as simply flown by so quickly. Well we had no chance to take a trip , the plan was to start on some projects around the place. Our first BIG project was to get a a small pool built . Well needless to say we hit a big snag! Also the fact I still needed to get the second vaccine, so was no way I was heading out anywhere till that was done.

The GREAT Pool project

Yes it was all planned to be done this summer in time for a splash party. Needless to say it came to a grinding halt when the digger hit a old , old tree stump that was buried under the grass . So part of the grass was dug out and part left, It was quite a mess. So plan B is to make it smaller, go with the original idea. or setup in different spot. Options are limited , so will have to see what happens. Such is life.

GARDENING

The spring was so hot this year many plants seemed to wither in the heat

I started some sweet peas to late seemed to grow but no flowers and now they have stopped and leaves are

are going pale and sickly. Sadly no sweet peas this summer.

How was your summer?

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

Doing Denim I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable. For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short. I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days. Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it. Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets. There are so many ways to style a denim dress. A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck.

SPRING LOOK //Fashion , Style, Spring

Time for some color Finally the weather is warmer and can wear lighter clothes. I especially like to start the summer/spring with some color . One of my favorites is a colorful knit on I bought years ago , a Liz Clairborn design. It’s a piece that just say spring is here. After a long , cold winter of wearing mostly dark or muted shades it’s nice to bring out something bright a cheery.
