Bee Still.......

Some images I captured of buzzing bees on my lavender. My lavender actually looks good! It came back and is thriving! Some of the plants have parts that are dead though and I'm not sure what to do about it. Do I cut the bad part out? I'm so afraid the whole plant will actually die. I know I need to cut the stalks back after they have bloomed but if you know what to do about the bad dead let me know. My new puppy Stanley just loves going to these plants and watching all of the bees on it! Oh what fun! Have a fabulous weekend!

Meet Stanley

Wow...It's been awhile since my last blog! So sorry I haven't been around. I've been really busy with our new puppy and all the end of the school activities with the kids. Summer is here at our house!{not officially but with the kids out of school} it is to me. So....Stanley is 9 weeks old. We got him 2 weeks ago for a surprise for one of my daughter's birthday. It's the family dog but a surprise it was because she was out of town when we got him. He's super sweet! He is an English Springer Spaniel. My neighbors got one a few months ago and I fell in love with dog. Anyways, here he is! I'm a little sleep deprived but not too much. It's summer so I'll catch up...and The kids will help me. Ha! Not as much as I thought. At least not the night time potty time. It's just me and Stanley! What do you think of his name? We went through so many and came up with this one. We think he looks like a Stanley. Well,just checking in and letting you all know I've just been busy. I'm off to check and see everyone. Happy Memorial Weekend!

A treat for the kiddos

I couldn't resist! The rich,chocolate cakes filled with sweet creamy frosting. Ooh la la! Whoopie Pies that is! No... I did not make them. I bought them of course at Trader Joe's! I thought I would surprise the kids with these yummies when they come home from school. I can't wait to have a nibble of one! Enjoy!

A little treasure for your mouth

I spotted these for the 1st time the other day and I couldn't resist! If you haven't tried them yet you are in for a treat! These are not the kind of mints that you will offer to your friends and family because you will want to keep them for yourself! Lol! I keep checking mine to see if anyone has taken some. So go out and get yourselves some and keep a fresh breath all day! Ha!

Have great weekend!

Dancing among the ivy

You see that lovely shade of light green.. it's poison ivy! It's creeping and dancing all around my English ivy which has taken over our backyard. It is a pretty sight this sea of ivy but not too pretty for the skin! Lol! My daughter had a case of it when we first moved in this house and it was not fun. Oh what lovely things Spring brings! We have wood bees too that love to make holes on my porch. They are really hard to get rid of. They do inspire me though. I made a cuff that is perfect for the bee/insect lover..............

Also..ther are lots of caterpillars in my yard which will soon be turning into lovely butterflies which I was inspired to make this cuff for the Butterfly lover too.....

Just thought I would share some of my inspirations today! Remember to stay clear of the light green leaves with 5 leaves on each stem! A tip for the day!
