Photos of the Week: June 5th

 Even though I didn't have a full week to concentrate on the I Spy photography challenge this week, I still think I did a pretty good job completing all the prompts. 

– floral print-- I don't have many things in the house with a floral print but then I remembered one of my favorite bags had this pretty floral print.



– orange-- I saw these orange flowers on my daily walk and thought they'd be perfect for this prompt. 




– starts with F-- I was torn between Falls and Flume for this one; I finally settled on Kedron Flume.




– fork-- I decided to try having some fun with forks and looked for a few ideas of things to try online.  




– your choice-- Walking around the garden the other day,  I snapped this photo of one rose bud.

    That is a pretty bag and those flowers are too. That is a clever idea with the forks. So cool. x

    Beautiful pictures Joanne. Love the rose bud! I planted a bare root climbing rose this spring and while it seems to be doing well, there are no buds. Maybe next year! The fork photo is so creative! Love it!

      Thanks! I was surprised the rose bush is doing so well. I have never had so many blooms and I didn't do anything with it at all.

    Oooohhhh --- I love your fork picture! And I think those orange flowers are columbine which are some of my favourite flowers -- they're so different and unique. Your floral bag is really pretty!

    A wonderful selection. Love the bag, and your fork arrangement is very creative. Looks like your orange flower is one of the deciduous azaleas like ilam. Love your woodsy pic of the flume too, I can just about smell the air! CarolG

    Clever photos of your week! The forks are unique. Haven't heard 'flume' in a long time.

    I'm happy you chose to share your link at 'My Corner of the World' this week!

Let's Look At.. Our Medicine Cabinet

Image
I join in with the ladies for Let's Look At (the 2nd Wednesday of every month) so sporadically, but this year I am trying to be more intentional about joining in.  This month we're looking at our medicine cabinet.   While we don't have a traditional medicine cabinet I do have one large-ish closet in our master bathroom that I tend to keep pretty much everything in.  I re-organized it back in 2020 when I was on a kick organizing the whole house.   I use these clear bins and then made my own labels.  The top shelf: The bin on the left holds my curling irons and heated styling tools that I rarely use.   The bin on the right holds all our travel items and things The second shelf down: The bin on the left holds all our medicines and the bin on the right (which I didn't bother to photograph) just holds q-tips and cotton balls. We typically keep cough drops, NyQuil capsules, Vicks shower tabs, Motrin, Sudafed, Vicks vapo-rub and a few at home Covid tests on hand.  The next she

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

September's 10 on the 10th!

Image
 Monday's September 10th and it will be time to link up with Marsha for her 10 on the 10th but since we have the Not Just a Mom link up that day I figured I'd post my answers and questions a bit earlier.  Marsha always makes me think long and hard about these!!  1. My favorite 9 letter word is diagnosis -- I can't get into much detail (since it's not me) but we have a family member undergoing lots of testing for some medical issues and I just know that we are all just praying for a diagnosis. Somehow just the knowing what you are dealing with is much less scary than lots of professionals making their best guess and offering to try different treatments that might or might not work.  2. I had to Google songs with September in the title and out of all the hits I got I only recognized one or two of them so I guess I'd have to say my favorite is September by Earth, Wind, & Fire since it's the only one I really know. 3. In our area the most famous celebration
