Spring is finally coming!

Well, the big time change finally happened!  I am so happy for the change. With this change, I'm ready to get my blog going full force and hopefully get followers and grow.  Spring has so much to bring and leave the cold and all behind. So with fingers crossed, I'm jumping in!  More photos and posts are in the future, so please follow me!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Fall at the Lane! Pumpkins and leaves and witches and ghost! Oh my! The weather is cooling off and fall is coming

The yard at Redbird Lane...

Our yard is finally starting to show some color..... The first picture is the front berm that's ready for mulch. In the second are the Rhododendron that are stunning
this year. The third picture shows Red Honeysuckle waiting on the Hummers! And, the final photo is light purple Iris. They bloomed a bit late but are beautiful!
This weekend I have some containers to plant and a couple of spray paint projects. weather permitting.

Projects on tap...

I have lots to do.... Work in the yard, spring/summer decor in the house and a couple of paint projects. I have an old (20 or 25 yrs) bread box from Walmart I am going to redo.... Haven't used it in years. I am going to use some ASCP on it. Watch for the before and after pictures! Also I will be posting pics of a pair of cool green vintage shutters. What a find hey were! What to do with the shutters?
1. Use on the mantle
2. Make shelves using the vintage brackets in my stash
3. Make a small screen

Spring!

So happy the weather is getting better. It's a beautiful day today!

Happy New Year....and memories of the past

Happy New Year! We have had a wonderful Christmas and New Year on Redbird Lane. There are so many thoughts buzzing in my head right now....but one thing I ran across while shopping were bags of Brach's Chocolate Stars--so I bought two! My grandma always used them. I made peanut butter blossoms and I used Stars instead of kisses! I am going to attempt to lol this post (yikes hope it works!) This will be my 1st linky!

Our second snow!

On December 26, 2012 we got our first snow of the year... To the time of about 12 inches! It was a true snow day with a house full of kids, a couple of adults and all the goodies... Chili, soup, hot chocolate and munches. We got our second snow last night and into the early morning hours.... About 6 inches! The snow plow came out around 7:30 to clear the road a bit. These pics are from the second snow and it is beautiful

More views of the mantle...

Here is my Sleepy Santa that I painted over 20 years ago.... He's one of my favorites! Also you can see more of the North Pole village. The tiny houses have so much detail! The little elves can be seen working to get everything ready! The snow in the village could be all we see... It has been pretty nice here!
