Happy July 4th!!! at All About Home #203

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party! This weekend we've been working on outdoor/porch cleanup. Power washing and preparing to paint. We've been hot and dry here, but it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so I'm hoping there's dry time for a quick cookout in the afternoon. Do you/did you have big plans for this weekend? Hope you're having a great holiday.

Kick Off to Summer at All About Home #198

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party! We are so happy you come by to visit and share all the fun you've been up to lately. Wow, it's hard to believe that we'll be heading into June this week and the unofficial start of Summer with Memorial Day. 

Let's Get Planting at All About Home #197

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party! We are so happy you come by to visit and share all the fun you've been up to lately. Wow, it's hard to believe that we'll be heading into June after next week and the unofficial start of Summer with Memorial Day. 

May Flowers and Celebrations at All About Home #196

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party! We are so happy you come by to visit and share all the fun you've been up to lately. How was your Mother's Day? I hope it was a good day for you. Ours was quiet at home, but visited on FaceTime.

Flowers in Bloom at All About Home #195

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party! We are so happy you come by to visit and share all the fun you've been up to lately. I hope everyone is having lovely spring weather with some time for flower planting and potting. I got my containers planted a bit earlier this season, because of a big sale at our neighborhood store. Unfortunately the deer found them and made a meal of them. After a move closer to the backporch, thankfully they are rebounding a bit, so I think they have a chance to recover.

Spring Pastels at All About Home #194

Hey Friends, can you EVEN believe it's May? Before you know it it will be summer! We're in the middle of tree pollen season and this few weeks is long stringy mounds that roll like tumbleweed through the yard. I have sneezing fits just watering the plants. We had our first "babysitting gig" Saturday night with our little sweetie. I have a magic rocking chair that helps ease the sting of mommy and daddy leaving for a night out. Just a few tears and lip trembling, but she's such a good baby! Ahh, the pure joy of holding her in my arms for two hours.

All About Home Link Party #193

Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Home and I are so excited to be co-hosting this fun link party, that celebrates "All Things Home". We love to see what You are up to each week, so please join in with your decor, seasonal fun, gardens, DIYs, recipes and more. We each pick and share features each week, so be sure and visit both of us to check out the weekly highlights.

Last week I shared a unique take on a mossy springtime wreath that I put together 2 years ago. It still remains one of my favorite spring wreaths I've put together. I've used it mostly in the Entry area on the console from early spring to early summer. 

Nature's Wild Victorian Springtime Wreath

And earlier in the week I shared my vintage display spot in the kitchen/hearth room area with a fun garden-y vignette on the Cookbook Cupboard.

Charming Door Gifts 

for May Day and Mother's Day

You'll love these beautiful DIY and Spring posts. Two front porches for Spring, with a super fun paint and stenciled rug to bring a small porch area some zip and zing. A look at above the cabinets as a great spot to display vintage collections and a delicious red velvet brownie, yummy for any time of year.

Fresh and gorgeous;  huge colorful cabbage with spring branches.

I LOVE this vibrant pumpkiny color and the white contrast of the porch.

Spring Fresh at All About Home #192

Hi Everyone, thanks so much for coming by. Hope you're having good weather wherever you are. It's crazy here with days at 80, then the next day in the 50s. It's still a little soon to buy my ferns for the porches or think about flower containers, and we're all dealing with tree pollen and debris which floats around till June. I love my back porch, but it can become a trap for all the yard mess. 

Spring in Bloom at All About Home #191

Hi Everyone, thanks so much for coming by. We hope you had a wonderful Easter Weekend!   And now it's time to move deeper into Spring and look toward all the fun of Summer. Time for all the birds, nests and outdoor porch and patio ideas to show up. I know I need some serious inspiration.

Easter Themed Tables and Décor at All About Home #190

Hi Everyone, thanks so much for coming by. Hello to April and Easter Week. It's hard to imagine that March has come and gone and we're now into Spring! Hoping you have beautiful weather and wishing you a wonderful week ahead! Do you have family plans for Easter?

Rabbits Run Wild at All About Home #189

Hi Everyone, thanks for coming by. Thankfully we're back to more normal March weather. Still ups and downs but it's been above freezing at night. My forsythia bushes are still alive, but the blooms were knocked out, so none of those brilliant yellow flowering branches, except for the faux ones in my decor. On a family note we were able to spend a fun evening with our sweet little granddaughter and her mommy and daddy. We had been waiting until her vaccinations kicked in for a proper visit. It was great!

Hello Spring at All About Home #188

Hey Everyone! Wow, it's been reaaaaaallllly cold this last week! I mean in the mid-teens overnight and feels more like January than March. Hopefully this coming week is going to be warmer, so we can ditch these horrible night time temps. My massive Tulip tree that covers most of the drive has been decimated this season right as all the amazing pink/lavender blooms were opening. My robins are back in town and they are shivering in their little booties. At this point I'm ready for April and Easter to show up. 

March Decor and Recipes at All About Home #187

Hey Everyone, I guess we all have "fallen forward" this weekend. If you're like me it takes me a minute to get myself adjusted. I'm like our sweet little kitties, who just couldn't understand why their feeding time was now being delayed. We're still on the yo-yo weather pattern with temps up and down and nighttime freeze warnings coming up. Welcome to life in Missouri in early March.

Spring Traditions at All About Home #186

Hi Friends, this week was my Birthday week, and our older daughter and her fiancé came down for a quick visit and dinner out. The weather is on an upward trend toward nicer days and warmer temps, but typical first week of March... 30 to 75 degrees and back, in just a few days. Of course we'll have some cooler weather up and down till the beginning of May. Several days of outside work improved the looks of the yard (thankyou hubby!) And a visit from our new goosey friend for the kids to enjoy. These aren't my pics, because I haven't been able to get a good one of him. He's larger than his Canadian Geese friends, with different markings, and very handsome. He and his mate (regular Canadian goose) come by at least once a day to visit and snack on birdseed. 

Spring Decor and DIY at All About Home #185

Hi Friends, this week it's "goodbye February and Hello March"! In my head March is early Spring and bunnies and green and anything mossy, start running through my brain. Even with a bit of snow on the ground all things "early Spring" are fair game.

Hints of Spring at All About Home #184

Hey Everyone, Hello and welcome to All About Home #184. We're heading into the end of February and before we know it, "Spring will have Sprung". We're seeing days in the 60's with a few cold snaps thrown in, and I'm itching to grab some blooming spring plants for some garden-y decor.
