Talent Alert - Petal Photographer

There's something about raindrops on delicate flower petals that screams out loud ...
SPRING has SPRUNG!
I just discovered this new and talented photographer, aren't these images to die for?
I've always been a fan of this woman's green thumb and baking ability,
but only recently have discovered her shutterbug qualities as well.

No wonder pink and green never goes out of style
(at least in my world)

Wondering who this talented woman is?

...nope, it's not me!

SURPRISE!
It's my very own incredibly awesome MOM!

Spring in the South

Like most of the Southeastern US, Atlanta is getting it's fair share of rain this Spring. With all this rain brings nice green grass, plus a chance to get the yard looking spiffy between the raindrops. The backyard is next, but until we get around to that project, I thought I'd leave you with some pretty shots of my handiwork.

Spring also means a chance to get out and visit family. Last weekend we were on Singer Island, in W. Palm Beach, when I spotted these unique fishing lockers at Sailfish Marina. Each strip of lockers has a different set of pastel doors. At first I thought these were fancy out houses:)

HELP!

This is what all my hard yard work has come to......CRITTER DAMAGE!! Is this what your newly potted planters are looking like? Then, the criminals leave their evidence behind! They must be nuts:) Every day I have to replant my poor little snapdragons. Is there such a thing as an electric squirrel fence? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated, not that I don't love squirrels with their cute chipperness, however they make poor gardeners.



Then I turn around to look over the deck and here's what I see!!! All my poor cabbages have been uprooted, some are even missing, like bad hair plugs on a bald man. Guess this one was left behind when the vermin realized they just aren't that tasty without Pick-a-Peppa sauce.

The squirrels received the blame for this prank as well, but imagine my surprise when I witnessed with my own eyeballs my dog SAMMY, pulling them out of the ground and devouring them? Did anyone know dogs ATE cabbage? Why are we spending all this money on organic dog food? Isn't she getting enough roughage? Should I start to supplement with Metamucil? She is a senior you know.

Now for some good news...

In a past iCANDY feature, I introduced you to Joom, a talented Etsy artist who's prints I recently purchased. Well, my new frames finally arrived after being on order forever from West Elm. Aren't they just perfect? I am so thrilled with how these new additions look in my dining room. Thanks JOOM!!
