Cat Interrupted

I was attempting to photograph my fuzzy plant.

 Clovis was not having it.

He sat down on the landscape timber next to me and struck some 

poses for the camera as is his habit.

 He is always close by my side.

Here is the fuzzy plant.

 It blooms late in summer and really is an odd plant and was labeled an annul when I bought it two years ago in a hanging basket. It was not named thus I have no idea what it is.

We keep this terracotta tray filled with water on this corner for the birds, cat, and the puppy. 

All drink from it but not at the same time. 

Clovis is far too lazy to go after the birds and they know it.

The terracotta tray was cleaned today. 

I push mowed the front yard this morning and finally we have green grass. 

After seven inches of rain it is thick and beautiful. 

We do not water or fertilize our lawn pods. 

We are most grateful for the rain.

Tomorrow CC and I are visiting the Riverbanks Botanical Gardens and Zoo in Columbia, South Carolina. I will be taking many photographs of flowers at the botanical gardens.

Olive Bucket Images Not Easy For Olive

The owner of the consignment store where I bought the aqua chest said I could not take photos with my Rebel camera. Her reason was she has two bloggers with booths there. I believe she lacks understanding of the generosity of bloggers. It felt like the time the man got mad at me for taking a picture of eggplants at the farmers market. When I decided to buy the aqua chest the booth owner said I could take photos with my iPhone. 

Glory be.

The olive bucket. 

I want it but it is not priced for me. 

I had no idea how large they are. 

If I cannot have it, I at least wanted photos of it.

This display was in a hallway and particularly soft and pretty with the different shades of green.

This is the four drawer aqua chest we put in our bedroom. 

I have bought a couple of funeral baskets from this vendor before. 

I like her style.

You can see the aqua chest in the previous post in our dark cave of a room.

Aqua Chest

I had no choice but to look for a new chest for our clothes. 

The one we were using was borrowed and had to be returned.

I found aqua sunshine for our dark cave of an office which we are using for a bedroom.

It is the color of a Tiffany Box which you can see there in the middle of the chest.

It is close quarters in this office/bedroom but I like the large drawers.

 Sorry for the dark images the 1970's paneling makes for difficult photographs but good sleep.

CC and I are making the most of her last few days home from college. 

We saw a movie at the two dollar theatre last night and it looked 

just as good as a ten dollar movie to me.

 It has been storming all day and some areas here are actually flooded. 

We are reading books and catching up on laundry.

What are you up to?

happy weekend

Last Near Tablescape of Summer

Hobnail glass, a quilt, and finally green grass.  

What do these have to do with each other?

The last near tablescape of summer.

The tablecloth is my best church sale find ever. 

Most days we use it as a throw in our den but I have just laundered it.

We are thankful for daily rains that have revived our flowers and grass. 

I have decided that when I do tablescapes (every other full moon on a Wednesday) I need a basket to carry plates and such to the patio table. 

This inspired the last near scape of summer.

My phone is creeping out behind the basket....Yikes.
