I  thought I would start off today's post with a shot of my azaleas.  These bushes were originally in front of my house.  We eventually moved them to the backyard and they are OH! so much happier.  I always  know Spring is here when they start to bloom.

I haven't shared with anyone I am here yet - in blogland.  I'm not sure why that is.  I guess I have looked at way too many AWESOME blogs, so I feel  safer not opening myself up.  I know - I need to get over it.

For all of you who love antiques, country decor, and really cool DYI projects, I would like to share a couple of blogs with you.  One is called the Lettered Cottage.  This belongs to Layla Palmer.  She and her husband create some amazing things.  They are also doing  alot of reconstruction  on their home.  I love this blog.  There is always something knew to see that will inspire me.  I hope it will do the same for you.  The other blog is called the Polished Pebble.  The  authoress of this wonderful blog is Kelley.  She is a master of decorating in such creative ways.  In fact, she is so good at it, her prior home was bought in tact - furniture, decor everything!!!!  Check these out if you love to decorate and need some inspiration.

Need to work on a photo assignment.  See you tomorrow ~ whoever "you" will eventually be!  :)

It's Never Too Late - To start blogging

I have paid lip service (for my potential younger readers who weren't privy to all of the wonderful and quaint sayings of my parents' generation ~ this means "talking about") to creating a blog for a very long time.  I don't know why I found doing this so intimidating.  I have no idea what kind of shape this blog will take over time.  I have so many possibilities going around and around in my head.  I have looked at so many beautiful blogs ~ oh wait ~ maybe this is why I found having my own blog intimidating.  Smile  Anyhoo,  I'm hoping to at least create something that will be thoughtful yet entertaining, creative as well as interesting.  I guess for now I will just take it a day at a time.
