Fall Blooms

I just wanted to share some pictures of our pretty Iris's with everyone.  We bought this Iris at Easter time.  My Mom loved Iris's and we saw this at Home Depot during Easter so Cas bought me this pretty one.  The name of it has something to do with "memories", I can't remember the name of it exactly but it was perfect!  We thought since it had bloomed in the Spring that it would not bloom again until next Spring so we were excited when  Fall started and our pretty Iris started blooming.  Cas's Mom bought this bird bath for him last Christmas and Cas bought me the little statue sitting in the middle of it.  We were at a nursery in Birmingham and he found it, it is an angel holding a rabbit!  My Mom collected rabbits so this was perfect!  We started on this project this Spring and moved the bird bath in the middle of the yard and and started planting Iris's and purple(one of her fave colors) flowers around it.  We just have to find a bench to put out there.  So Summer is nice because we always have a bunch of pretty flowers blooming but it was just as nice to have these fall blooms!

Yard Selling

I woke up early this morning to go "Yard Selling"! I didn't feel well so I kind of poked along taking my sweet time. I have not been to a yard sale in a long time but have been inspired by other bloggers to get out there and find items at a thrifty price that I can re-purpose in our house. The 1st one I made it to had some cute things and an awesome table. I sadly did not have a place for t. The only thing I purchased was this cute little all hook. I am thinking it will make it to the guest room to hold one of my baby dresses on.

I made it to a few more. Did not see anything that would work for my French Country needs and moved on. I did make sure to stop by the one that was listed in the paper that said she was raising money for her Breast Cancer 3-day walk. I did not see much so I purchased 2 old "Country Home" magazines for 25 cents. I like to look through and get ideas. I did not want to leave empty handed as it was a good cause. When I was heading to the other side I saw plants for sale. You know we buy plants any chance we can. She had Canna Lillie's and Day Lillie's for sale. Lord knows I DO NOT NEED another Day Lilly. She had already started them in pots that you can plant. So I thought I would get a couple for Cas for Easter.



Canna Lillie'sHundreds of Day Lillie's above to be separated. There are hundreds more that have already been dug up to move! They came with the house.
