Some of This & Some of That!

Saturday evening! Just relaxing after a busy day. We've  been working on our property moving a tree and preparing for our new front walk. Dirt is everywhere.

This lovely tree was next to my front porch but we had to move it to this new location. Our squirrels were using it as a catapult to jump onto the porch roof and onto my main roof and they were biting through shingles, etc. So we had to move the tree. We plan to plant a small tree in its place; perhaps a weeping cherry or a mini Japanese maple.

We are also preparing for our new front walk. My husband wants the dirt to sit for awhile and compact but it will be done shortly. I'm one of those people who have a love/hate relationship with work being done at my house...My husband does everything and he is super neat but I guess it's the upheaval of everything. I love the results though!

Today was a beautiful day! As a matter of fact, tomorrow is supposed to be a beauty too. Caitlin and Billy went to the zoo today! We live an hour away from the Bronx Zoo. Oh, and speaking of animals, Frankie our silkie chicken has been sitting on her egg! Even though she always lays them, she never wants to "own"them. She runs away from them!!!  But for some reason, she has now developed a motherly urge I guess and has been sitting on her egg!After two years of laying!   I'm gonna be a Grandma (maybe)....I still think she'll get bored and abandon it but we'll see.

I made two flower arrangements:

The one above I did a while back in a the stainless tub. Below I just did in a ceramic pitcher I had gotten from AC Moore. Just adding some Spring to the house!

Also added some ivy and lights to my star birdhouse. This is supposed to be an outdoor item but it just doesn't last outside even under a covered porch. I love it indoors behind my butter churn.

That's about if for me! Time for my hot chocolate! Have a great evening!
