The State of My Home

It seems like forever since I've had time to put together a post orread any others.  I have missed not getting my daily dose of other blogs.I've had a few complaints that I haven't blogged for awhile, so I thought I'd show you why.  I am up to my neck in furniture ~trying to get some things done for the store.  The bench I showedyou in the last post, sold in 3 days and I can't turn around anotherpiece that fast.  So this is what my house looks like right now.

Wall to wall furniture isn't the way I choose to live normally, so it'sbeen a challenge for me to cope with this chaos.  I don't usually don'twork on furniture in the house, ~but between the constant rain, and nowthe heat and humidity ~ I didn't have much choice.

Bags of down pillows waiting to be made pretty.  Maybe you cantell by now I don't have a basement and I live in a very small house.The garage isn't much better ~ furniture waiting it's turn for a makeover.

So ~ since it'll be a few more days until I have some decent pictures of furniture to show you, I thought I'd share my backyard gardens.They are in chaos too from too much rain, too many weedsand not enough time, but at least they are presentable.~This is my garden shed and greenhouse. It is also in much needof repair with a roof that leaks, rotting wood, falling gutters, and a broken window,but fortunately you can't tell that from these pictures. 

 My roses are at their peak right now and a beauty to behold.

Roses need no words to describe their beauty.

Pink roses have always been my favorites.

At least in my garden there is beauty and serenity ~ as long asI don't look at all the weeds.
