this 'going with the flow' thing.
It's HARD! Especially if you are a multi tasking, super organizing, anal wanna be! Part of this stems from my daily day job (analyst)--but now Devyn has been having the BIGGEST, UGLIEST temper tamtrums. Girl hit the terrible 2's wayyyyy to early. Food flying across the table, stomping feet, laying down and swinging both legs and arms. Screaming when getting dressed.
Wooozzzeee! I know, I know---everyone tells me it will pass but STRESS, STRESS!
This weekend is 'Spring Yard Clean Up, Spruce Up'. Unfortunately, our gazebo collapsed during our 1 big snowstorm here. I am seriously still sad about it. I loved that space out in the corner of our yard with it's concrete patio underneath. Sigh---the price of those babies has really gone up over the years.
The poor yard has been severely neglected the last 2 years with my being pregnant then Devyn's first year. Let's just say my hubby is more of a technical person than outdoor's person :)
So we have mulch, clippers, flowers, potting soil! We are going to be 'purdy' real soon as they say here in SC :)
I'll post pics when the ugly bermuda grass has turned green. The builder put it in and I just don't like it.
These gals put together some yummy scrapping kits. Check it out! Lots of shabby goodness and vintage. I just ordered a load and check out that Glimmer Mist--can you say YUM!
Happy Weekend!
Reedy River at Falls Park--can you believe this is our view in our downtown/Main St area!!

Reedy River at Falls ParkI thought I would share a few photos of where I live, Greenville South Carolina. We are finally see a bit of Fall in the air with the temps down to 80 degrees. I know, that's not cool but it feels like it after 5 months of 95 degree heat and humidity. This is one of my favorit times of year. Fall invorigates me to bring out those beautiful reds, golds, orange, greens, and browns. I do miss my red maples. D & I planted one when we moved in our starter house 9 yrs ago and that tree may have grown 3 feet in those amount of years. It finally has a roundish shape and produces leaves but nothing like that firey red I grew up with. *sigh*
All these photos are of downtown. I'm lucky to work in this beautiful area. We have a spectacular river and waterfall that flows right through the middle of town and it just reflects how beautiful the years of restoration have brought Main St USA back on the map. Our town is very International due to the various companies that have settled here, BMW, Michelin, Flour Daniel, GE, Samsung, many many others. After years of struggle with losing all the textile industry, it's nice to see it prosper again. Nothing like when my Dad moved us here over 25 yrs ago.
Art has a larger audience here now. There is a row of studios that they rent to artists for a few bucks a month where you can go in and view there work. It's awesome! They face the river with gorgeous views. It's part of a non profit organization to bring in the Arts. Now if we could get a few more scrapbook shops!
