Going, Going, Gone

WOW!!! Where did July go??

It's been a busy summer of , a yard work we go, a yard work we go, hi ho the dairy o a yard work we go! and the watering with heat wave I just might think about a watering system for next year. or learn to get up earlier to get all the watering done before 10am around here is when the temp reaches 60*

I did finally get the window boxes put on the front of the house and the little seedlings planted.

It doesn't look bad. But looking at the whole picture I think I might have to rethink the size of the boxes or the size of the plants. What do you think?

I don't Think the planter boxes really do anything for the house.
Maybe if I give the plants a little time, they'll grow into the box.

After all that it's time to be thinking about something for dinner

I think today I'll crank up the grill and grill country Pork Ribs "Yummy" I might even put on a few ears of Olatha, Colorado corn even more yummy.

Thanks for stopping by

July Patriotic Touches - In the Kitchen

Hi Friends,

So glad you stopped by, today I adding a few Patriotic touches above my kitchen cabinets.

This vintage brown rooster I bought at auction at least 25 years ago. I haven't seen another one like it and no marking that I can see. I add pip berries all through out my house.

The blue glass bottles are added to the collection when ever I come across them.

Same with the tins, I'm always on the look out for vintage tins.

This vignette I add a large glass jar with my collections of cookie cutters

In this vignette I added a couple of items I collect. The tin box is a Madel coffee tin 

I added a sprig of ivy in white enamel pan with red trim, I have also had for a long time

The pfefee pepper shaker is the largest shaker in a small collection of these little people shakers

-blue candle in prim candle holder that I have had for a few years

-As you can tell I used a couple of aged books to give a little height to this vignette.

Thank you for stopping by to see some of the patriotic vignette I added to my kitchen.

God Bless you and your Family,

I'm Vicki a Colorado Junkett

Where is the Summer Going!!

WOW!!!

It's been a busy summer,

What my family likes to do for Summer fun is rafting the Yampa River, summer BBQ's with my Mom, sister and brother when he's in the area, camping, fishing. I really haven't had any opportunity to do these kind of outings yet this summer.
Thank goodness for the "Little Town Festivities".......Dirt Track Car Racing, Friday Night Street Dance, 4H/County Fairs, 30 minute Parades, Mud Bog Races............... with the way the economy is in my area, this is what I can afford as far as "Vacation" goes.

What does your family like to do for Summer Fun?!?!?!?!?

Have a Great Day!!
