Dogs - One Too Many Tonite!
I am the proud owner of a beautiful Great Dane/Black Lab mix. . . and I have a grand-dog, Elvis, the evil weeny dog. My adventure this evening. I let the dogs out when I got home and when I let them in, but I smelled poop! So I smell Nitro's coat, no poop there. . . but then I gingerly picked up Elvis and WOW!!! I thought I was going to gag! So I put Elivis in the sink and gave him a bath.
Wait . . It gets better . . as I am giving him a bath, I get to pull a 6" piece of grass out of his rear-end! I thought I was going to die right on the spot wet dog and all!
I am thinking I would rather have grand KIDS, you can hand them back to their parents.
Sign up for Hill's Science Diet information, so you can make sure the Good Dog stays around!

Spring has Sprung in North Texas!
With beautiful warm weather, I am excitied to announce that ALL three trees planted last year have buds on them! The oak tree, the purple plum and the oriental red maple. Even the crepe myrtle has made it through. It has taken until my 50's to look at the life in a different way. To see plants and flowers blooming is an optimistic aphrodisiac. The world may be chaotic, but God's earth is full of new life. Rejoice in this renew of spirit, at least for today.

The Many Talents of Cheap Coffee Filters
I recieved this email from a friend of mine and I just had to share!
1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.
2. Clean windows, mirrors and chrome. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.
5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust. 6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.
7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.
8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.
9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.
10 Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.
11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.
12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters..
13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them.. It soaks out all the grease.
14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."
15. As a sewing backing. Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliqueing soft fabrics.
16. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.
17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.
18 Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.
19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills.
20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies.. Saves on having extra bowls to wash.
21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.
22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.
23. Use them to sprout seeds. Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds inside, fold it and place it into a zip-lock plastic bag until they sprout.
24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers. Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone book..
25. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.

More Birds, In an Entry Way and on a Budget
The entry way in my house is not a normal square pad or rectangle pad. My entry way has four different entrances. The front door, a step down in to the dining/living room, a double door into the kitchen and a step down into the wet bar-which will be turned in to a small desk area as soon as I finish the other 20 projects in various stage of completion! We have lived here for 10 years (3,650 days) and this area has always been a very big thorn in my side!
Finally, I have finally been able to create a space that is very welcoming.
I had been wanting an antique birdcage and during my Central Texas antique tour with my dear friend Jeanine, I was able to find one in Round Top.
I have a beautiful Queen Anne dresser I inherited from my Grandmother. I am surprised it is in such good shape, because when I was a little girl at every visit I would go through every draw to see what was new. The jewelry box that always set on top was also visited often.
I added 2 buffet table laps that I had in another room. The mirror was a bedroom find!
I found this sweet bird at a local antique store for $6.95, added a nest that I also found there for $4.50. It makes the bird cage serve its purpose!
I had this navy blue material, I had bought for another project (that didn't get made!), so I used it as a table runner. I found the cute little plate and metal birdie that I used as a key ring for the front door on sale for 50% off, along with the three metal bird plates on the wall. All for less than $20.

I added the church bird house in the top picture and then,
I found the 2 branches on sale for $1.50 each. The welcome sign was another decorating item that had been stashed away for another day, well that day has come!
And now for the Finale!
