Tuesday Morning Coffee This is the last month of my son's last year in high school .

After drop-off on his first day of kindergarten a group of overanxious moms met for coffee to hold hands, share, cry and laugh.
Today is Tuesday.... and we are still meeting for coffee.

And guess what ? Next Fall, after college drop off....on Tuesday ...we will gather over at my house... or maybe Becky's house
to hold hands, share, cry, and laugh.

Ahhhhhhhh the power of friends dropping by for coffee.

Thelma and Louis...part2

Awhile back I posted about my friend "Laverne" here. Well fast forward from then to now ... and a few bought and sold houses... and next thing ya know.... we are next door neighbors (week-ends)... in little 1930 cottages side by side in the hill country. Here is Laverne's casa. She had a head start... so her house is in GREAT shape.
Don't you love her bright blue shutters ? A view of my house from her yard.... well as you know... a total work in progress
( and I am loving the process) Yesterday in her barn we found an old old cabinet original to her house that we are going
to use as an island in MY kitchen. Thanks LAV! Can you see it that beautiful old chippy beadboard cabinet in my vintage kitchen with
shiny gleaming floors and beautiful white cottage cabinets ? ??? .
.... stay tuned !!!!

During the past few weeks I have visited so many beautiful garden posts from fellow bloggers, Joni at Cote de Texas, Brin at My Messy,Thrilling Life, FiFi at Chez Fifi, Cindy at My Romantic Home,Nancy at Shab-n-Chic... and I am GREEN with envy... because my thumb is brown and is coupled with the disadvantage of deer and hot hill country weather.

BUT we are trying to change the brown thumb trend this year!

So armed with the garden expertise of my MOM and the muscle of my DH and HS SON.... here are a few not so good pictures of the outside garden fun we have had in the past few week-ends.

Brand new Belinda's Dream roses along the wall Birdhouse... no green thumb required Bouganvillas... They grow like weeds at Nancys... but I will have to baby these Front porch.. no flowers due to deer Ladies on the front porch Geraniums from High School fundraiser Hibiscus in the big pots Lavender... supposedly grows well in the hill country Secret garden....aka sideyard.... but secret garden sounds more artistic But if the gardening efforts fail...we can always sit back and enjoy the view !! These are the garden BEFORE pictures.... can't wait to post AFTER.... keep your fingers crossed !
