Nature in Summer...

The beautiful days of Summer bring an abundance of some of the most interesting wild flower blooms and foliage in the Pacific Northwest. Green, green and more green bushes, shrubs and our great evergreen trees. Spectacular! A summer day filled with nature....a true delight.

Mother's Day...

Honoring our Mother's on a special sunday in May is a time honored tradition. Many countries share this, but on different days of the year. However, we should honor our dear mom's every hour and minute of each and every day. They make our lives special and wonderful. Thanks to mother's we have it so much better!  Happy Mother's Day 2014!

Saving on Groceries...

Yes, using coupons does really save money. At the grocery store, drug or department store and even the large box stores. Special holiday discounts and senior days really do work. Just this week I used a special senior day 10% off discount. Makes shopping just a little easier! I was actually happy to be in their store spending time and a few dollars. Don't be afraid to ask for a good customer or senior discount any day of the week. Those savings really add up month after month...Simple shopping...

Spring Days...

Spring is my very favorite season of the year. It is the renewal of all spirit and soul of the garden and my simple life. I look forward to the daffodils and tulips just like when I was a child wandering in my mothers garden. She always grew the most beautiful iris and primroses, still like to see all of those primroses in her raised garden this year, simple elegance with the best sweet scent ever! Thanks mom...
