seeing potential

sometimes one must look up close 

take in different angles

different view points

really look about at the beauty all around

exploring the hidden treasures

even the remnants of treasures can  leave us

with beautiful images

other times

it's those everyday

common place things that we ordinarily pass by

that we ought to let catch our eye

the dainties of life

like blessings enjoying summer days on the porch..

and forgotten dressers other people left on the curb..

yes..

this was FREE

a curb side collection

that we could SEE something in..

some might think it ugly

but all we could think was 

WHAT a great piece for the porch!

A great buffet to host our many dinner parties

and extra candles, and napkins and decks of cards,

this hunk of furniture will be enjoyed for some time!

we thought some chalk paint fun

bold colors

was JUST what was needed

sometimes

it's seeing the purple stems

amongst all that green in the forest..

or the beauty of the month

sometimes it's painting up things

freshening up things..

going to town

and getting it done

now that the porch is done

ya'll might be appreciating the weeds

just as much as me

or maybe not!

I thought to give you a nice good look see...

because we have got an exciting project coming up!

take a good gander 

and begin to imagine

what we might do with these from the farm

these two from the city

(yep those darling trouble making pals we LOVE so much!)

The Tree gardeners!

and ONE skid steer 

Thanks KINDLY to a very generous friend in Mr. T 

just you all wait and see!

WOO HOO!
