One of my recent yard sale finds. The set was originally a 50$ set and I picked it up for 6.00. The pump did not work so I filled it with artificial flowers. It looks OK sitting on my bathroom sink. (This is not a photo of my bathroom)

I have to say I am very proud of myself. I accomplished a lot this weekend. I finished raking and began to cut some unwanted annoying bushes out of some of my gardenia bush and I just kept on cutting all over the yard. I cleared enough on trees and unwanted bushes to amount to 3 waist high piles of limbs. After clearing so much from the yard I was tired but I had to keep going since it wasn't even dark yet. So I commenced to dig out a new garden along the front porch. When I moved into this place 3 years ago there were no gardens and I began to dig last year. So far I have put in 3 gardens and am adding 4-5 new gardens and garden areas.

I have been blessed with many seeds from fellow bloggers and I have also ordered more seeds from Hometown seeds. (I did not get a discount) I will have the best gardens I have ever had.

You can see that I had to go back to make it larger.

My heavy duty yard gloves. I use these for raking and shoveling and they are so fantastic. I hate to get blisters from raking and these gloves have prevented any problems on my hands except soreness and ooohhh the arthritis.

I won the gloves over at Ginger's blog, Law of the Land. Visit Ginger at: http://lawoftheland.blogspot.com. Ginger is such a sweetheart. And I love to read her blog. She has some beautiful gardens. I am so excited about these gloves. I have another pair just like them and they are the best gloves I have ever seen for gardening. The grip on the inside of them is tuff and aids in pulling weeds. Oh and she also sent me a bonus of yellow four o'clock seeds.

Look what my mom has passed on to me. This belonged to my grandmother and I am not sure just how old it is. Anyway I must get some fabric and stuff to try it out. I use to sew everything when my kids were small. So I'll be glad to pick it up again. I want to learn to quilt.

Sunday was a day of playoffs. Geaux Saints. I am so proud of the New Orleans Saints. We have longed for this day when our favorite team goes to the Super Bowl playoffs. I sure hope they beat the Colts. What a party that would bring. PS-I am not a partier.

Haiti - what a horrible disaster. It's hard to imagine living conditions such as what they experienced before and now after this devasting disaster. We all will continue to pray for them.
