FRONT PORCH DRAMA




Making a switch from Geraniums to Coleus that filled the front porch urns.  The Coleus wintered in the Garden Window.  I have had Geraniums on the porches where we have lived for decades.  This was a switch.  Thinking that if the Coleus didn't make it then I could switch back to my all time favorite Geraniums.

  




The Coleus have taken well to their new location.  I LOVE THEM!  So this year no geraniums on the front porch.  When the weather begins to chill in the FALL I'll transfer them to smaller pots and try wintering them again.  I may just leave them in the urns and winter them in the entry way.  Shall see.  Nothing is in concrete.

Here it is Sunday and I will take some towels over to the cottage to dry them and collect the towels waiting in the dryer that have sat there for a week.  Needless to say, I will have towels to fold and put away.

My SUNDAY shall be a lazy easy one as I need the rest.  Take a deep breath and sigh.  We had Chicken Salad Sandwiches for lunch and not sure about Supper.  Maybe Popcorn and Pop.  A nice snack meal for watching a movie.  

Plans for this week.  I need to get a couple of birthday cards in the mail for family.  DEEP clean the bathrooms and spend hours in the room that will eventually be the TV room if we do not change our minds.  Right now I am very HAPPY with the TV in the Living room where I have my recliner.  This does not make up for having mess in the spare room.  This covid thing has turned me into more of a hermit than I like.  

We ventured out on Thursday and Friday and Saturday.  A different outside door is needed for the carriage house as the one on there is rotting and warping.  We found a $20 door that we will pick up next week.  Have to have our little car worked on before driving it to TOPEKA to pick up the door.  So TOPEKA is in the works for next week.  A coffee will be in order.  This is about the only food item we have had outside of our HOME since the middle of MARCH.

This is a miracle in itself that we have not ate out at all since mid March.  A miracle.  The eating out before my HUSBAND retired was frequent.  I'm glad we did this because at the time being we are staying HOME to eat.  My favorite FANCY RESTAURANT closed their doors.  Sigh.  

One of my favorite discount stores closed their doors...Tuesday Morning.  This one makes me sad.  Oh how I enjoyed them.  Also our local Chinese Food Restaurant closed their doors.  Sniff sniff.

Earlier in the year the Health Food Store that had a deli closed.  This one hurt because once a week I would go there for their ORGANIC meals in which I felt like I was doing something terrific for our health.  I miss them.




So as the cookie crumbles, I must go on to new adventures.

My favorite THRIFT STORE is still there.  They have a inside coffee shop that I have used before but not since March.  

THIS week I pray that I have more energy.  I needs it.  I will begin FLOOR EXERCISES this week and dust the stairs as well.  

Exciting world here on the PRAIRIE!  
Love to all.
Praying that the coronavirus disappears.  Oh Jesus, please hear my prayer.

You can say what you want, but I believe that someone tweaked a virus that got out of hand and it happened in the States, but was taken to China.  Conspiracy Theories galore  

Just sayin'.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
