A little patio clean up....and a Question....

on saturday I had a little clean up time on the patio...
it gets to be a mess really quick...
my little rose bush my daughter in law
gave me was getting to much Texas heat...
so I gave it a little shade...

moved my little dog...
my 3 boys kept knocking him over...
guess they thought 3 dogs on the patio is enough...

the heat doesn't seem to bother my little frog...
she just keeps smiling...



moved my front door wreath to the back door....


straightened up the cover on my glider....
gets a mess with the dogs...

trimmed back the jungle...

started filling up the pool....
but it sprung a leak....
hubby said he can repair it....
sure hope so....
we still have a long hot summer....
I have a question....
do you remember how you started your hobbies?
what sparked your interest?
was someone an influence?
inquiring minds want to know....

Hi-
Great question!
My newest hobby- gardening- started because I desperately wanted things to look better.
Once I started working on it, I was lucky we had a great spring and everything looked good.
Now that it is summer, I realize how hard it is to maintain, but I still love it.

I like your little smiling frog. I guess horses are my biggest hobby, inspired from childhood when my dad took my sister and I riding.

Big bummer on the pool blow out:( I hope the hubby gets it fixed before the weekend!

Now let me see....hobbies. I'm inspired to cook because I love to eat and I love feeding my family. I was inspired to garden by my love of the outdoors and I love to decorate. Working in the yard is like decorating the outdoors. I used to sew but I find that I don't have as much patience for it as I used to. I also enjoy home decor so I guess beauty inspires me!

Looks like you have been busy! I have been dealing with issues, and am not getting as much done as I would like, but maybe that will change, now that one of my daughters will be here for a bit. I can hope!

I don't really know how I have started hobbies. I like to try different things and some just stick. As a small child, I started sewing and it's stuck and morphed into quilting but not all things fabric are my deal. I took a fabric dyeing class a couple of months ago. It was fun but nope not for me. Cooking has always been a natural thing as again I was brought up with it.
Love your pictures but especially love your metal glider. Sweet!
