Summer Time
This is our backyard and 1000 gallon Koi pond. The pond was built 10 years ago and we live out here as often and long as we can.
The Koi are quite large,12 in, and very big around. We have babies this year, over 20 which our daughter will take to her pond in a few more days.
Our very friendly frog Fernando has returned this year. He comes out when I call him and hops on my shoe for a ride,he also like his nose scratched!
The yard is filled with Hosta's and shade loving plants. Red Geraniums are a favorite and do well in our northern Michigan climate.Our Golden Willy will take you on a tour,he loves to watch the Koi.
You are welcome to stop in have a cup of tea or glass of Wine.
We have several wineries just up the road you could visit too.
I hope you're having a beautiful day and great weather where ever you are.
Happy Saturday from our backyard to your house.

A Play Day
Used 5 x 7 canvas and pretty paper to cover it.
Then made flowers from my button collection,some ribbon to trim
the top and bottom. The leaves are done with Stickles,added some pretty butterflies and a few words.
These will be handy for a quick gift with a handmade card.
What do you make when you have play time?

A Real Treasure
Every so often I am delighted to find a treasure.
Something that takes me back in time.The days that were a bit easier,full of memories and fun.
I was blessed to grow up on the shores of Lake Huron where my Dad( who I called Papa) was a druggist and had his own drug shop in a little spot called Greenbush, Michigan.
It was quite a success in it's time 50's, 60's & 70's with an old fashioned soda fountain that I ran from a very young age.
But the very best memories were all the wild life around us,Racoons,Possum, Deer and more.
We also raised chickens,took in every stray and because I thought Papa was a Doctor I brought him every injured critter I found.
I fed the seagulls,crows,fox and all that needed a meal plus some TLC.
In general I AM A TRUE ANIMAL LOVER. I talk to dogs in cars,wave to them as I drive by and have been nearly rear ended a thousand times by saving a cat, dog, squirrel or duck.
So OK it's a bad case of animal love,I agree !
The treasure I found is this blog which I have fallen in love with and would sell my soul to walk in this gals shoes for a day.
If you love animals go visit this special spot.

Front Porch
The weather report says warm tomorrow,maybe 70.
I will believe it when I see it ! Such a cold spring here.
We re-did our front porch and froze some,but it's done and looks very nice. Replaced the wood railing with the stuff you don't have to paint. Also put down outdoor carpet,no more painting there either.There will be Morning Glory's climbing up the trellis and
hanging baskets of Geranium's over the railing,plus planters hang on the railing too. The awesome doormats I found at Lowe's and the tablecloth is from Etsy. Do stop by if your in the neighborhood.
Can you tell I love Geranium's and they have to be the bright red ones too!
