Spring is Here

Peach blossoms and sweet Carolina skies tonight. 

Guess it's time to come out of hibernation. 🌸

We've been pretty busy around here this past winter. 

A few house projects, but mainly we've both been working on our classes.

Pretty much it's been study, study, study!

Luckily, Paul's nearly finished with his last semester 

and I have a couple more classes left. 

Even though we've had our noses stuck in our books, 

we do have some projects to update you on.  

Our kitchen counters/backsplash was finished this December. 

We finally finished up our dining room, but are looking for the right chandelier.

We've also been working on some changes to our master bedroom. 

This weekend I'll be working on redoing a barrel cane chair I rescued. :)

Even though we've been a bit quiet these past few months, 

we are doing well, keeping busy, and planning some great projects and adventures.

BIG NEWS: Summer 2016 will officially be spent in Europe! 

Home base will be Copenhagen, Denmark.

We are beyond excited for this opportunity and have SO much to plan. 

Birdy It's Cold Outside

Normally, I feed the birds year round.  

I love seeing all our feathered visitors throughout the year.  

We get so many different varieties of birds 

and I always think it's neat when we get a visit from a type of bird I've never seen.

Unfortunately, our old bird feeder broke months ago.

And, even though I bought a couple replacement feeders in October, 

we never got around to putting them up.

Since it's been getting pretty cold out now,
I really wanted to make sure we got it hung to provide for our local birds.

Today, I finally got the mister to install this pretty cedar one on our pergola.  :)

Let the visits begin! 

Mountain Chapel Bird Feeder - Amazon

Of course, Mr. Watson is super food motivated and thinks anything edible is for him.

Luckily,  I think this bird feeder is high enough out of his superior jumping range! :) 

Just the seed litter for Mr. Watson.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! 

I hope everyone has a stomach full of comfort food and autumn pies, 

and a heart full of gratitude for as many blessings as you can count. ♥

Tomorrow it's out with the Autumn decor and in with the Christmas tree! :)  

Good luck to any of you brave souls that are getting up early 

to take advantage of the Black Friday deals!
