This is not what I Call Spring Showers!

Well needless to say we here in Michigan have seen many different types of weather at many different times of the seasons. Just last week Tom and I were enjoying warm 60's and starting to put our wonderful homemade compost into the vegetable gardens preparing them for a nice new crop of garden delights this summer.

This is our wonderful composter.....it may not be pretty it makes beautiful compost.

From coffee grounds and vegetable trimmings to this beautiful "Black Gold" compost. Who could ask for more and it's all free too!

We knew this great weather may not last so we have been outside almost daily planning some new projects for the yard. We will be building a pergola and putting in a privacy fence and a nice wooden picket fence for the vegetable garden.

After having some nice conversation about these projects yesterday we also turned on the news and NOT to our amazement we heard about a Winter Storm Warning heading our way for Sunday night. We both just laughed and decided to chalk it up to "Michigan Weather" again. This is what we woke up to this morning.....let's hope it melts fast. We have yard work to do LOL!!!!

Enjoy your day...

Snowman Angel Gourd

I'm not quite sure if this gourd will end up looking like a snowMAN or a snowWOMAN but it will definately have some angel wings on the back. I loved making those snowANGEL patterns in the snow when I was a child so I decided to paint this gourd with that idea in mind.

I took this plain gourd, base coated it in Lt. Buttermilk acrylic paint and then drew on a few designs.
I have quite a bit more to paint and of course I need to put the sealer on but it's looking like a snowPERSON :-)

More to come......
