A Quick Hello

Checking In and Working Hard

010

Hello dear Bloggy Buddies, just popping in to say a quick hi. I am getting so much done! But….blogging gets into your blood, doesn’t it? I miss all of you and will be back shortly to visit your blogs; looking forward to that!

I am tweaking the house for spring…my second favorite season. It is chilly in Florida but the sun is shining so brightly that it makes your heart sing. We are planting new grass in our front yard and what a job. Whew! Also trimming away all the dead things from the intense cold we had in January.

I have already changed out two cabinets and will show these in one of the memes….so exciting! I have  purchased some new pillows…..like I need more. :-) I am addicted to pillows and my sweet husband never sits down without having to push 2 or 3 out of his way. Yikes! He never says a word….God bless him.

Also found time to change my blog design. Yep, I am a changer….is that a word? Ha. I love color and can’t get enough of it. It makes me happy so you will always see lots of color changes with Bella Vista.

Well, I’m off. Thinking of all of you. Hope you are well and spending a bit of time on yourself. See you soon!

Barb

  3. Ahhh....pillows are great. I love them too.

    I am waiting to get the kitchen back from Chelsea so I can make candles this afternoon. However, I don't want to stop her from making the chocolate Cheesecake that she is making for tonight's dessert.
