Happy Homemaker In Texas

The Weather
I woke to sunshine.  It is very nice outside but the backyard is under water.  I need mud boots!  More rain expected. 

From my window
I have a new garden.  Did I tell you?  It is called a Bumble Bee garden and is filled with little yellow flowers that Bumble Bee's love.  AKA the yard is filled with Dandelions.  I give up. 

How I am feeling this morning 
Oddly.  Even though I am looking at Dandelions I am planning a great day of staying in and working in my crafting room.  Makes me happy.  And the computer booted and is working and that makes me super happy. 

On my To Do List
Work on a Flower theme Junk Journal 
Begin a Trash 'Fraken Paper' Junk Journal 

Both for SWAPs

Maybe do a little more straightening in the craft room and move another shelp.

The same as last week.  Don't tell.  I didn't turn a page.  But tonight . . . oh that's the next topic!

I got this one in the mail!  I mentioned last week I won a giveaway. The author was enough enough to send me an autographed copy!

I'll be turning the pages tonight.

A Blessing to share
This week the Humane Society offered a Free vacination clinic. 
The girls went for shots.  Lola was just read since we got he last year.  Domino was behind but they are now up to date. 

From the camera

Yes we have had a lot of rain.  My daughter brought her pig home from the old barn where she worked. He is enjoying his new puddle.
