Starting a new collection . . . . .

I have collected many things over the years.

My biggest collection is my white enamel pots.  This is just some of them.


And brown bottles . . . . . . 


And dogs . . . . .


And kids . . . . . 


And old cheese graters (no picture) . . . .

And fabric (won't fit in one picture). . . . .

And quilt patterns (still won't fit in one picture) . . . . . .

And WOOL! Lots of wool . . . . . 



What I have always wanted to collect is PEWTER.  It was just cost-prohibitive. But two weekends ago, Dear Hubby and I went antiquing and found these two little pieces.


They are a little banged up but the price was right.  I am keeping them in a cabinet that Dear Hubby built for me.


I hope to have a collection some day that will mean he will have to build a new shelving unit for me!

The pool is open! . . . . .

With this 90° weather, I thought today would be a good day to get the boys pool ready.


Within seconds - literally seconds - Reagan decided he just couldn't wait!


Pawing at the hose seems to be the thing to do .....


And then Nelson had to kick him out to get a drink .......


Aaaahhh .... the beginning of summertime .....
