I'm doing a bit of featherin' today. Featherin' my nest that is. It seems that with all the time spent working outside in the garden, the nest is looking a bit neglected.
This morning it is raining. So while mother nature takes care of things outside, I will be inside shinin' and sprucin'.
Washin' and ironin'.
I'm so glad I cut some peonies before the rain got to them. It will be nice to enjoy them up close and personal as I whiz by them with the vacuum and dust rag.
I've got my work cut out for me today, but I don't mind. In fact I'm kinda looking forward to it. Since my husband won't be home for dinner, I'll be working along at my own pace. A little work, a coffee break, some more work, a blog break :-). No pressure here today.
Beautiful post!!
ReplyDeleteOh just the perfect kind of day! And what fun to have your hubby home for lunch. Love your picnic basket with the lovely vintage hanky.
ReplyDeleteGardeners say God made rainy days so they could get house work done LOL! I see you are doing just that. I love your blue basket grouping. Love blue anyway so I really like your blue accents.
ReplyDeleteThe white peonies look so pretty in the blue vase as does all your little touches around your house. You have a beautiful home.
ReplyDeleteWe are supposed to be getting some rain this afternoon.
When it gets warm out, I live in the garden, and just come inside to sleep! I love that blue picnic basket, and your peonies look fantastic in that vase!
ReplyDeleteHappy Nesting!

I don't mind days like that at all! Your vintage touches are so pretty. Those peonies are gorgeous! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteMy kind of day! I was to go to town today (50 minutes away) but it's kind of dark and stormy, so I am just loving being at home! Come say hi :D
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try to take a page from your book and the next time I'm stuck inside due to the weather I'm going to accomplish something instead of self-pity and empty calories!!! Your photos are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteMe, Jammie, again. I keep forgetting to tell you how the little sign about your delirious kitchen never fails to make me laugh...Thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteI love days like that when I can just do things at my own pace. I'm waiting for a good rainy days to do some housework! Sounds like you have an excellent day planned (and loved the photos)!

Hi Kim..... thanks so much for the good wishes on my day trip!!
ReplyDeleteNo rain here, we're needing it badly.
I love rainy days....I'm being picky though.... not too many rainy days.
I love all your pretties, and the peonies are so beautiful!!
Kim ~ Your home is so charming...you seem to have just that right touch. It is so nice to have a full day to "feather your nest" and "putter" and not have a set schedule! I am sure that your day has been a lovely one! Blessings ~ Teri
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments!! I went over to Mockingbird Hill Cottage and she had some great pictures. Those white locker baskets were out of this world!!
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures. The peonies are so pretty. Hope you had a wonderful day. Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteWe're having a turn of cool, rainy weather. I hate to admit it, but I've had to turn the heat on a couple of times! Still, the lawn and gardens are lush and green and the farmers are preparing the fields here in the food belt. Covet the sunshine!

Love your little birds nest...come over to my place and check out my nest! It is a real one with real eggs!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do it? How do you take simple chores of fluffin' and sprucin' and create a gorgeous and appealing post? What beautiful pictures you shared of your home. The first one stands out to me, with the colorful glass and the light reflecting off of it. Well, come to think of it, they all stand out to me. I have always liked seeing perfectly pressed linens. Reminds me of my grandma. I can still hear her words as we ironed in the living room..."make sure you don't press any of the wrinkles into the pieces you are ironing." You did a great job on that lovely blue and white linen. Hope your day is going well for you. I am so thankful I stopped to visit your blog.
ReplyDeleteKim isn't a clean home just the best feeling? I adore your white peonies and bird coffee set. Everything is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend. ~Melissa :)
Nice, Kim. It's always fun to visit you! And what beautiful peonies!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day, Kim! Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Donna
I like those kind of days! Can't wait for the peonies to open over here.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteNo pressure is always good. lol
I don't know what it's like but I know it would feel good.
Everything looks great around your house.
We're getting the rain you had right now.
Enjoy your week!
Hi Kim, Hope your day of feathering your nest went well, I have been feathering my nest since coming home from vacation.
