Cinco De Mayo

 Hola!  Happy Cinco de May

  Bob did a great little project for Cinco de Mayo ( a day early)  . We had a big aloe plant which I took to work and of course it grew a lot of little plants. So he pulled them out and brought them home.

  We got some miscellaneous containers ( yogurt, pringles) and he planted them in the cups. So now we will have some more to keep or to give!  They are so much fun. And so easy to grow!

  When he was done , he put some decorative stone  to hold in the water.  Actually , he got it from Salvation Army. It is  rocks for aquariums, but we thought it looked decorative !

  A little historical note :  Cinco  de Mayo celebrates the Battle of Puebla , at which the Mexican Army defeated a larger , better trained French Army.  Oddly enough , it is not celebrated all that much in Mexico itself.  Rather , it was brought to California by Mexican Settlers. Today Mexican Americans celebrate their heritage.

 Life's  always a holiday on  Shady Lane!

Spring Decor/Spring

  Here is another Easter Decoration we did this year.  We have had Mr.Rabbit for many years. He is made of plaster / resin material. We always put him out in the spring.

  This year Bob went to put him out, his bottom half broke off . So here is what Bob did:  Took a large planter and filled it with kitty litter ( for the ice in the winter)  .Then he stuck  Mr. Rabbit into the planter.

 Later when we went to the dollar store we got some plastic Easter eggs. ( We needed a few more for our other decorations)   So we put the rest around Mr. Rabbit and put in on the front patio!

Easter/Spring Decor!

 Go now and look for half price Easter Decor!  We got our egg wreath on sale before Easter but I bet if you check now , they are even further reduced!

  I have wanted one of these for years but at $30.00 I did not think it was worth it. This one was 10.00 and hopefully will last us a while. It is by our front door and looks really nice against our green siding.
