spring event

Be Yourself-

I love this picture of Carlee and Anna running through the garden- oh to be young at heart.  When you come this Saturday I hope you are ready to "run" around and have fun.

"Be Yourself- There is something that you can do better than any other.  Listen to the inward voice and Bravely obey that. - unknown."

After a year of planning the Event is right around the corner.

Everything is in its place.

 I've also had a blast talking with Mindy- I can tell she is just the sweetest gal.   Can't wait to meet her in person. 

Set up starts in two days- Oh, sweet Happy Day!

See links above for directions and schedule. 

Dressing up the shed....this is just a peek...wait until you see the rest.  =)

 

 

Peony explosion-

Warning....tons of peony pictures coming ....they come and go so fast I have to share. {they will be gone by Saturday  :(  so I wanted to make sure you see them here.}

They are larger than a dinner plate and the smell ....heaven.

-In the Kitchen-

-In the guest bathroom-

In the Guest bedroom-

My goal is to plant several more plants ....  the day they are in full bloom; pick a bucket full and go door to door to spreading peony love to all my friends.

They are a shorted lived flowers but the memory of these flowers lasts long past the life of the flower.

The Spring Event is Saturday April 28, Starting at 10am....make sure to check the links above for driving directions and other useful information. 

Thanks for all your prayers- Looks like The Spring Event will have fabulous weather as of today- it is predicted to be mostly sunny and a pleasant 77.

 

A Week to go- last work day.

We've unloaded our trucks, painted, sewn up a storm, gathered, cooked, cleaned, ordered, tasted, prayed...no rain please and just plain had fun getting ready for the Spring Event.

My garage is full,the shed is full and  the jars are stacked knee deep....not much left to do...ha, ha =)

We have questioned-

1. How do you store 200 centerpieces?
2. Where do you store 200 gifts? {quiet please that's a surprise}
3. Will it rain?  Please no 
4. How many feet in 28 tables?
5. Will my flowers still be blooming? 

Etc. etc.

The wisteria  and lilac are blooming- hope they are still in bloom when you come.

And the peonies are just starting....oh please hang on until April 28th

Ruth was also working on her items for the Spring Event-

She will be selling  Awesome aprons and Tea towels-

My thought.... if you want one...head straight to her area, she has a limited number and I know they will go fast.

Yes, we are just plain having fun.....

Even the Turkeys are having a blast.

Happy Day- One week to go.

 Note- I just checked accuweather and they are forecasting showers for that day....What...really?

  Lets work together and pray for a nice rain free day.

Awakening Garden- Spring Event Venue

 

As we get closer to the Spring Event {April 28, 2012} I thought I would show you little pieces of the awakening Garden- because I want you to feel like you are coming home when you come to the Spring Event.

 This has been the driest year on record in California =(  so, it is not as green as it usually is....but we are hoping for a miracle wet March.   Never- the- less it is still beautiful.  Come take a little walk with me....some of the things you will see on April 28....plus much more....hoping all the flowers are in bloom and we have a beautiful day.

-Through the gates-

-Drive up the road-

-Come down the road-

Yes, you will see our lovely solar panels....I've grown to love them over the years...especially this year....not only haven't we had a PGE bill for 8 years....but PGE cuts us a check once a years for surplus energy we made but didn't use.  Happy day

Our fruit trees are blooming- { We have 21 fruit trees.}

 

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
