I grew them for the first time when I lived in D.C., and even though I took the bulbs when I moved, sadly, the North Carolina squirrels ate them. My sweet mother gifted me with a box of assorted pink bulbs this year and this is the first one to bloom. Oh my how I love them:-)</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIzfWTZPntbrFk01PtDpbsT4QG242BzpbJyisBCvMU3VwUYMjp1U1CIY42p4ZuNII7Ks5RAq8dEE8i8aqJNNmcpgHFbOzODYIr592qDpfMCWS7M22G4mXfD0smuJhAtZvq5OvDfIlvN5Q/s1600/lilies1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIzfWTZPntbrFk01PtDpbsT4QG242BzpbJyisBCvMU3VwUYMjp1U1CIY42p4ZuNII7Ks5RAq8dEE8i8aqJNNmcpgHFbOzODYIr592qDpfMCWS7M22G4mXfD0smuJhAtZvq5OvDfIlvN5Q/s640/lilies1.jpg" width="578"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, 'Lucida Console', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, 'Lucida Console', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;"><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pin It" class="aligncenter" src="http://www.clickinmoms.com/cmprodaily/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/pinit.jpg"></a></div></div></span><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://anita-faraboverubies.blogspot.com/2013/06/lilies-from-garden.html#more">Read more...</a>

Shopping for old wood...

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happy Monday everyone!

What are the chances of that? It's kind of between gray, green and blue.  It's a Walmart Colorplace paint and oddly enough called, "Grand Smoky Mountain." Considering where we live, that works for me. These boards are around 100 years old, and have not been repainted at all so I am really excited to have a historical color to use. I did not paint these boards, but am using them in their "reclaimed" state. I did, however buy a gallon of the paint to use as I think I have found the color to paint over the white trim and french doors.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBHM0ZT4U2z9L5JLvfOUBLVt3OJLRKQCbpxsbSToKb2KnbV2MYMlk1Iy1vZ43-XI17F_H3uuFL3KiusCtDUlV04iK8k6r-Rj1-DgIkqbjWN_h504fX0JQODuywTICoyvV-UGQ6KWOBgSQ/s1600/hallbath21paintcolor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBHM0ZT4U2z9L5JLvfOUBLVt3OJLRKQCbpxsbSToKb2KnbV2MYMlk1Iy1vZ43-XI17F_H3uuFL3KiusCtDUlV04iK8k6r-Rj1-DgIkqbjWN_h504fX0JQODuywTICoyvV-UGQ6KWOBgSQ/s400/hallbath21paintcolor.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Stay tuned for the whole bath makeover...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anita</div>
