At Home

~Get Me Outta Here!~

I can’t watch another Netflix show! The rains have been driving me crazy on top of this sheltering in time.  Being outside in the garden has been my saving grace, and raining for a couple of weeks here has done me no good.  I can’t eat all that I bake either although you would think […]

~Once There Was A Princess~

Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind. ~Henri Frederic Amiel

~The Skinny of 2019~

One has to look back in order to move forward…

~Continuing On ~

After a nine-month break, it feels good to come back to the blogs. Starting in January I’m getting back into 365 Days (a photo a day) and a once-a-month post right here on Tales From My Lens. It’s been so long that I’d even forgotten how to upload from the phone which is what I […]

~A Little Break Did Not Hurt~

A little refreshing was much needed. Somehow I had to rethink this year, as last year was a terror trying to get things done on the house and then posting with no time to have fun posting. Even my simple post of once a week got me weathered and worn by the end of the […]

~The Beer Garden Crew~

Sometimes taking a walk around the gardens is worthy. I noticed a few things today. This guy decided to pull up a seat and grab a beer right on top of the moss and stein. Gotta love a sloppy gnome. Here’s a fellow getting off work and heading toward the beer gardens. He’s trouble, I…

~Vinyl Memories In Check~

After the material on this bench went kaput, it was time to not only update it but give it some weather proofing material. Getting tired of taking cushions off every night and then putting them back on in the morning, prompted the lazy in me for another material type for the outdoors. So against everything…

~Insta Cheesecake~

Why yes, yes I did make a cheesecake in an Instant Pot and I liked it…

~Bench At The Old Man Tree~

This little bench was found under some brush at the bottom of the yard. So it got some cleaning and a new spot for the lizard to pull up a seat. It is always a hike to get here and there on this property so when this was found it had to go where I…
