My Casa Bella

COME IN THE EVENING, OR COME IN THE MORNING;

COME WHEN YOU'RE LOOK'D FOR,

OR COME WITHOUT WARNING.

KISSES AND WELCOME YOU'LL FIND BEFORE YOU,

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME HERE

THE MORE I'LL ADORE YOU!

-Thomas Osbourne Davis



Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

Herb Bouquet

We're having gorgeous
weather today!
I wish summer could be
in the low 70's
all summer long.
It seems for the first time in
YEARS
I am minding the heat.
I NEVER thought
I'd say that.
Well this morning I picked
herbs.
Greek Oregano and English Thyme.
Oh they smell so good.
I decided to hang them
from my light
fixture above my sink
so I can smell them as they dry.
I planted French Thyme, Rosemary
and Basil.
This season I didn't plant as much
as I would of liked.
With the house for sale I didn't want
to invest too much into
my garden.
So we planted two types of tomatoes
and a zucchini plant.
A few flowers and all my containers.
So I'm still enjoying some
gardening,
I've just done it simply this time.
I never thought how
time consuming
it is to have the house
for sale.

  1. Don't you just LOVE the smell of fresh herbs!? The best thing ever. :) Temps in the 70s are my favourite as well... perfect! Not too hot, not too cool!
