A Note From Tina • №30

Well hello there! 👋 How's everyone doing today? Doing good I hope! It's monthly newsletter time, so get comfy and enjoy! 




This & That



So, how was everyone's Easter? 
I realized the other day that I haven't finished all my playlist on Spotify!  With everything we've been trying to finish, it just isn't high on the to-do list.  Sorry 
  • Painting and wallpaper in bedroom #4 and bathroom #3 is moving slowly!
  • Painting the living/family room is slowly coming along.
  • My garden is planted 
Finally the pollen has subsided enough to spring clean, to include opening up the windows to air the house out. 

We celebrated a birthday, youngest son turned 36, and our daughter and son-in-laws anniversary this month! 

DH and I went to the Liberty Antiques Festival and found several goodies while there! 
 GARDEN UPDATE
 I made a couple of changes to the garden and other plants. I went with: 
  • 2 cucumber plants 
  • 1 cherry tomatoe
  • 1 Basil
  •  marigolds (from seed)
  • 1 strawberry
  • 6 dahlias (bulbs)
  •  zinnias (from seed)
  •  3 clematis vines
  • 1 lavender
  • 1 rosemary
  • 1 oregano
  • chamomile (from seed) 




Around The Web


  • Ever thought of naming your house?  Whether you have or haven't check out this post  I actually have 2 names for our home. Over the past 5+ years I have thought about using Tarenly (which are a combination of letters from our first and last name) House instead of my blog name, but I change my mind once I remember how much stuff has to be changed!
