Where O Where Has Carla Rae Been?

Yes I have been absent from my blog. Please forgive me but IT'S SUMMER. That for me means outdoors and yard time and pool time. So please don't hate me when I forget to post all the time.  Sometimes I just can't fit everything into the day. And when it is nice outside I just can't bear to spend the day indoors on the computer. So to make up here are some more of my garden pictures for now.

Rescued birdbath and reused statue and rocks.

Missed Me? New Garden Pictures

Been busy, but here are a few new garden pictures for all my friends. Have a great week. Garden till you drop and enjoy the sunshine.

Summer Daze & Swimming Pool

It's summer all right. HOT. I have been doing my best the past few days to open our pool but it's a real big job. I am about to have to go shopping instead. Ha Ha.  We went right from spring on into hot summer time and even though I like that I am not into the sweating. Pool chemicals cost a small fortune too. I just can't bear to give the pool up. We have had it since my kids were small and now all but the smallest grandbaby has learned to swim in it. Plus I still really enjoy it too. OK...I will quit complaining about it to everybody and just be thankful we have it.

But it's a JOB. A BIG job.

New Handmade Garden Solar Lights

I have been working on a few new additions for my etsy shop, and here are a few preview pics. I make these from recycled glassware and solar lights like everybody has in their yards. I like the look of the unusual glass sculpture in my yard. Sometimes I make them 2 feet tall or more. Plus when they glow at night the glass reflects the light. Pretty.
