Olive Love






Someday, we'll have olive trees on our property.
There are several across the street.
I wonder how difficult they are to propagate.
Don't you think they're beautiful?
Also a little messy.
I can live with that.

Around The House

I love looking at fabulous homes
by famous designers and architects from
around the world, but....at the end of the day,
this is where I want to be.
I feel so fortunate to live in our little 1956 rental home
with all of our thrift store finds.
Someday we will build our dream home,
until then, this is where we'll stay.
