OUR VERY OWN "WEATHER VANE"

Good morning to you all!

We sure have been having some crazy weather in Texas and today I just had to share with you some cuteness! :)

Meet little Angel, our very own "weather vane".
When you see that look on her face, then you know we have a storm coming. LOL 
Never fails!

You see, Angel dos NOT like storms. she is actually terrified of them and it is so crazy how she can sense it coming even before it starts getting cloudy. But sure enough, ten or fifteen minutes later of getting "the look", this is the view of the sky outside our home.

First thing she does is to run for the pantry, but if the pantry door happens to be closed, this is where you will find her. 

And sure enough, in a very short time, it will start pouring rain.
This was our weather yesterday evening.

My poor baby will sit under the desk for as long as it takes, but she won't get out until the storm pass.
She gets so scared that you can even hear her little teeth chattering from the shaking, so all we can do is to "join" her under the desk and stay with her until the storm passes. :)

So that is how we know around here bad weather is on our way! LOL And the result of all this rain is just awful. 
Our humidity levels are to the moon today and it is so very, very hot.
This is what we woke up to. No, it is not dirt on the doors and windows, just terrible humidity. 
You couldn't even see outside the windows.

Hope the sun is shinning for you all!
Tuesdays at Our Home link party is still live and going strong.
You can find it here.

Enjoy your day!

TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME #14

Hi, everyone!

I hope you are having a great Monday and that your weekend was fabulous!

Mondays, are hard for me, too many chores after "slacking" all weekend. :)  Well, I managed to get the grocery shopping done Saturday morning and we also gave our very large front yard a good cleaning and lots of attention on Sunday, so it was not a complete relaxing weekend.

And we get extra "brownie" points for doing all this with the high temperatures we are having. 

Boy, it is hot and humid in Texas!

After all this "hard work", we made time for a little family lunch Sunday afternoon. Nothing like some good Texas barbecue after a long hot morning of doing yard work. Yum! And a little nap afterwards! LOL

SO FAR THIS YEAR

Hello, there!

I hope everyone is having a good week.

Mine has been so busy that I didn't even get to do a post this week, just barely enough time to host my weekly party, which I enjoy so much every week! Thank you all for your continued support!

And I apologize for my lack of posting.

It is hard to believe is already June and sometimes I feel like the months are going by so fast, we don't really have accomplished much when it comes to our home upgrade goals, so I thought it would be fun to take a look back at everything we have done in our home so far this year.

After the holidays, I started the year trying to organize our home and give each room a really deep cleaning.

I did start with all the bedrooms and closets and gave the master bathroom a little bit of a new look.

Our front porch was so empty after we took the Christmas decor down, I decided to dress it up a little bit for Winter.

I also worked on our kitchen.

I made a new burlap runner for the island and changed the vignette.

And spent many hours cleaning and organizing our pantry.

Wow! That was a lot of work!

I sanded and repainted a small cabinet we had for many years and used it to add more storage space in our laundry room. The small baskets have proved to be very handy!

We changed the look of our hallway niche by installing tile and glass shelves.

Gave my storage closet a very needed cleaning and organized all my pillows and decor items.

Made a few wreaths and pillows.

Like I needed more, right? :)

And then the construction of my craft room started.

We worked on this room for many weeks, since everything in it was homemade and every decor item re-purposed.

And while this was happening, I decorated the kitchen and front porch for Spring and gave the back porch a good cleaning after the winter months.

And, in between all these chores, I made a few crafts.

Now, the rest of the year, we will be concentrating on finishing all the upgrades to my husband's workshop and building the outdoor space we always wanted in our backyard. It is going to take a while, since we "insist" on doing everything ourselves, LOL, but that is the whole fun!

I will be back with the features from this weeks party.

What a great turnout we had. You all are the best!

See you soon!
