fernvale wedding shower...

 my son ian and his girlfriend sam,
 have moved
 out to the country....
 to a cute old farmhouse on 5 acres.

 last weekend,
 i helped sam decorate her carport area,
 for a casual wedding shower.

 they live in an area called

fernvale
....the mountain behind their house is covered up with ferns....

so i had to include a shot of this gorgeous spider web, hovering over some ferns,
 like a little space ship.

i decorated the area using my

 vintage tablecloths, enamelware pitchers and ball jars.

all of the flowers were cut from the property
 and arranged willy-nilly
(that is fun to say, "willy-nilly")....

the less contrived,

 the more casual and fun,
for this little farmhouse....




i am still getting used to this new blogging format...ug.... so please bare with me as i figger it all out!

we are having an incredible spring here in , tennessee!!!

   there are flowers bloomin everywhere i look! 

 my new dawn rose is blooming on the back deck...

 and i have been snapping away...

trying to capture its glory, forever in my photos...

will share soon!

the little birdies continue to

"get their chirp on"....

merrily singing all day long....

one poor little baby bird fell out of its nest ,

that is perched over my front porch...

so i scooped him up, ever so carefully, and placed him back in the nest...

i was so sure that he must have been injured, after such a long fall, but when he was back safely in his nest,

 he immediately opened his tiny beak,

 to beg for food!

i think that was a good sign indeed!

i have been checking everyday to see if the mama bird has kicked him out of the nest,

 but so far, so good...

of course, i realize a neighbor kitty cat could have come by and had him for a snack...

that's nature...

but i like to think, that i helped best i could....
