Holy Cow, I just came off a two and a half day migraine and I am not sorry to see it go! I haven't had one in forever, so it kind of took me by surprise. I kind of came alive again tonight and I actually thought it was Friday. Really! I so appreciate not having them as a part of my life again. For me, having a hysterectomy took them away. I didn't even know that would be a benefit.
I have to say I have become a putterer...You know the kind of puttering that leaves a thing half done here, a 1/4 of the way done here but nothing really done. I like that word "puttering". I just hope it doesn't become a habit because then all the crap that I have gotten at garage sales turns into a word that isn't so comforting...hoarding! Ha Ha! I use everything I get. Just ask the kids who sometimes can't figure out why I am paying a 1.00 for a bowling ball and strutting around like I won a prize. Ok, so what I was I doing before the migraine? Well I pretty much just told you...
I did finish and mail a card for my dad for Father's Day.
It is almost a kind of dark humor but I think it will go right over his head and he will laugh. I, ahem, have realized I am the black sheep of the family. I also made him an exploding photo box. The inside of the box is pictures of the two of us as I grew up and I didn't take pictures but here is the outside.
I had found some old frames at a yard sale for fifty cents a piece and I had some wooden letters. Liv painted them green and I painted them with a sealer and now they are on my back fence.
They are right in front of my "straw Bale " garden which is amazing. I am taking before and afters but this is the way I will grow vegetables from now on. On Pinterest I saw the "Grow" idea with the frames and then I saw another Pin that had "damn it" in letters beneath it. It made me laugh. I have a green thumb though and I don't want to make my plants mad so it just says grow.
Another super yard sale find is these two big chickens. Well really one hen and one rooster. They are pretty good sized and all made of beans, corn, sunflowers and stuff. Someone cut out a plywood back in the shape and then spent gosh knows how many hours gluing this stuff on. I saw potential, but the colors are pretty worn out. Here is a picture of the two of them. I have painted the hen who was pretty dismal and this is the before of the Rooster who has since been done.
They are going to go on the fence too by the chickens. The rooster I did with some nice bright rooster colors. He looks really good lying on the dining room floor. Where I left him. When I got a migraine.
Happy puttering. xoxoxomelinda

Omg....I love those frames! What a great idea!
The frames for the garden are brilliant, hadn't thought to use them like that and your cockerels are wonderful, love the exploding box for your Dad, the hessian flower is fabulous and the card made me think you were an only child for a while then it sort of sunk in... yep, getting slow in my old age!! Thanks so much for visiting me, Annette
so you still got lot done even bw puttering and your horrid migraine...love the grow frames :)
This was my first year without daddy for Father's Day and it seemed surreal.....I love the exploding photo box, amazing!
You are sounding really good! I am so glad to hear your migraines are scarce -- they are such a pain!
