Last night's sunset. 🥰 #latergram #sunset #sunsetandclouds #neighborhoodsunset #colorado #falliscoming

I'm always trying to bring home a fountain, make up plans for a wooden barrel water feature, or even so far as wishing for a koi pond. Every time, Jon, my husband, says no! The only reason I don't just bring home what I want is because he and I both know it will wind up on him to maintain said water feature. Cleaning out the gunk, dealing with a dead fish 😥, or winterizing will be his "deal" and he has no interest. Soooo until I can change his mind, I enjoy the water ditch that runs between us and our neighbors! Due to the ditch boss and local fire district burning out the ditch later than usual, the cat tails are much shorter this year. I'm hoping they return to their full glory next year. I miss them! Do you own any water features in/around your home? #waterfeature #husbandsaidno #waterditch #cattails #farmhousereno #Colorado

Fall is officially here and the trees are already giving it up! 🥰 Can't wait until the cattails start to turn. More importantly, we're thismuch closer to all the 🦟 dying off so I don't get eaten alive while trying to enjoy evenings outside! #fall #Colorado #cottonwood #cattails #mosquitos

The current guest bedroom is up next for the first interior project! Check out my stories for the info and plans. . We rarely have visitors, but it's nice to have. We mostly use it for when one of us is sick or I need to throw some piles of laundry on the bed. Ha! Just keeping it real folks. . Do you have a spare bedroom? Do you use it often?

We have friends coming to visit this long weekend and we're super excited for everyone to get here! I took off today through next Tuesday to have time for last minute to-do's, errands, grocery shopping, and relaxing before and after our friends visit. But right now, I'm enjoying a little down time! Fun facts: The wheat in the mason jar is from a field back in Kansas that is owned by my family of farmers. That same wheat was used as part of the decor in our wedding almost nine years ago. Jon made the blanket chest over 15 years ago in his high school woodworking class; the wood is walnut and rubbed with Danish oil. #homelife #diy #woodworking #heartland #whatsinthechest

Each year we go to the local garden center and pick up hanging baskets with the dark pink/red Superbells double calibracoa. I 💜 them! . This color variety can be aggressive and really bush out for baskets. We do push the light requirements though and sometimes we don't get as many blooms. With a wrap-around porch that faces to the north and east, we have shade to part-sun going for the space and it can be difficult, at least for me, to find something else that makes comparable bushy baskets. . Over the winter, which will be here to Colorado before ya know it, I'm making it a project to do a little research to see if there's something else that won't be picky in this spot sometimes. Although, these don't look half bad either! #blackthumbgardener #hewatersoritdies #diy #homereno #farmhouse #hangingbaskets
