Hey there everyone! I miss you guys! I really do lately. I feel like a part of me has been left behind here. Although, I am not gone, and still very much present. I am just presently over at Home pressure cooking more often.
I have a whole new line of goods coming very soon for the Pressure cooker. That has been an exciting new journey for me.
I just wanted you all to know, I truly do miss being here more often. When I do have some things to share I will always come over here and share them with you when something new arises. This blog here will always be my baby!
How about a little stroll outdoors for now?
Everything is starting to bloom and green up nicely here in the Carolina’s. My allergies are really acting up though.
A few years ago I shared a post our low maintenance gardens. You can read all about that. Nothing has changed and year after year the same things bloom, and grow even more. The only addition I typically do is some container gardening and I tend to stick with petunias. I did buy something new this year for our window boxes that said full sun only. We shall see how long those last.
This here rooster, whom I named Mr. Doo-right was a recent birthday present. What a special surprise that was from my friend Natalie.
He looks right at home.
If you happened to miss our colorful porch decor you can check that out while you are here.
Last year we had to remove some dead pine trees that were over here. It sure looks bare, but we had no choice. They would have eventually fallenl on our house.
Now my husband is struggling to keep the grass alive on this side. We planted Zoysia around 9 years ago and it is fully grown in. My husband is lawn obsessed HA!
The outdoor fireplace is a new addition. The other one we had out there for 10 years finally started going. The faux bricks were falling off and beyond repair. We did give it away though to a family who very much appreciated it. The fellow said he would repair it himself. So I am happy about that.
We had our first fire this past Friday evening. It was lovely.
Here is the link for this fireplace just in case you want to inquire.
Thanks for stopping over today.
We started on our kitchen mini makeover and it is coming along nicely.
I can’t wait until it is all finished.
If you are new here, welcome! I am also very excited to share my new stencil line with you.

April 17 at 7:37 pmYour front porch looks so nice – I like it!
Love your new fireplace and I am sure you will get a lot of use out of it. I have one also, but I never seem to use it – it’s just me.
Have a great week.
Hugs,

April 17 at 8:51 pmDebbie beautiful home , garden, and outdoor fireplace. Thank you for the mini tour. We live in the Pacific NW. We have been in our rambler 34 yrs. Behind our backyard was a serene pasture. The family sold the property after their Mom went to Heaven. So we will have homes (12) in their backyard. We have a fenced yard and we thought that was the property line. But we have 12 inches going South that is ours. Our backyard is fully landscaped. So we are waiting and hoping the Contractors will put a fence up on the property line so the homes have a fenced back yard. The homes will be 30 ft. tall. So we might have a narrow alley that will be part of our property between the new homes backyard fence and our property. So we are drawing out different ideas if we need to dress up that vacant space ; yet low maintenance without any plants. Thanks again for the tour.

April 17 at 9:11 pmHi, Debbie. Nice to hear from you again. I miss your posts here, too. I don’t really visit your other blog as I’m not very interested in cooking!
I liked seeing your beautiful, nicely landscaped home. Actually, I liked the rustic-looking shutters on your windows. I’ve been considering shutters for my bland little ranch and yours really appeal to me.
Hope to hear from you again soon!

April 17 at 9:17 pmYour home is beautiful on the inside and outside; nice landscaping and your splash of color with the petunias is ‘just right’. Hope your new ones are keepers for your future windowboxes too. I’m anxious to see what’s going above your stove (I think I’m going to be jealous). Thank you for the opportunity to win the ‘super pot’; I would be so very appreciative if I were to win.
Enjoy your beautiful weather; getting nice here in northern Ill.; love getting out in the sunshine and fresh air.

April 17 at 10:16 pmHello Debbie, I see almost all of your posts…..Enjoy all of them, especially the cooking with Mike. You have a very manicured lawn and flower beds……If I miss something I check your Timeline, since I don’t go on everyday as my husband had open heart surgery last month. He had an LVAD implant and I feel like a nurse now…..lol. I will always look for your posts…..

April 18 at 2:56 pmHi Debbie, the ponderosa looks fabulous. Joe is a lawn guy as well. Your landscape and fire pit area is simply beautiful. I can’t wait to plant my annuals next month. Michigan weather unpredictable. Miss all your posts, I’m still a fan!
Linda in Charlotte says
April 19 at 1:51 pmI miss you Debbie. I understand though, if the pressure cooking is successful. You do what you have to do and prioritize.

June 27 at 12:08 pmHi Debbie, your home is beautiful, love everything. I live in the foot of the mountain in North Carolina, I always wanted to put green plants near my front door but I am scared snakes will nest there. What do you think? Also my grandchildren never pay attention to anything so that’s where my problem comes in. Debbie you have a God Given Talent, just love everything. Have a great Day and Thanks.
debbiedoo's says
June 28 at 6:57 pmPaula, that is so kind of you. I really do not have a talent at all when it comes to gardening. I have not had any snake issues here. But I can’t speak of your neck of the woods.
