Two Faces of Beautiful

Welcome to My Place to Yours! I'm glad you stopped by for a quick celebration of Metamorphosis Monday.   This was My Place four months ago ...   And this is My Place today ...   The dogwoods are in full bloom here in East Tennessee ... and they're beautiful against the blue sky. Yes, it was really that blue. These are unedited pics!   We have five of these gorgeous trees in our yard.   All of them have white flowers.   Their lace-like appearance in the landscape is one of my favorite things about Springtime.<   Do you have dogwoods where you live? Are they white like mine -- or pink?   Leave a comment and tell me!   I hope you have a wonderful week!   I'm ... Keep Reading...

Another Festival of Tables

Unfortunately, I don't remember what most of the table hostesses named their tables, so I'm just going to give ... Keep Reading...

Blooming Bricks and Mortar

Welcome to My Place to Yours ... and another celebration of Metamorphosis Monday   What a beautiful, but windy, weekend we had here in East Tennessee! It was a productive one at My Place, but unfortunately much of my time was spent indoors working on taxes -- but they're finished! Renaissance Man, on the other hand, spent time where he most prefers it -- outside working in the yard. Because he's a traveling man (as I told you HERE), he is always grateful for time to do that.   If you've read much of this blog, you know that we live in a house that is over 100 years old.  Almost five years ago -- after months of renovation -- we moved in and continued the work.  Eventually we began to tackle the yard. A lot has been done, but ... Keep Reading...
