I love my windchimes

I just love the sound of my windchimes.

I have them hanging inside our enclosed front porch so they don’t make a lot of sound unless there’s a good breeze coming in the window that they hang in front of, but it’s nice to hear them chime every now and then.

Sometimes I’ll walk up to them and make them make their musical sound by swinging the dangling pendant on my own.

Do you have windchimes? Do you like them or does the sound drive you nuts?

Beautiful decorative and wrought iron wall decor for your home

by Tricia

I love picking out decor for my home.

You’ve probably figured that out all ready with my talk of visiting art shows, my love of pottery and all my posts about our home renovations and my eagerness for the work to be done so I can finally finish decorating and accessorizing my living room and dining room.

Actually after my posts and photos about the metal artwork artists that I saw at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition it probably wouldn’t surprise you to discover that I also have an interest in wrought iron wall decor.

I was recently introduced to the Wall Decor and Home Accents website. This online store has a lovely selection of decorative wall decor and wrought iron wall decor.

Along with lovely wall art, like the piece that I’ve included above, you’ll find a selection of candle wall scones, beautiful wall mirrors, architectural pieces, wall clocks and wrought iron wall decor in a variety of shapes and sizes.

I enjoy wrought iron wall decor because, although it can have quite an intricate design, it seems so simple. It’s amazing how a piece can make a bland wall look spectacular.

Just like many of their wrought iron wall decor and wall art pieces this piece is on sale right now. It’s only $39.95. I think that’s a reasonable price for a quality piece of wall art.

Visit the site yourself and see if you can find a piece of wall art that will enhance the look of one of your rooms.

My tomatoes are so behind!

by Tricia

I don’t think I’m going to have many or possibly any tomatoes this year. I planted them way too late!

Normally I either grow tomatoes from seed – beginning in March, or I purchase tomato plants in May and plant them by the end of that month or in early June. This year I didn’t start any tomatoes from seed and I didn’t buy any plants until the end of June or possibly even the beginning of July.

July in this area wasn’t all that warm. I’m certain the temperatures were below normal. So the tomatoes that I planted didn’t get off to a very good start. August was very warm for the most part, in fact we had several heat waves and that might not have been good for my tomatoes either.

My tomato plants do have small green tomatoes on them, but I don’t think they’ll grow big enough to ripen before it begins to get too cool at night.

I think what I might do is bring the containers that I’m growing some of my tomatoes in, into the enclosed back porch. I probably won’t have to do that for two or three weeks, but when I do the tomatoes will be in a nice warm sunny room. Actually the back porch can get quite hot with the sun shining directly on it for a good portion of the day.

Have you ever brought tomatoes indoors to finish growing and ripening when they were behind at the end of the season?

I figure it can’t hurt to try anyway.
