Oregon Coast Beauty

I can not, and will not take credit for this beautiful photograph. One of my daughter's friends took this perfect photograph and gave me permission to use it so I can feed my "missing Oregon" fixation. Arrgghh!!! WHY did I EVER leave this beautiful place? STUPIDITY... I WILL move back one day!!!

Garden Gate

Family project...

My hubby, father in law, and I had a blast building and decorating our garden gate yesterday. We love whimsical and "different" looking gates and can't wait to construct the one for our orchard.

This project was especially interesting, fun, and "do-able" for my elderly father in law (who lives with us). He was able to have "almost full" creative freedom placing the driftwood pieces. I say "almost full" creative freedom because my OCD husband had to give his input at times, lol.

The driftwood is from the beaches of Oregon. Hubby and I spent much time combing the beaches when we lived in Oregon (we REALLY MISS Oregon). YES... We moved the driftwood with us when we relocated to the east coast.

The heart shaped rock were also found on the Oregon coast and made the move as well. I love collecting and finding the heart shaped rocks while "hubby" loves finding unique pieces of driftwood. 

Fun day, all-in-all!!!
