A blog about all things fabulous wouldn’t be complete without addressing those times when you feel anything BUT fabulous. I am definitely having one of those days. The culprit?
Perhaps it is the gaping hole in my basement window caused by a massive windstorm. Naturally it’s the window that faces the street so the neighbors (and any potential criminals) can enjoy it as well.
Please note the wicker pumpkin, Target clearance tag still intact, waiting patiently on the top shelf for its starring role in my fall decor. And kindly disregard the filthiness of the surrounding window. Maybe it shattered in protest.
Or it could be how disastrous my attempt at window box gardening is proving to be. Lush and flowing it is not.
The overflowing mess in the corner of my bedroom certainly doesn’t help.
At least I am blocking the view from the neighbors with the heinous powder blue mini blinds we inherited from the previous owners TWO YEARS AGO (I’m on the hunt for white roman shades…..)
Speaking of the view, could it be more lovely than this?
No, this isn’t the dump. It’s my backyard, mid-renovation (more to come…)
And finally, yet another way this yard betrays me. My peony bush, the flower I love more than any other, REFUSES to bloom. This is its second season post transplant and, despite looking more lush and healthy than ever before, not a bud in sight the entire month of May.
Just keepin’ it real, people.
Love,
Oh thanks so sharing the not-so-lovely. We ALL have those stories in pictures to tell. AND do not lose heart!! I planted a peony bush that took a couple of years to bloom. There is hope!! Oh the joys of home-owning…
I meant thanks so MUCH for sharing…
