Here we go!

This morning I wandered, yet again, into the Pinterest depths, futilely trying to focus on something or other.  What was it I was looking for?  I don't recall after taking one dizzying and intoxicating detour after another.  I  delved deeply into the photographs and still deeper into their gorgeous source blogs.

Oh!  The photos!  Those blogs are filled with transformative photographs.  How do they transform mundane objects into Beauty's Ideal?  It's simply incredible.  If only the camera could make me look as beautiful as that stand mixer's beaters!       http://julieskarwecki.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/dsc_0213.jpg

So why, I ask, am I inspired to blog when I should be feeling intimidated?  The standard set by bloggers stories above my own ability (seriously - have you seen my photos???  Exactly!)

Here's why:  I've got a long list of goals for spring & summer 2012.  It's so long, it's scary!  I need you to hold me accountable.

Project 1:  Transform the mound system into a beautiful midwestern prairie.  Here's the stage 2 "before" pic.  I've already  spent the last year and a half trying to kill all the vegetation.

I guess it's time to sign off.  I've got to go out and mow off those little flower heads before the weeds drop more seed onto the soil!

Thanks for stopping by!
