Wow! The rain sure has been coming down around here quite a bit lately.
Today looks to be no exception. Just look how these puddles have started to form across my front yard.
My back deck looks like a shimmering sea,...of wood that is.
More puddles out back are creating mini ponds around the yard and are beckoning for a dip. I'd better keep my eye's closely on the girls lest they swim away even though they just arrived.
Even our big backyard pond is overflowing with rain water. Well, not really but we are having to pump it down almost daily. All this rain on a rare weekend off normally would have me swimming in misery. However, it made for several great days of catching up on projects and shopping.
And look at what has arrived to swim around in our ponds! This sweet little Mermaid was found at Ross on a lunch break last week.
One look at her and I knew she would be coming home with me. This beautiful little thing has been longing to go outside. I think she's settled down now though after meeting her new friend.
That's right! I actually caught another one!
Can you believe that I also found this gorgeous creature at Ross this weekend? Since it was so cold and rainy I decided to pop in to the other store that is closer to my home. Boy am I glad I did!
Isn't she just devine? I sure think so! There was also a third style that did not make it home...yet. LOL! I'm pretty sure it's going to be a mermaid kind of summer around here.
Oh my she has stolen my heart this lovely siren!
I've also been collecting pretty new ceramic pots to use around the pool this summer. It seems a bit early to be thinking of summer time decor but I have a feeling if I wait it will not be around. The way things are selling out I am sure I am not the only one who cannot wait for this winter to be over. You know me, I am dreaming of summer and of swimming with Mermaids. How about you? Are you ready for the a change in the seasons?
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Be sure and check out many more goodies at;
Rain or shine, I hope you a great day!
Oh, how I feel your pain! It seems that it has been raining here forever. Wish I had one of those darling mermaids to cheer me up, although, I do feel like a mermaid today - lol! Thanks for sharing!
