Smokey Eyes

I've been watching too many Jerseylicious episodes (but I do love that little Olivia!). Anyway, with my upcoming trip to New Orleans, I thought it would be a good time to 'experiment' with makeup. I know! Don't laugh! I'm going to attempt to do the smokey eye concept on the weeks I'm off from work. This way I won't embarrass myself looking like the Housewives TV reality princess wannbes. No offense to you REAL Jersey girls, you have the look down pat! I'm a big hair Texas gal with a Colorado o'naturale flair. Sad, but true... Wish me luck (and have a few laughs)!

Grapevines

Our vines are out of control!

The vines get too heavy for the trellises.

I wonder what we can do with all these grapes.

Before / After

Liebe gets lost in the backyard! It's time to do something about it...

We have not been doing regular yard work this summer. It's been too hot! This was the dog run fence before...


This is the dog run fence after!

The view from the birdhouse before...

...and now after!

View from under the plum tree before...

...and after!

Danny and I did lots of hard work today.
We treated ourselves to strawberry and blueberry parfaits.

IKEA

So...we got the new IKEA catalog in the mail.
Gave it to Tony. Liebe got ahold of it.

A River Runs Through It

I feel cooler just looking at this photo! The highway snakes along in tandem with the river. This was taken by my friend, Shirley, when we were visiting Estes Park. Very relaxing!
