Good Morning Monday! A wonderful sunny dry day! With coffee in hand I am remembering this beauty from just this past October 2019. Clematis vine purple that I have had for just years.

Every year she looks dead, I cut her back, and then, usually around March early Spring, she will yet again pop those beautiful leaves and the most beautiful deep purple flowers out just for me! The cell camers does not do justice to the color at all, stunning! What a surprise! I love her!
Currently, she is covered because of the cold 31 deg temps we have in the evenings.

Below we take the next journey post from the blog! Have a wonderful day and start to your week!

homekeeping handbook Martha does it again!

ok, it's not like I haven't been keeping house and home for, lets say, a ton of years, but this book by Martha is just too good not to have around for reference.

Bravo Martha! Another great one! Tons of info, fabulous tips, not to mention just gorgeous pictures.  It is a must have for sure, check it out at the local library first to make sure. It runs about $28 or so, well worth it.

a whopping 744 pages, Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook, The Essential Guide

to Caring for Everything in your Home, 2006 covers all aspects of homekeeping. 

this would, of course, be a great book or gift for a newlywed or that "seasoned homemaker" like
me!
