Spring has Sprung Quaint Walkabout Boulder City

Hi there! How are you! The wind finally stopped, and the past two days have been awesome outstanding, calm, just down right perfect! Perfect!

There is so very much to do in my quaint little Village just outside Las Vegas and Henderson Nevada, that I thought I would share a few things with you, so when you come to visit, you can plan your day of fun, rest, picnic at the parks, watching the big horn sheep and just relaxing and walking around! This is a great town for all of the above!

So here goes! This weekend is the Art Festival, Art of the Southwest, Saturday and Sunday. It will be gorgeous weather, and a great time will be had by all I am sure. I may walk a bit myself this weekend at our beautiful clean parks!  Here are some fun places to put on your calendar and plan a fun visit sometime soon!

Boulder City Chamber of Commerce, check out for lots of information, our town goings on and more! Darling businesses, fun places to see, Art, Crafts, Antiques, make a day, enjoy our parks and rec and attend some very very fun events to come. Also, there is not a bad place in town to eat!  It's all good! Trust me!

The Boulder City Community Gardens are beautiful this Spring. So many vegetables, Iris, and trees and various flowering plants are surprising me each time I visit, which is a few times a week! There are a couple of picnic tables there under the trees, so bring your sandwich and sit a while!

Boulder Dam Credit Union has vivid plantings around the building and it is breath taking, the purples, pinks and more.

We have a new soap company! Yes we do! I will be visiting them soon and will post some pictures! Boulder City Soap and Candle Company I cannot wait to visit them, they are open Fridays and Saturdays only. Handmade soaps and spa products, oh boy! Located in the older part of town just above our main city park, within walking distance! Beautiful walk.

The White Porch, is on Facebook, this is a gorgeous quaint little shop, Cholette is the shop owner, beauty shabby chic and farm style furnishing at very reasonable prices. Plan to stay a while in these three darling shops, there is a lot to see!

Aura Sutra, be sure to visit Tracy here at Aura Sutra, skin care, relaxation, Detox, Yoga, and so much more. Visit her website, make an appointment. She is a lovely lady and is also a blogger. You can find her and tons of information here.

All three of these darling little shops are in a row in our historic district of original old homes of BC, Colorado Street, again, a short walk up from our main city park. These three are a must visit when visiting. The Community Gardens are across the street, as well as the Monarch Way Station, Butterfly Park, stop by here for more information on our Parks and Rec here in BC.

So warning now, this is a long long post, with lots of pictures of my quaint little village, come take a walk with me, walkabout in Boulder City! Enjoy!

Tool Time around the ol Homestead!

Hi and good morning! Been working around the ol homestead, seeding the front lawn, sweeping up debris and more. With high winds here the past couple of days including today, note to self, do not clean up around the house, aka Spring clean, until May! ha ha

Trying my hand at what I laughingly call Tool Time. Hopefully did all the correct steps with Scott's to get my lawn back in shape. The poor thing, part shade part sun, weeds blow in from everywhere, what's a girl to do.

Anyway, fingers are crossed. Also editing every room! Is that Spring cleaning again? Ah huh! My beautiful craft table in the wearhouse is up for grabs, listed on Craigslist. I hope I can find some crafter, sewer, that will love to take it apart and run with it. My wearhouse is just too hot for this lady now. I prefer the small spare room with the AC!






 I might actually get some lemons this year! I covered, wrapped both trees when they started blooming with the bird netting, it is thin, just to hold the blooms on when the wind came up. I do see some little lemons that are starting, let's hope they remain? After the wind that woke me up at 2 a.m. I haven't got the heart to go look! If anyone has a better mouse trap, please comment! 
Wind wind go away, come another day!

 Iris and her friends are blooming here and there!








I will post some garden pictures soon. Love my phone photos just takes so long to download them! Hope you have a wonderful week! To quote my favourite line in "The Holiday" movie, "Don't blow away!"
