    Beautiful girl Ann-Margaret! I am sorry I have been out of touch. Got back from our trip sick and had been sleeping it off for a couple of days. I am sure jet lag had something to do with it too. I have hit an art ‘wall’. Not sure why. Hoping visiting your lovely site inspires me :-). Have a wonderful day!ReplyCancel

Tuesdays with Tucker™ {The Westie} ~ A Stroll Through The Village of Providence in Huntsville, Alabama

I love cute neighborhoods, don’t you? Some of my favorites always include sidewalks, picket fences, flowers adding color to beautiful porches, and cozy spots that look just perfect for lemonade socials. The Village of Providence in Huntsville, Alabama is one of these pretty spots! When we first moved to Huntsville {for those of you that...

  • Hi Tucker,

    What a lovely town with great houses and flowers. I love those front porches too – A little sweet tea and a good book – ohhh!

    CheersReplyCancel

    WOW, how gorgeous are these gardens. So lush and full of color, we need more of that around here. Sadly we can barely keep up with our yard work. I’m ready to move and have a smaller yard, less maintance is what I need.

    These would be nice to see on a walk, love the story you shared. My hubby has his garden and he loves to talk to people about it and to show them and to share the veggies when they come in.

    Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • Well I sure enjoyed the stroll through the neighborhood! My Mom has gone to Huntsville many times for her work with the Army, but I’ve never been. What a charming community – like out of a storybook. Having lived in VA, you know we don’t have neighborhoods up here quite like those!! Just love the white picket fences and the flowers. And what a heart-warming story about your Mom and her new friends. It all starts with a smile! 🙂ReplyCancel

Big hugs and thanks so much for stopping by!!! 🙂ReplyCancel

    Hello there, just found your blog and LOVE LOVE this post!! What a cute/sassy girl you made and that ice cream is yummy! I really enjoyed the sentiments you wrote on this piece, this is so true and I forget that all the time. Beautiful job!!

    I just bought the same paints and have been playing with them today, the colors are so fun!!

    P.S. Taking sunset pictures is my favorite thing to do also, just ordered some for my Project Life album. Seeing a gorgeous sunset on Sunday evenings is the perfect way to end the day!!

    Thanks for the nice visit here, will have to come back and see more!!ReplyCancel

      Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Dawn!! I’m so happy that you found my blog and enjoyed this post. I am always referring back to some of my favorite quotes and inspiration because it is so good to keep the “reminders” flowing!! Definitely helps me out!! 🙂 Do you know the name of those paints we have…you are talking about the watercolor palette, correct? I think I got mine at Hobby Lobby and wanted to tell a friend the name of them but don’t see a name on it anywhere. Just wondering if you remember. So happy you enjoyed the sunset pics, too! Oh, how I love beautiful sunsets!! Hope you’ll stop by for another visit…so happy to “meet” you! I’m off to visit your blog today!! Hugs!!ReplyCancel

      Thank you so much for your visit, Carmen!! So happy to have you!! Many thanks for your sweet words…that phrase just came to me one morning, and I thought…”Oh, yes, just what I need to do when I feel overwhelmed!”. 🙂 Yes, scanning can be a bit frustrating at times, for sure…always feel like it is a bit of a work in progress. 🙂ReplyCancel
