Bletchley Circle

Did you watch this last night on PBS?

DVD available from www.amazon.com on May 14, 2013

The first part came on last night.

Hopefully, the second part will be on next Sunday night.

Four women who worked as code breakers at Bletchley Park during WWII have taken up civilian lives. Susan, has collated data about a series of murders. She tries to convince Scotland Yard she knows where another body is, but they are unable to locate it and dismiss her. She turns to her three friends and they work out where the next victim will be taken, find the body, then decide they are the only ones who can track down the killer.

This show is so awesomely good.

I know I was born in the wrong era.

The clothes, the effort it took to survive, no political correctness,

just real people.

The old train travel.

Another time, another place.

Have a great week,

Dorothy and Ms.Wilma



Vegetable Gardening

Are you planting a vegetable garden this year?

We have English peas and potatoes up.

Turnip greens growing.

My chickens are laying like crazy.

The amaryllis' are in full bloom.

Spring has sprung at our house!

Wilma and I have been very busy in the garden.

Sneak peek at some of our "vintage craft supply swap" that went out this week.

Cute papers found on eBay.

Let not your heart be troubled,

Have a great week-end and

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY

Devil in a Blue Dress

How about a Ms. Priss in a yellow tutu?

I know I posted yesterday, but you-know-who got a new dress in the mail yesterday and she couldn't wait to show it off.

Have you ever seen anything so prissy?

She's actually smiling in this one!

"Take it off, quick, mom, I think I saw a cat!"

(One of my grown sons says he is going to have to make a grand-baby, this is getting out of hand)

One can only wish!! :-)

Have a Happy Tuesday!

Love from Dorothy and Ms.Wilma



Tomatoes Anyone?

So, my hubby is retired, home alone, and bored.

What does he do?

Throws up a hothouse out of scraps he finds around the barn.

He keeps telling me to go and look at his little plants growing.

I finally got the chance to go look at his hothouse.

Every seed he planted has come up!

He even rooted roses.

Oxalis flowers coming up on the floor.

He also planted long rows of sunflowers around the yard, I can't wait to see them blooming.

There must be 500 tomato plants growing in here!

Dill, squash, watermelons.

I know what Wilma and I will be doing this summer...

We'll be filling the old pie safe up with jars of tomatoes!

I saw this on Pinterest, don't know who to credit it to.

But this is the next fridge I want.

I have mothers old Philco in the barn, it still works.

My son says they cost a fortune to get restored and painted, I don't know.

(I know I don't have a fortune, though!)

Hope you are having a wonderful day,

Oh, I'm working on my stash swap box, 

FUN!!

Hugs from me and Ms.Wilma 



Gathering the Goods

Have you started gathering your "stash swap" goodies yet?

Which is the most fun, decorating the box or stuffing the "stash"?

So many papers to choose from.....

This is going to be a wonderfully fun swap, can't you tell?

Have a Happy Monday,

Walk in the sunshine

Sing a little sunshine song.....

Dog Day In The Park with Huey

Dog Day In the Park with grand-dog Huey P. Long and a little Fats Domino in the background at New Orleans today.

Old Books and New

I love children's books.

Especially the older ones.

They have the sweetest pictures and hold the best memories.

Times were better, I still believe.

They don't make them like this anymore.

I have my favorites now, too.

Will Hamish ever find true love?

If you haven't read this series, you're in for a treat.

Flavia de Luce is adorable.

Another good British mystery series.

I jumped for joy when I saw I was partnered up with my friend, Shirley, from Zetta's Aprons

for the next swap!!

Wilma sends her love, she's too busy to talk, her best friend Huey P. Long is staying with her this week.

(Poor Huey)

He can only stand so much sugar from Wilma!

Have a Blessed Week,

Dorothy
