"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[apteryx]

Thanks, my yard really is quite a mess this spring with the building. Thank goodness for close up photos

Anyone have any experience with painting "shabby chic"??? Kind of like this idea? http://www.made4aking.com/how-to-paint-shabby-chic/

I am wanting to re do the front door that is salvaged in this way and then seal it. If anyone has any tips if they have done this type of thing I would love to hear them!

This is the door......

I know that this isn't answering your question, but that is an awesome door!

I have always liked them and now I am glad that my FIL keeps all kinds of stuff! Lol! It was a set of indoor double doors. So I will have to seal it really well. The glass is bumpy all over and is more yellow/gold than the picture shows.

Wow! Lucky you. That is a very cool door. Can't just buy stuff that cool.

Just beautiful....

I can't believe how fast this spring is already moving. My husband loves Dutch Irises and already they are on their last bloom We do have 3 other iris types coming out though, so we will enjoy them. I hope you all are getting to enjoy the beautiful flowers that are out everywhere!!! Some of the flowers from our yard the last week or so. Dutch Iris Star of David Tradescantia.....it grows like a weed here I don't even know what these "weed" yellow flowers are called. But my whole front yard was full of them before we mowed. I love how shiny they are like they are coated with shellac.

TGIF La-yers! Love the door idea Lemon.

Today our little white cat Lacie is 13 yrs old - we'll have shrimp for supper tonight so she can have a special birthday treat.

I am sad to report that the twins, Malcolm & Winnie - our black retired show dog Cockers both had surgery last week to remove lumps & bumps - they will be 10 in May & are starting to get the "old dog" problems.
Malcolm's warts were benign but our precious little Winnie's tumour was soft tissue sarcoma, level II. She also has another lump which has come up not far from the one that was removed, but I think that one may be a simple lipoma as it is not 'hard' to the touch like the cancerous tumour was. Unfortunately, I've had a lot of experience w/malignant tumours in dogs. I take them this evening to get their stitches out & discuss options for removal of the 2nd tumour in Winnie. I am just heartbroken about this. On a "trying to be positive" note, surgical removal of soft tissue sarcomas is the preferred treatment & does tend to extend the life of the dog on the average almost 4 more years. So we can hope. And pray.

I am so glad I cut back on my flock & rehomed the peas - it was the right decision for me to make. My remaining hens are laying up a storm & so plenty of eggs to share w/family and friends and donate to Manna House.

Put up a batch of strawberry jam w/organic strawberries from Inglewood last night -- it is sooo good! Might have to put up one more batch tomorrow.....they are having Spring Fling & will have an open pig roast, many vendors and hopefully more strawberries!

x 2!! I'll ask our painter. I would thing you would need to sand it down, then use a fine grit to smooth. Then, start applying the stain, allow to dry. Then apply the coats of sealer/varnish. Will the door get direct sun when it's where you are going to put it? Have you considered painting it?

So sorry to hear of Winnie's troubles. Be optimistic. There are so many treatment options, as well as RX that aren't too expensive. Finger's crossed!!
Thoughts and prayers your way.

LOVE my Polish!!! They are actually really good layers too. Another favorite ( looks AND personality) is my Buff Brahma (Irish). She is so sweet and gentle...pretty too. All mine are different breeds, and I don't have a single one I don't like. Those are two standouts though. Good luck!
