pops of color

I've been spending a lot of time in the Oasis lately.  When I was transplanting my aloe last week I noticed how filthy (as if I had not seen this for... ever) the glass on the tables were.  So after the aloe move I got out the cleaner and polished them up.  While doing this, it hit me that hey... stick some color under there.  So I popped in the house and got an old handkerchief and an old cloth napkin.  I love the pops of color in this place. 

 

Days of our Day Care: Fall

Fall has fallen in the main playroom at the day care.  I decided to take down the dinosaur bulletin board painting and replace it with a scene more fitting for Fall.  It is plainly water color on freezer paper.  I also printed leaf templates for the kids to color.  They used crayons and scribbled all over the paper but when the leaves are cut out they have vibrant colors of autumn on each leaf.  So, we strung them and hung them from the ceiling. 

 

Next we will start working on our scarecrow and outside display.  I already have the pumpkins for that one and last week we gathered the cornstalks leftover in our garden.  I like when they have a hand in helping, especially in the garden.  Which was totally mowed down yesterday.  Except for the zinnias which my husband so lovingly did not cut down.  It's nice to have someone who understands what I love.
