My mother in law is quite a gardener.  I have proof..

I think this is a Mandvilla..

How would you like to sit here and read a book?

Isn’t this cute?

I wrote a whole blog about this front door one time..

(I have issues..)

Here’s #4 hanging out on the front porch.. don’t you

love the fern? I think she feeds them something to make

them grow that large..

When I grow up.. I want to be a gardener just like her.. or

maybe I can get #1 to do it

This is Rusty.  He’s not my cat.  I guess you could call him my

brother-in-law.  Ok.. he’s my mother-in-law’s cat.  He’s pretty

cute huh?  I was over at her house Sunday, and as usual, I love

to watch this cat.

I don’t know if this gives you an idea of how big he is.. but he’s HUGE.

I called his name.. and he gave me this look.  You’ll notice he didn’t really

even look at me.  He’s too cool for me.  I did sneak him some chicken during

dinner.. and he doesn’t even have the courtesy to acknowledge me!

When I reminded him about the chicken.. he gave me this look.

I think he’s giving me the stink eye!  Whatever Rusty… I know

you like me.. even if you don’t act like it.

My mother-in-law not only has cute, hunk-a-hunk o’ burnin’ love children (see The Man below)

But she also has incredible style. We were at her house this last weekend, and being the freak show I am.. I snapped a couple of photos. You see my mother-in-law has fabulous style. I love to go to her house and see what she’s added moved or changed. I’ve blogged about her house HERE and HERE before.

When I first met her, she had cows. She’s has put 90% of her cows in decorating time out, and only has a few up right now. I’m going to showcase those today.

I think this cow is so cool. I collect pigs.. and I would love to have him in pig form.

Do you remember Elsie and Elmer the spokes cows for Borden milk?

They used to have all kinds of Elise and Elmer items. I wonder if those are in decorating time out,

or if they didn’t make it through the Great Auction of 2007. My mother in law is like that. She will collect things

then just say, “It’s time to get rid of it” and sell it. (this is a skill I do not have)

See the cows on the brown transferware plate?

That guy doesn’t look anything like my father in law…

This doesn’t much look like my mother n law.. but a nice old print just the same.

I went to my mother-in-law’s house this weekend… and fell in love with her front door. Can you fall in love with a front door?

Do you love this hanging basket?

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen my front lawn.. but it doesn’t look like this.

I wish her son (The Man) had this kind of green thumb

Do you think she would EVER refer to her son as “The Man”? I’ll have to ask her that some day. I wonder what The Man’s two younger brothers would be called? But let’s get back to my love…

Here’s what I fell in love with…

OO–OH how I would like for my front porch to be this inviting..

This makes me sigh.. I’m in love with a front door, and I don’t care who knows.
