Naming Things

IMG_8260

I love to name things as you know.


’Namely’

the little house- a small house in our backyard

hauler 2- my Tahoe (not to be confused with Hauler 1)

the Nap Room- our front study that I re-did last fall

la brecha- our side yard.


And so in planning for spring,

I am going to christen more things that I love.

I will be re-working the limestone

patio area surrounding the little house.


It needs a suitable name.


This is a favorite piece back there.

P1000075

This spring I will be using

cobalt blue and yellow to add more to this garden area.


These are all things I have on hand.

Except for the birdcage.

Once again, my husband waited patiently in the truck,

while I explored.

Have a great week-

I am on a vuelta ( a round) visiting daughters and grandsons.


Tonight when I asked my youngest grandson what he had for lunch at

pre-school today,

he said,


”Basdetti.”

I think that calls for a new Ranch Recipe.

Patricia @ 9th and Denver said...

We often have 'basdetti' ourselves.

I'm told it's YUMMIE!

I must say the more I read your writing... the more I think I've found my sister I've never had...
I LOVE NAMING THINGS... and any kid I like-- gets a nick-name. That's just automatic.

I've often thought of name our home-- but now that we've lived here 16 years, it's kind of a moot point, don't you think? I just call it HOME.

-- love to read your posts, Pat

Beautiful colors for your re-do! Can't wait to see it all!

Enjoy your visits with the family! "Basdetti" sounds yummy to me:)

BIG HUGS!

Oh Laura, "Basdetti", that is just too cute! How fun to be traveling and making the rounds! Enjoy every minute. Love all of your fun names for your treasures! I've always been crazy about yellow and blue together, truly brilliant colors!

Hugs,
Nancy

How about naming it...... Blue Balls. That way in Winter you can chuckle at it.

I give things around the house names too. Curiously, they all have the same first name...Dammit.
You must share your recipe for basdetti soon! Remember...yours...not the schoolhouse version...unless it's old school.

Don't you love the little names children give things? So sweet.

Love the birdhouse! I sold 5 this month at my shop. I guess we all are a little ready for Sprng. Looking forward to the rush at early morning Saturday yard sales. Yey!

Honey at 2805 said...

Yes, I name things too, and I love basdetti! Thanks for sharing at Potpourri Friday!

No gardening going on here. Just "white" everywhere! Fun stuff in your yard!
