Simply put, it is a project or challenge that I give myself the month to complete. Sometimes I will do 2-3 projects. This summer I have been doing some simple painting projects that I can do outdoors. </div><div><br /></div><div>For August, it was this barn wood bench on my front porch. I bought it about 15 years ago from (off all places) at our local Ace Hardware store! It was built from old barn wood by someone who knew the owner of the hardware store. It was the end of the season and they had marked it down to a really low price so we loaded it up on the spot! </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNR_YuDWYFkOYBWeOHu0JqUTVDcXszYomCIWqPPyLV-XRRM_cq_iEue6Ei_bi0V9xmF3lCX0d3aPIjL2EY0E6OFKDcxsSzNO_gBx16NXSWKBjnI8wEvg3ybZlUeU1mvpnFVtcCL7iHwGM/s2048/IMG_0637.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNR_YuDWYFkOYBWeOHu0JqUTVDcXszYomCIWqPPyLV-XRRM_cq_iEue6Ei_bi0V9xmF3lCX0d3aPIjL2EY0E6OFKDcxsSzNO_gBx16NXSWKBjnI8wEvg3ybZlUeU1mvpnFVtcCL7iHwGM/w480-h640/IMG_0637.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I haven't ever really used it for a potting bench since I do that on the back patio, but I like to collect old watering cans and I keep a few of my gardening tools for the front yard as well fertilizer for my potted plants there.

Simply put, it is a project or challenge that I give myself the month to complete. Sometimes I will do 2-3 projects. This summer I have been doing some simple painting projects that I can do outdoors. </div><div><br /></div><div>For July, it was this beat up bakers rack I picked up at a garage sale last summer. I have been putting off doing anything with it because I had no idea what color to paint it. Always looking for inspiration, I stumbled on a post in a group on facebook that used the color Ink Blue on a similar rack and fell in love with the color. </div><div><br /></div><div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifQR3LDjeo7GKawbjFW_Xq8BkfxB_CBiNtEWSVt5pPLZKcGdN7itDhx9u_lF_6YL_CmTzkxGjQqzI37fxzw5CmkSYLtnK6yEpiqIgstoBnlh6od7TaYwZtCiR0msBONBnuECWXiCOYOqI/s1821/IMG_0568.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1821" data-original-width="974" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifQR3LDjeo7GKawbjFW_Xq8BkfxB_CBiNtEWSVt5pPLZKcGdN7itDhx9u_lF_6YL_CmTzkxGjQqzI37fxzw5CmkSYLtnK6yEpiqIgstoBnlh6od7TaYwZtCiR0msBONBnuECWXiCOYOqI/w342-h640/IMG_0568.JPG" width="342" /></a></div><br /></blockquote><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Easy to find Painters Touch spray paint.

So many of us left to use facebook and I have to admit is sure was easy to "short blog" over there. But things have changed. Facebook became so full of politics and hatred, I completely stopped posting, almost hating to even scroll through the feed. It literally sucked the energy out of me. I tried a couple other social media platforms, but I just can't get back into it. I will still share the links to my posts here on FB and MeWe, but I do hope you will follow me by adding your email on the right side of this page.</div><div><br /></div><div>So much has changed with me, but in saying that, a lot is still the same. My goal is to post at least once a week on many different subjects I hope you will find interesting. You may also notice I have changed the name of the blog from <i>All in my Cottage</i> to <i><b>Arbor Oak Cottage</b></i>. When we built this home in 2005 we aptly named it because we live on the corner of Arbor St and Oak Grove Ave. A lot has changed since we built this house...we used to be next to a big farm, now we have houses built all around us. Our house is no longer red, its blue!</div><div><br /></div><div>I plan is to share personal experiences, recipes, travel, art, DIY, photography.

Seriously, I am shocked I have not posted here since August. No real excuses, other than blogging has seemed to have taken a back seat to facebook for me. Although I mainly use facebook for promoting my textile and graphics business, my personal creative outlet has always been here on my blog.<br />
As life marches along, so grows my family. We welcomed a grandson last summer-Joesph Randall--aka Joey, Joe and the kids call him Joe-Joe. My granddaughters and step grandson are now in school, seems like yesterday we were babysitting a 2 yr old and a new baby! They still give nana lots of hugs which I relish because they are growing up so fast!<br />

In less than a week we are headed to Kona, Hawaii, on our annual tropical vacation. As many of you know, this is our favorite spot and we go often. This year we are staying the entire month of April!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our kids and grandkids are staggering visiting too, so this truly will be a family vacation. Watch the blog here for lots of pictures!</div>

And also I will (and I promise) to share my garden and creative endeavors more often this year!</div>
