hello friends!



It’s been a while since I’ve posted...it seems each day is so full that I simply can't keep up. Where do the hours go? I will try to remedy that.

However; I’ve been visiting your blogs and reading up on all the latest! 




A heartfelt thanks for all of your comments on my last post...I so appreciate you sharing your own experiences, as well as your insight and words of wisdom regarding my rant on the lack of manners in today's world. 

I left each of you a reply...again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. 




Oh my, what wonderful neighbors YOU would be...so grateful to know you from across the many miles.

    1. Thank you so much, Daisy, I saw a neighbor had impatience in a hollow trunk, so I borrowed her idea! Thank you for the good wishes – we have a heat advisory- what a way to welcome September!

    1. Good morning Jules - You’re right the summer has flown by. But then I say that every year so I must be getting older! ;) I remember hearing time flies whether you’re having fun or not – let’s choose joy!

    1. Oh thank you - the rainbow was so pretty - one of the few times I’ve seen one clear across the sky!

  6. I think, my friend, you still are ahead of me in keeping up with blogging. ;-) Yes, the blog world seems a bit kinder, a bit softer than the "real" world most days. I treasure so the friends I have met here and am so glad to count you among them. Beautiful photos as always. I particularly love the lamb's ear in the tree trunk. Does that manage to contain them? Early on in my "gardening" days, I planted lamb's ear and it ran rampant. It took me years to get rid of it finally and completely. It was beautiful, yes, but overtook everything - and once we had a nasty storm, their beauty was destroyed....they toppled and fell, turned yellow, etc.

    1. Thanks so much for your kind words Robin - you are so right, the nicest people have come to visit here. If only I could just scoop you all up and we could be one little village of our own! Oh-so happy to have found you as well. I do think if we lived closer, we would have much to talk about. This is my first year for the lamb’s in the hollowed out log - I saw a house with flowers tucked inside a trunk and it was just so pretty and thought I’d do the same. I would hope they would stay contained, but honestly, I have some areas I wish they would take over!
