vintage images...

just in case you want to get a head start on some fun...
here are a few halloween images for you to use...
so you can get ready to decorate come October...

transformations...

some things have not done so well in the heat...
Mr Wiggles wanted in the post...
so here he is...
should just dump all of these...
but not yet...
and the ones I worried about...
seemed to thrive in the heat and drought...
who would have thought?
and there are pots where half are hurting and the other half doing so well...
these were in a safe place...
I let Craig do a little decorating this morning...
everything that we had pulled off of the porch and put in the garden cart was all his...
and I continued doing my thing with the camera...
just to show you how it so looks like fall here now...
and just waiting for this to start opening so the butterflies will come again...
he set this up for a tea...
he won this ginger bread doll playing bingo...
and this cow doll, too...
and I had to stop by here and play just a bit before we took our walk...
there's clouds and rain coming...
we need at least a couple of inches...
and it began sprinkling on us down the street...
but it had quit before we got home...
there is more coming...
the radar looks promising...
and there you have it...
the beginning of a transformation in my garden...
as one season steps back...
it allows another to tip toe in...
quietly, gently...
and before you know it...
BOO will happen...
have a great day ladies...
even if it's Monday...
;o)


Woo hoo!

I think I have fixed all my blogging woes!
Yes, I think I did.
I downloaded Google Chrome...
and use it for blogging...
OMGosh!
how fast and I can hop around so much more...
and leave comments...
I was getting so frustrated with blogger before...
if you are still having problems...
download it...
takes like 3 minutes and boom...
happy blogging again...
Blogger uses it so that's why it works!
I still use my other browser for the other stuff...
try it...

Love is...


this is so true...
and you will find it more and more the older you get...
you don't have to be going somewhere or doing something all the time...
just hanging out in the same space is enough...
when there doesn't have to be words...

and just a peek at the babies feeding time...
Thumper...
and my favorite...
Tori...

Tilly wouldn't sit still long enough to have her picture taken...
she is very cranky at feeding time...
the food aggression will leave when they have food available all the time...
and we have a few weeks before that happens...
they are doing better every day...

I am so glad that we do this as a family...
and that DH supports me in whatever I get us into...

Have a great Monday!

Sunday morning...

my potting bench is becoming a kitty condo...
we are on our last day of heat...
in just a few short hours...
it's all going to change...
a robin's nest fell out of the tree last week when we had wind...
my pink dotted plant that I fell in love with comes with purple blooms...
it was a nice surprise...
mums are budding over here...
the other 2 have already begun blooming...
can you not look at these and not smile...
me either...
and now, just for fun...
worked on my playlist last night...
needed something to work by...
something perky...
toe tappin'...
to make a positive atmosphere...
but I am also taking requests...
just leave a comment and maybe the next time you visit...
your favorite song just might be playing...
;)
PS:
I can only leave comments now on those of you who have a pop out comment thingy...
just because I can't leave you a comment doesn't mean I'm not keeping my eye on you...
hopefully, blogger will get it together and it will all work...
until then...
