After our chores were done...
We assembled on the deck...
Out of the scorching sun...
And blustery S/W wind...
It was fabulous...
Apparently...
We missed...
A...
HUGE rain storm...

And sweet peas! I love sweet peas.
ReplyDeleteMe too!!
DeleteMy blog is still acting up...you were in SPAM, with all my responses..
What is going on??
I don't know what is going on, but I'm not spam. :(
DeleteI love the photo of the hollyhock and the teeny, tiny ladybug!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed her after uploading....I actually see quite a few bugs in my pictures this week! ha!
DeleteYour flowers are just stunning and you have so many different kinds! You are a master gardener. I love the ladybug! Best wishes to your daughter; it's a big change but I am sure they will do fine.
ReplyDeleteWell...thanks Jennifer...the garden really takes care of itself...I just give it some TLC every so often!
DeleteLooks idyllic! Nice toenail polish too!
ReplyDeleteMy sweet peas didn't do well this year, just a few green sprouts and that is all. Better get some fresh seed for next year. Lots blooming, it is hard to keep up with it all now. It will be a hard day for your daughter returning to work. At least Vivian will be happy with you and Grampa. The heat and humidity continues ... yuck.
ReplyDeleteMine are perennial...nice and easy!!!
DeleteYes...she arrived at 6:45!!! Just put her down for a nap...
Better grab a shower! ha!
We will only have her on Mondays...and the odd pick-up from daycare..
Hopefully it will all work out!
hot and sweaty here!!
Holy feet!!! Good thing your are partaking of the pedicure is all I can say!!! Mommy is getting back to work? Ya....that changes everything doesn't it? Hope her daycare works out okay. Little Vivian will now be working on the avoidance of germs. Such is life but good thing....she will have some awesome fun with the other kids and learn all kinds of....good and....bad behaviour. Makes for a well rounded little gal!! Great cottage pics of your lovely surroundings. Enjoy every minute!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ann...been meaning to write to you...
ReplyDeleteLost power for 5 hours...just got it back!!
