Right now I am . . .

As I look around the house . . .
I see a dog who needs a playmate

Your flowers are so beautiful! Your blog made me smile today, because of the Barbara Greenwood quote. My 9 year old and I are deep into the American Girl "Kit" books, and they take place during the Great Depression...we just talked about that quote!!!!

Joanna, thank you! This year we are pretty much looking at depression recipes, as our garden did not produce well. Have a wonderful week!

I love the rugs hanging on your laundry line!

I can't believe your flowers are still so beautiful that far up north. Ours have all gone to seed, and with the constant rain we've gotten for four days and more to come with a tropical storm off our coast, they won't get dead headed anytime soon either.
I do hope we get a few nice days before they drop their seeds, to gather a few to plant in different places next Spring.
Many places down here are experiencing flash floods. We're high on a hill, so we're ok, but with more rain coming, I really feel for those people who aren't.
With what you went through this Spring, I'm sure you know what they're going through.
Everyone take care and be safe.
God bless.

RB, it's pretty cold today (10-1) so I'm heading out later to cut flower tops for seeds. I don't keep my aster seeds, as they have re-seeded themselves every year. Stay safe with those storms.

Thanks Kristina.
Becoming a concern with the ground saturation, more rain coming, and possible high winds, large trees will be toppling and our little house is in the middle of many growing in sand which doesn't hold roots well in high winds.
God will see us through this. Praise and Thank God!!!
Have a good weekend.
God bless.
