They're Off!

The newlyweds are headed east

To the Atlantic side of the country

A tear or two dropped

Not so much in sadness

But knowing a new chapter has begun

The Unveiling

With DZ's help

My new potting bench is finished...complete... and ready to use


It certainly feels good to reuse and recycle objects that previously served a different purpose

Can you find all the items

That are being used in a new way?


I count 18

(Please note: the wire mesh and the zinc letter z are the only items I purchased at a store)

Sunday Dinner

Each Sunday I try to have a nice dinner surrounded by my family

Today we enjoyed our meal outside under the pergola

With these two lovebirds



We had grilled teriyaki chicken breast, fresh melon salad, fresh corn on the cob and grilled zucchini/mushroom/onions...

Oh so very tasty

We topped it all off with these scrumptious mango frozen delights from Trader Joe's
This was our yummy dessert

How was your Sunday afternoon?

Dryer Lint


Do you clean the lint catcher

Everytime you put a load into the dryer?

My mother taught me to do this when I was young

(she had a friend whose dryer caught fire from accumulated lint)

So I am diligent

This last load of rags

Made the lint catcher overflow

Always remember: Before cramming clothes in the dryer

CLEAN THE LINT CATCHER

Sunflower Forest


If I was a cat lounging in the middle of a path in my garden

And I looked upward towards the sky

This is what I would see





Some days I wish I was a cat

Being lazy in my garden

Glad for Glorious Glads


I planted a lot of gladiolus bulbs this spring

First time EVER

Originally wanted them to bloom for the "wedding"

Guess I didn't time that one right

But they are blooming now

I am not bashful to say

I am proud of these beauts!
