On this super hot day in July, I filmed a 24 second video of the loveliest peaceful fountain in an urban garden. Thanks Bev. Your garden is an oasis of serenity. Surrounded by coneflowers and daisies and whimsical rabbit sculptures. I appreciated your showing me.
My friend Marianne in on vacation in Palm Desert, California. She sent these beautiful roses.
When she saw them, she said she thought of me. ❤️
Marianne M is guest blogger today.
We need some color to break up the winter gray!
How about this groundhog, looking right at me?
Sighting along the Heritage Trail when I walked with my friend Jen Tuesday morning. She spotted him.
I was not thinking about his being in the rodent family.
Mary and I have been to Punxsutawney twice to celebrate Groundhog Day holiday and also to Woodstock, Illinois where they filmed the movie.
Kristin sent these photos of her husband making bread.
Rick is really good at bread making.
He’s okay with the photos being posted.
I added the first photo of my grandmother’s ode to bread and the last photo of Rick kneading his famous and delicious bread in 2016.
Sunday morning I was sipping coffee and knitting a sock and Steve said, “there’s a package for you.”
A surprise delivery.
I opened it up and there was an unexpected gift of a Willow Tree Angel of Friendship with a lovely message. ❤️ I have her where I can see her when I’m “working” in my former dining room, now transformed into a workshop space.
Joan’s garden has many colorful varieties -this is Scabiosa – pincushion flower
Early in the Pandemic my friend Debbie shipped scone mix and an unusual kitchen tool. A “brodpisker”in Danish or a Dough Whisk.
Here’s an Epicurious article all about this wonderful tool.
(Of course, you don’t want to overwork you’re scone dough!)
Thanks, Deb.
