THESE ARE JUST PRETTY!..............................


These are blooms that managed to sprout during this hot, hot summer we have had in AZ.  It does always amaze me how anything can grow so beautifully in this heat of ours.  Roses, garlic and oregano in a little vase....fragrant and nice combination....don't you think?

Fall is around the corner......the light is changing....it is in the air.

    Yes, fall is in the air. However, my gardens look so beautiful. Sometimes, life saves the best for last.

    Fall is definitely in the air here in Kansas, the crisp cool mornings are so nice. Our flowers are just about gone except for my sedum and a few geraniums are still blooming. I love your combination, I'm sure it is very fragrant, its certainly pretty.

    Dear Jo, they are very pretty! We have had the weirdest summer here in Ky this season. It has been SO pleasant, and remarkably cool for our norm! The rural setting we call home is alive with beautiful wild flowers,and trees. I have been in awe of Crepe Mertle, and Mimosa trees this summer..they seem to almost scream PAY ATTENTION TO ME! , although their beauty is very hard to miss!:) xoxo Christel

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

" I AM ROOTED....BUT I FLOW". Virginia Woolf

2020..can you believe it?  With each passing year I am more amazed that I am still here.   Both my parent's died very young and if genetics prove correct sometimes one can have the same fate.  Anyway....I digress. At the beginning of each new year I always find myself wondering what this particular year has in store.  With advanced age you can almost always depend on little surprises here and there.  Your life can be bumping along and then suddenly everything changes in the blink of an eye.  Your health changes, your finances change, family troubles, death of loved ones...the list goes on and on. Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration.  No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
