went through my fabric stash and filled a laundry basket with pass alongs…

there was about a ten year period where I collected fabric to use to decorate tables, rooms, etc… enjoyed the memories of when the various pieces were used… laughed as I remembered a colleague who used to call them my rags…

this basket had been filled to overflowing and still has quite a few items in it that I couldn’t let go, including a number of scarves… so happy to also find a few items that I didn’t even know were missing, lol…

visited outside with a wonderful young woman who came by to collect the stash and always makes me feel great…

looking forward to seeing what she produces;-)…

one of the things that makes me the happiest is spending time taking photos of bouquets…

yesterday I spent a good portion of the day taking shots from all angles with my Nikon…

as the flowers open and close I will have more opportunities to get some beautiful photos…

flowers make me happy;-)…

my middle grandson brought me a beautiful picture that he made in woodworking class at school last year…

it is a blue jay made from different woods… he did a great job… my beloved would have been very proud…

I’ve put it on the credenza in the dining room… will need to decide if I will leave it there or not…

and then…

what a beautiful view to wake up to on this first day of winter… everything was covered in a blanket of snow…

even more beautiful considering I don’t need to go out in it and can stay inside;-)…

well, I did shovel the sidewalk…

a few weeks ago I ordered a couple of new bands for my Fitbit… they arrived and were excellent…

one is very fancy, but needed to be adjusted… a few days ago I cut off a portion of it, but it was still too large…

yesterday I tried again and now it fits perfectly and looks great;-)…

very snazzy…

this morning there were three water lily blooms…

this is a first as there have never been three blooms at once in the pond, and I’ve never have five flowers in one season…

blessed…

enjoying time in the garden…

the dahlias are doing well and happily they are opening at different times so there should be some blooming throughout the weeks, rather than all at once and then nothing…

when I planted them I put the plastic bag they came in into the pot and now I can’t read the name, lol…

so far a purple one has bloomed next to the house…

and then a delicate white with purple tones bloomed… 3 flowers last week and 3 are blooming right now…

I cut them and put them in a vase to enjoy in the house…

currently that plant has 4 more buds on it… looks like another white one is starting to open… looking forward to how beautiful it will look when it is completely open…

that leaves two still to develop buds… can’t wait to see what colour they turn out to be… when I ordered them I asked for purple and white varieties…

with my retirement, I am enjoying the ability to spend each day in the garden all summer long…

sunburned…

beautiful, big girl pants, blessed, bloom, flowers, garden, hibiscus, moments, nature, sunburned, widow

yesterday the hibiscus finally bloomed for the first time in many months…

it lives in the house over the winter and hadn’t flowered since Christmas…

it was really unhappy when I moved it outside for the summer… the first few days after the move were very hot and it got sunburned… since then many of the leaves have turned yellow and fallen off…

last week I spotted the beginning of the first buds… and a few days ago the first one started to open…

yesterday it was fully open and even after the rain it looked gorgeous…

and there were three blooms ready to open…

and this is what I saw this morning…

nature really is amazing… and beautiful…
