A DIFFERENT PACE - Going with the flow


My daughter has several "favorite" flowers. One of them I could never grow successfully. No matter what I did, they died on me. But every years I'd plant some again. Today I'll "plant" a beautiful picture with a bonus, a little ladybug - another favorite.

Here Crystal, these will last you for as long I you want them too.

Until a couple of years ago, gardening was my ultimate thing to do, weather permitting. I would turn all the lights on inside the house and open the shades to stay out late in the spring time, sick with planting fever. In the summertime I'd get up before sunrise to enjoy the stillness and savor the sweet scent of the garden in full bloom. Of course I'd slip bak into bed most days! And I took naps on the swing, ahhh!!! On rainy days, I sat under the big umbrella, curled up in a comfy chair. I just about lived outside. I still would, but it's not possible right now. I miss it. Soon again...

Those are gorgeous flowers! Did you take this picture? I'm curious about the name of your blog. Are you french? Parlez-vous francais? Moi, je parle francais mais j'ai oublie beaucoup de mon francais. I took it in highschool, but I don't use it very much. Hope you have a nice weekend.

Hi Carol,
No, I looked for this one, I could never grow these fuzzy little flowers. And the last two years I haven't seen but a couple of lady bugs in my yard.
My blog name? Well, my father was french, André Eugène Meyer, and my mother swiss, Lisette Pauline Dutoit.
Oui je parle et écrit le français.
Thank you for visiting et leaving a word.
Do you have a blog?
