WELCOME READERS……………with a bit of FUN DRAMA!
ALWAYS DRAMA with me!
HERE WE GO THROUGH MY GARDEN WHICH IS A BIT LATE THIS SPRING IN GIVING ME SOME BLOOMS!
I BELIEVE THIS TO BE NEW DAWN……PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG!
There was a day back in the PAST when I thought I would NEVER FORGET THE NAMES!
That was WISHFUL THINKING ON MY PART!
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS TO COME IN ONES 60’s or the MEDICATION one has to take in my case that wipes out memory!!
THIS ONE I CAN REMEMBER!
LIMONCELLO like THE DRINK OR SHOULD I SAY APPERTIVO!
That THE ITALIAN makes.
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ROSE THAT I HAVE GROWN!
BOLERO……..full of FRAGRANCE.
A SLEEPING PIGGY IN MY GARDEN!
I am looking for some new garden chairs have yet to find any that sweep me off my feet!
We also have a SQUIRREL Committee that likes to build their NESTS with the stuffing of my outside seating NOW!
The choices for garden chairs do NOTHING for ME……..
Very plastic and ABSOLUTELY NO STYLE.
What have YOU found?
CLEMATIS….I believe it has DUCHESS in its NAME……..
.. CHARLOTTE ROSE
THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS going to the VEGGIE GARDEN.
The ITALIAN takes care of that!
He has self~seeded THE BASIL this year and my JOB at the moment;
is to make sure they have water and I rotate them for SUN!
WE MAKE PESTO FOR THE YEAR FROM THIS.
BOLERO…………I KEEP ADDING MORE!
Not this year as CALIFORNIA has a big water shortage!
A WATER IRIS………
These over take the fountain to keep the fish out of SIGHT.
From the BIG BIRD ( HERON ) that flies in every so often!
EARLY SPRING
STANDARD PILLOW FIGHT WHITE ROSES
THE SURVEYOR…….
DOWN in the creek area…….in her PINK GARDEN BOOTS!
PILLOW FIGHT ROSE in all’s its GLORY!
These were TRANSPLANTS last YEAR we were LUCKY they TOOK!
As we moved them in SPRING last year!
Can you BELIEVE a neighbor did not want them!
Behind me is the OLD CHIKEN COOP!
Recall I had to get rid of them when they found out I have MAC or LADY WINDERMERE………
SONOMA CHICKS TOOK THEM…………..VERY KIND OF HER!
WE MET ON INSTAGRAM.
I cannot tell YOU how fun INSTAGRAM has been for me……..
I have been on this PLATFORM for over TEN YEARS NOW.
The people I have met from ALL OVER THE WORLD have brought me so much JOY!
From VOQUE and BAZAAR editors to Portrait hunters of the 18C and INTERIOR DESIGNERS and REAL GARDENER’s, GENUINE GOOD PEOPLE who have similar interests.Plus the animal videos of creatures in the wild and at home with their FAMILIES.
FOOD for THE SOUL especially in these LAST THREE YEARS………..
PETUNIA’s from SAFEWAY……I walked by them TWICE and they had not SOLD so I gave them a HOME!
I JUST HAD TOO!
HOW I LOVE ANYTHING FOR THE GARDEN IN CEMENT!
I wanted to use all CEMENT tables, statues and benches inside the home, but THAT ITALIAN VETOED MY IDEA!
You see MY VISION was to adorn the benches and chairs with velvet cushions with tassels!
Those cement TABLES are MAGICAL!
Round or Rectangle!
THIS URN was given to me from my neighbors for my 40th birthday!
22 years ago!
A CAFE LATTE in the GARDEN…………..
Have you seen Elizabeth Barlow’s Paintings?
She resides in CARMEL and use to work for the San Francisco OPERA.
FLOWERS……GALORE that LOOK REAL!
Click above on the LINK!
She gave me that blue and white BIG CUPPA!
NEW SPECTACLES….what do YOU THINK?
ROUND AND ORANGE hanging off MY PEARLS GALORE.
.
So this is the skirt that fell off me when I showed MYSELF in LEGGINGS………….
HORRORS ON INSTAGRAM!
Even with the LABEL UP!
It was a TRICK QUESTION !
I asked my followers if I would go outside the house in these?
Most said YES!
MY ANSWER is NO!
NO matter the BODY SHAPE!
Unless you have a long shirt covering the GLUTEUS MAXIMUS!
THE KNEES CAN GIVE YOUR AGE AWAY!!
Not that anyone cares anymore.
I wear these under CAFTANS and MAXI dresses for warmth ONLY.
YOU can do as you choose but there are TOO MANY of us WHO HAVE LOST THE IDEA OF COVERING UP!
Mostly the Youth!
It’s like THE EMPORERS NEW CLOTHES TO ME!
WE either see THE BUTT CRACK or the underwear line or the dimples of the GLUTEUS MAXIMUS .
I have wanted to tell SO many LADIES YOUNG AND OLD when I wait in the grocery store line
“DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE FROM THE BACK?
MOST OF THESE WOMEN HAVE SHORT TOPS ON OR BASICALLY AN EXERCISE BRA…………..
Trotting around TOWN you should be covered up a wrap of some kind or a long tunic takes but a minute to add.
IF you are in exercise class thats OKAY it’s when you leave or run errands after that I am HARPING ABOUT!
WE HAVE BECOME A VERY CASUAL SOCIETY AS YOU KNOW.
I think I’m living in the DARK AGES!
IT’s TRUE……..
NO FAKE NEWS from ME!
I SEE IT DAILY!
The BANKSIA ROSE did not do well this year…….
BETTY enjoying THE MEADOW
ROSES WITH LEMON BALM
YOU CAN SEE HERE where the SQUIRRELS go to TOWN!
I have started stitching THE CUSHIONS.
That’s a sight me on my knees sewing away!
Plus me in the FLOWERED CROWN!
NOR, do I go outside the house with this CROWN on.
ONLY on a Hat would I do that!
A MRS. WHALEY’s REFLECTION SPOT!
HAVE YOU READ HER BOOK YOU GARDEN BUFFS?
I LOVE IT!
SHE LIVED IN CHARLESTON.
I LOVE THIS CHARTREUSE PLANT BUT CANNOT GET IT TO GROW IN ABUNDANCE but my NEIGHBOR CAN!
THIS ONE IS MINE!
EARLY SPRING!
SALLY HOLMES
WHICH ONE of YOU used to make Necklaces or Earrings from these Daisies as a child?
OUR FIRST HOMEGROWN APPLE!
A SPOT I ADORE BUT UNCOMFORTABLE TO SIT!
THATS it for NOW from me in MY GARDEN.
THE JASMINE HAS YET TO BLOOM SO A FEW SHOTS OF THAT WILL COME LATER….
SEIZE THE DAY with JOY!
THAT’s AN ORDER!
I APPRECIATE ALL of YOU WHO STOP BY TO SAY HELLO!
