Hello, sweet friend…
I hope you are doing well…
it’s been a l.o.n.g rainy season this year along the Oregon coast…
however I’m not one to complain…
because almost like clockwork…
once the summer hits…
my garden comes into bloom…
it makes me so very happy…
grateful for all that I have…
by living a simply abundant life…
Wishing you all an amazing summer season!

Happy Summer to you Marcia!!!!!! Your garden is looking so fresh and lovely!!!! And not only do you get the rainy season…so do we!!!! Unfortunately, but thats how our flowers grow so pretty!!!! Your dessert looks delish too!!!!
Happy summer Donna! I’m sure you can’t wait for your vacation.
A lovely, lovely garden. So pleased to see all the beautiful flowers in stunning settings. Wish we were able to have something a quarter of this around our home. We have had ridiculously high temperatures, (90+ ) day after say after day, and it has restricted outdoor work for us. Not having good health and having to use canes restricts what we could do, even in milder temps. So many plans that just can’t be followed through on is disheartening. That is why it is such a pleasure to share in what you have accomplished.
Thank you so much with sharing your beautiful home and garden.
Hi Nancy, thank you for your sweet comments. I’m sorry that it’s so very hot airway in much of the country. I am not very fond of the extreme heat… Here’s to cooler weather for you soon. Take care dear friend.
I love your recipes and the photos too. How do you stay so slim. Just you and hubby eat the whole trifle?
Hi Monica, it’s always so nice when you stop by for a visit. Thank you for all your lovely comments…
