As Summer’s blossoms begin to fade
Others welcome Autumn
Wildflowers and Seedum start their Fall Serenade
And the bees are glad they’ve got “em”

It’s almost August 24th, “wedding day” for oldest daughter. I’m still busy with the flowers but wanted to send out a quick Monday post, to stay on schedule for you.
Late August also means it will be September soon (yikes winter approaches). Today I’ll share some spring & summer photos with you. My nature pics folder stores all the warm season beauties I click. Something to peruse in a cozy chair on a winter afternoon, reminders that the cold isn’t eternal!
FUN… that was my first gallery in a post. Cool, and not too difficult (I love WordPress!). Looks like you can click on a picture for a slideshow of the gallery. You’ll get a black screen with one picture. Just continue to click directly on the picture and it should go through them all. I noticed there is also another COMMENT opportunity at the bottom of each picture as you go through the slideshow. Give it a try.
Here’s a final one with more color this time.
Let me know how you like the galleries or if you have any troubles with them! Remember it’s my first attempt here 🙂

Now gotta get back to my floral duties. Have a good week, and if you live near me, keep cool in these rising temps and humidity.
As always, don’t stress, just start.
Later – Cheryl

Few words … just sharing a beautiful end to a great day. Enjoy!
Inside and out … I love where I live!

Living in the country always offers something unexpected. In the midst of yet another rainy day, I discovered these visitors on my back garden fence.
Would have loved to have been outside and gotten a little closer. This is the best I could do on zoom, through a window and the rain. Actually there is a third guest, a little green hummingbird camouflaged in the wegelia bush (pink blossoms in top photo). I just couldn’t get close enough to catch him on camera.
Right now, two projects are in the works. First is a “staging” article, where you’ll see the difference between “decorating” your home “and staging” it to sell, because yes, they are very different. Also coming soon is a piece featuring some really fun things I found on a recent barn pick and what was done with them.
Meantime, with any of your projects, don’t stress – just start.
Until next time – Cheryl
Hooray, outside days are back.
Last Sunday between showers, I managed to plant some annuals which have already taken hold. All week I’ve had to mow small sections between the storms. My yard looked liked a giant patchwork quilt! Yesterday rain held off long enough to dry things out and I finished it all before an evening downpour. Yay!
Today, well, WOW ! A little windy but beautiful! I’m off soon on Friday errands and grocery shopping but wanted to post first, as am always pooped from all that running around! After dragging everything in and putting it away, I take a short sit-down break with a cool drink.
On the subject of drinks, here’s my favorite. It’s refreshing, affordable, good and good for you too.
All you need is
1. A pretty goblet (always decorating 🙂
2. A favorite fruit juice
3. A little sparkling water
The mixture I use is 1/3 juice to 2/3’s seltzer water, +/- to taste.
I use 100% apple juice NOT FROM CONCENTRATE. The juices from concentrate are more heavily processed, and have added sugars and preservatives. As a diabetic, the more natural juice is better for me. You can use any fruit juice or blend that you like. I hear cran-apple is great! (and if you prefer a little more zip, add a drop or two of your chosen alcholic mixer. That works too!)
I’ll close this time with one more pretty flower shot and a hint.
HINT: If you’re not keen on gardening but still crave some summer color, catch the next post. It’s a quick project, easy to do and real affordable too.
Meantime, don’t stress, just start.
