Have a great week!
Got to go get my flag out.
Hope you had a good weekend!
Thanks, dear Kiki. Do hope your weekend was delightful.
You are dear, Kala, and thank you!
Thanks, Rick. Looks/sounds like your weekend was as awesome as mine!
Thank you, dear Kanak. I shared a message with you on your last post regarding a special houseguest, a dear friend of my daughter's (a surrogate daughter to me) from India, who was with us over this long weekend at the lake.
Too sweet, Lindalou ... you live close ... we will connect. Though in and out of town all summer, let me know if near.
Thanks imac ... :)
Hi dear, Monica. Now home, I see we need rain both at the lake and here. I did not recognize my garden that wears a whole new face since I left 5 days ago! My peonies were hit hard by what must have been a hard wind/rain so ran out and shot a few before they fade (new post of old peonies that grabs my heart). Tonight I might sleep for 12 hours after our 14 guests but tomorrow, it's 'HIT' the garden that misses me.
Thank you, Carol. Always a joy to connect, I too was much touched by your last stunning post.
Hi Karen. Thanks ... actually, most all 'up close and personal' of these shots are posted here on my blog.
Thank you, Wendy. Prayers are with you and tending friends too after reading your touching post.
Hi, dear Marnie! Do hope your weekend weather, even more than one could wish for, was as awesome as ours here in Michigan.
Thanks, Eileen. I created post before leaving for the past 5 days. Hard to comment on hubby's computer with 14 house guests, some vying for computer time :) So hope your weekend was delightful!
Hi Robin ... after this perfect Michigan weather weekend, we are catching up. I was stunned returning home after 5 days away ... my garden was a stranger! I nearly missed my old peonies (strong winds and pelting rain while away) though grabbed my camera to capture my 1st June post.
