Happy Birthday...

Now and then...

 

As you once told me when you were very small, "I love you gladly." You are a joy to be around and you make me laugh every day.

Best to all, e.

It Has Been Forever....

.....it has been a very long time since I put this little space to bed. I have missed it and lots of things have happened; many good things and some not so good. I wanted to come back with a Sunday Stroll, but surprise, it has been raining. Here are a few out of season photos to get me started.

We grew some beautiful echinacea in the nursery...

...some beautiful Oregon sky...

...lovely Queen Anne in all of her glory..

....what beauty unfolds like linen when you unconsciously let a hosta die..

....these dried weeds are so lovely to me, I love the richness of the muted colors...

....wooly bear's bottom disappearing...

...lovely squash blossom. Our garden was poor this year. I think it was because we had no bees.

..thistles are not welcomed, except by me for their beautiful texture and color...

.......more beauty from the flowers.


It is good to be back.
Best to all, ellen.
