random life happenings....and a few treasures

 Hello and a beautiful day to you!

I'm just popping in to share some things that have been going on.

I love to read about other blogger's every day lives.

Do you?

It's always so interesting to me and making new friends here is

 one of the things that I love most about blogging!

So welcome, welcome!

And thank you so much for coming.

in the summer breeze while the wind chimes

jingle-jangle a little tune..
Comfrey is high is Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
It can be a real plus when used as a fertilizer.
It's VERY easy to grow.
Mine came from a plant that I found in a ditch along the road several years ago.
 It grows in partial shade or full sun.

A waffle cone filled with a mini celebration!

Crunchy, golden sugar crystals topped with green, pink, blue,

yellow, red, orange and white ThOuSaNdS and MiLlIoNs!!

This is my absolute favorite way to eat ice cream.

Actually, the whole family is kind of addicted to sweet and crunchy goodness!

And when the crunch is all eaten off the top, just for fun, just because you

want to, you can always add another layer.

This bird bath is too deep for birds but perfect for floating candles!

All tucked back into the honeysuckle bush, it added an enchanting, warm glow to our evening gathering last weekend..
Music, singing visiting around the fire.

 in our garden world.

I have a question..

These sweet roses come out with their lovely blooms every year since we 

bought this home 15 years ago and I'm not sure what it is.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me.

One of my favorite places in my room~

This old rocker came from our family farm in West Virginia.

Do you like pictures of flowers? I do.

I brought this one home from a thrift store.

It's so cheerful..

Time for a little relaxing in the gypsy camp.

Outdoor living is so soothing to my spirit.

Sounds of nature and the offerings of the earth..

I try to be out as much as possible.

This Bavarian plate belonged to my lovely mother-in-law. 

I used to think it needed to be up somewhere and it's been in a box

for 12 years because I could never decide where to hang it. 

I decided to just get it out and put it SOMEWHERE 

so everyone can enjoy it! So it's sitting on the island looking 
very elegant and reminding us of someone very special 
who is no longer with us.

Miss Liberty knows how to keep cool on a hot summer day.

This has the appearance of a lawn but it's really our precious

patch of grass that grows underneath our apricot tree:)

I lay on the hammock and she likes to be close underneath.

She's so sweet. I tell her that she's the best dog in the world.

(and so is yours!)

Last evening, we went and played music at the Foxfire. 

It was so much fun. Such lovely people to play for and with.

Such kindredness and kindness.

The scenery is breathtaking to me.

I took a few pictures. I will post them soon.

So many new songs to work on!

I've been working on projects for the craft show this weekend.

It's a dance and BBQ as well.

A delightful shindig in the mountains!

I've been very busy. Well scratch that.

I've been working very hard.

There's a difference isn't there?

Being busy doesn't always mean getting a lot done.

Working hard inspires me to do more and doesn't drain me

like being overly busy does.

Any thoughts on that subject?

Wishing you a fabulous weekend

and as always ...Thank you ever so much for your visit.

Please do let me know what's going on with you.

I love to hear from you!

I respond to all comments.

Not here but I will either track back or email you.
