into the garden

"I believe that, much like books, gardens are organic, unpredictable things, revealing their beauty how and when they choose. It is up to us to remember to pause and enjoy that beauty every day. "

......Julia Kelly, The Last Garden in England

I just finished that book and it was so good!

Strolling the garden today. LOL. Isn't that such a nice old fashioned word----"strolling".

The temps have DROPPED TO THE EIGHTIES here today in the Lowcountry!!------we're freezing!! LOL ha ha just kidding

so it's a good day to go out to the garden

Because they give us these!:

fluffs of rainbow four 'o clocks:

My Old Maids have finally burst into bloom!

I've been picking big bouquets of them every few days. The more you pick, the more they bloom!

sunflower season!

We've had lots of rain lately.....so lots of these sprouting up:

and goodies fresh picked from the garden:

And onions!

Oh, how I LOVE ONIONS!

On lucky days.......we find good things:

I hope everyone is having a peaceful happy and safe weekend. So glad you stopped in to see me!

Oh, what a lovely stroll through the garden with you! That was delightful!! You have much to look at and so much to be thankful for! I love seeing your flowers and all those beautiful vegies!! I wish I were a real gardener and could do that! I just don't have the stamina or strength, but maybe if I tried it would help. Oh well...I can dream! LOL. Thank you for this treat today. I enjoyed every moment of it. Those vegies looks so good, because they are so nice and fresh! Wow. That would be so nice. (((hugs))) to you both today.

My flowers are looking tired and looking like that are ready to call the blooming season done! Course we have not been getting rain and watering, just don't do the job right. Hoping all is well with you

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
