Beautiful! I planted balloon flowers for the first time this year and I LOVE them! What a delight they've been in the garden! And how delightful to see you still have clematis growing. Lovely.
All of your photos are great. It wasn't easy to get that wren in the picture but you did. Good job. Your flowers look so healthy and all of your arrangements are really great. I enjoy your site very much.
Mmmm. Such scrumptious photos. Yes, I am convinced more than ever that you were indeed reincarnated from an earlier time, and that you are giving us a gift of your vision of a more beautiful era. Thank you.
VERY NICE...I love the clamatis!!! I have 4 different ones,but I have never seen this color you have..I have to find me one of those!!!! love your blog...
I think it's been a good year for dahlias, with all the rain you've had over there. Larry tells me the humming birds are back. Have you got them in your garden? Blessings, Star
Hi Jo, What gorgeous pictures... I love that birdhouse hotel...Did you get that at the fair???? Congrats to your daughter for winning the blue ribbon. That's wonderful!!!!! Looks like Wilson County has a great county fair. I think all of the counties in TN go all out!!!!
We're home from vacation and had a great time. Hugs, Betsy

I love the birdhouse, the flowers are so pretty, you certainly are blessed with a green thumb!

love the clematis! I have 2 varieties,one is a fall bloomer, but I've never seen one like yours. I'm guessing it wouldn't do well in Michigan :(
I like both of your unique bird houses...

Love your flowers and the birdhouse.
