A Turtle And So Many Blooms!

Such a beautiful time of year.
Amazing colours, fragrances, sights and sounds.
The gardens and wooded areas are full of wonder.
A turtle has laid her eggs in the backyard.
The Lightning Bugs have been on display in the evenings in the backyard woods, so spectacular.
The dragonflies have arrived, thankfully, since the mosquitoes are fierce again this year.
Wishing each of you curiosity, wonder and time to enjoy this journey. ox

Fleeting Days Of Summer

Summer Time

Greetings, it has been a while. Summer is upon us. We had one peony bloom this season, it paired beautifully with my otchipotchi vase (Paula is such a talent, http://otchipotchi.com/about). Generous family members have shared transplants from their gardens and all seem to be adjusting well to their new garden homes. Have had numerous visits with family and friends these past several weeks and celebrated my fortieth birthday. Still wrapping my brain around that one. So this past Friday was the big day and because I am back in Canada and my sister's sweetie was throwing her a surprise party, I was able to attend. It was the first time in probably ten years since my twin sister and I have been able to celebrate our birthday together in person, it was wonderful. Coming across a turtle last week was a treat, found it near my in laws home while returning from a day spent with my dear sister in law and niece.
More soon.
Take care.
Enjoy the journey.
