A chicken and a spider

The weather has been absolutely wonderful...sit outside with morning coffee and sliders open all day. I know…. in other parts of the country it is cold and dreary.... but this is why I moved here.

Do you see her? A patchwork chicken in the kitchen garden! Of course the show stopper is the Mr Lincoln rose bush...just look at all the blooms. The fragrance is wonderful. In the top picture is the chive and basil pot, the bottom is the tomato that is growing very strong and soon will need a support. There are flowers already. All in all it is growing well and we have been able to use the herbs in cooking.

Look carefully....I did not see it when I took the picture but there is an ugly spider in the rose! He can remain as long as he keeps the bugs away!
Not anything to show for being creative... just not happening right now.  It is not for a lack of things to create, it is just me myself and I not interested at the moment. Soon.....
How about an update on dear friends Don and Glenda... Don is doing well at the moment as is Glenda but please continue to keep them in your thoughts. Okay, time to get back out to the lanai and listen to Sarah Brightman.... Alan hooked up Dennis' electronics so we have music out there...next will be the TV. Thank you for visiting and for your kind words.... thank you for your friendship.

A Rose for Dennis

A beautiful morning....enjoyed a coffee outside on the front porch with The Brother Alan... he just left for work. Once a few chores are complete then I will be ready to return to the outdoors myself. We have been enjoying watching the football games out on the lanai on Sundays. Alan will be home in  time for the evening game.

The roses are opening...a few at a time. The fragrance is wonderful.

I picked this one to bring inside to enjoy. The living room filled with the delightful fragrance. This was Denny's favorite rose and he would absolutely love this.

This has fully opened this morning. All is well in the garden.
Guess I should say that my crafting fingers have been in hiding... have not been able to find interest. Maybe soon? We all have those times when interest disappears.... waiting for it all to return.  The house has become settled with the addition of Lisa and Alan...some changes made and routines added. All is good. Nice to have you stop by. Thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.
