Hello again Ruth-girl. Glad you're enjoying Greece, despite the worries of the virus and the border problems. I like your work. Keep smiling!

Lovely photos, lovely place. I used to live in Greece and miss being there. I went back last year to Athens after a long absence and it was a joy. Things changed so much though, Enjoy your hiking!

What a lovely display! I keep orchids quite successfully, they sit on my windowsills and when they die down I pop them somewhere less prominent until they re-blossom. My favourite ia Equius Alba and it's

Lovely post and beautiful cats! My nephew's wife has American Rag Doll cats and they are stunning too. My husband is a cat person and I am happy with any animal, but enjoy looking after my grandaughter's

Hello Jaynie Thank you for your comment. I just realised how long ago this was, have been very busy. Neo is now 9 months old and has been in quarantine for two weeks due to a doggie cough. Quite awful

Once when living in Greece I looked after a stray dog that had just Stepan's look poor thing, you could see her rib cage! It took about a month to get her to walk calmly by my side in the woods behind

So good to see you're still just as enthusiastic as when I first found your posts. Love the frog stamps. I am saving special stamps in a special album for my grandkids, thinking one day they will appreciate

Well this post gets my vote right away! I know what you mean by lazy days but don't get many right now. The dog is sweet and can understand the joy. We have a new puppy in the family (my granddaughter's)

hangin I saw this and smiled, if only I could be so relaxed! It made me post a photo in that competition (never did that before) as we have a new puppy in the family called Neo and he's gorgeous. My husband

Oscarps as usual good pictures. I've been away too long but recovered and raring to go. Keep up the good work! Jeanne

Ah! Memories of the beautiful Greece. Thank you for the recall. Good picture showing the large expanse of gorgeousness.

Thank you for a lovely series of pictures of where you live. I feel quite guilty now, we had a good sunny and warm summer but I fear it has gone on too long as the heat is making me wilt! I like the sun

I wonder where these were growing, or which beach? Lovely photo and so refreshing. We have hybrid flowers in the UK very popular in the summer months and they are called Petunias, maybe they are the same

Thank you for the lovely photos and information, things I didn't even know, and I love Japan. The blossom is so beautiful there, that is warms the heart when one sees a photo of them. Mount Fuji is indeed

Thank you for the photo of beautiful flowers. You're lucky if they grow where you live. Happy Steeming!

Dear cubbyelizabeth, advice to myself 20 years ago would probably have gone unheeded! However, I hope that what I learned in the interim made me a better person. Celebrating the Armistice day celebration

A thoughtful post thank you. I have always budgeted but my fortune always depends on what income I deride from my daily life. I don't consider money a legacy. My parents gave us love in abundance, care

Thank you for this lovely post. I have friends in Australia but have never been there. We watch it vicariously through Australian cinema or TV shows. Some of the Flora and fauna you show can be seen in

Travel is good for the soul and good that you point out both sides of getting around the world. Sadly many people don't travel because they don't have the means, can't give up a good job because they have

jeezle you have a point, but not everyone is an optimist. I am, and being married to a pessimist is a challenge. But it can work. I tend to smile at people as I too beleive that sharing a smile is what
