I feel that way when I visit my sister in the Mission Valley in Montana! I lived there for a few years, long ago, and still miss the beauty there, even though I live in another beautiful spot now.

My little helper lost interest sooner than I was hoping, but at least she got to mess with the dirt and plants and water for a few minutes.

I admire your ambition level, and your ability to keep doing so much when tired. I guess I used to do that, myself. But now my level of tiredness has reached new heights (or is it depths?), and I just

That was a long wait for those cherry bushes. I sure hope they thrive for you. You mentioned a desire to achieve balance. If you figure out how to do that, please let me know. LOL

What a beautiful treat for the eyes! I think I could spend an entire day in a place like that...and an entire month's money.

Once again, I have fallen far behind in my Hive reading. That's a LOT of garlic! What do you use to fertilize them in the spring?

Oooooh.

This is very true!!

I love both of the versions of Sabrina!

We, too, have had yo-yo temperatures. Today it's raining and 54 degrees, but Thursday's forecast is for 93 degrees. Really? That's nuts! The rain sure does make everything beautifully green, though.

Those three photos are spectacular. Where was the bottom one taken? I don't think life usually turns out to be what we expected it to be. Mine certainly hasn't been.

I don't remember the first time I used a phone booth, but I know I have done it. You had quite the ramble that day! I hope your shoes were comfortable.

Glad you enjoyed the photos! Thanks for stopping by.

Ha ha ha! Actually, I think one summer when we were moving to another location we didn't have a garden. Long ago.

Are you aware of anyone else who has made their own tokens in a similar way, or did you think that up all by yourself? Either way, it's quite creative.

After seeing so many of your beautiful photos, I think I need to go visit Hoquiam! That looks like a great place to take a walk. The path looks so inviting in the very first photograph.

That looks like a great area for a long bike ride. I'm familiar with Green Bluff, but not the rest of your route. Glad it went well for you, and the rain held off til later.

I've fallen behind with my Hive reading again. Glad that procedure went well!

As a fellow cat-owner, I am always amused by your cat stories. Felix sure didn't want Prince Tommy to have his catch, even if he wasn't quite sure what to do with it himself. Ha ha! Hope you are enjoying

I am always impressed by the amount of produce you obtain from such a small space. Even with a huge garden, I've never been able to grow enough of everything we like to eat in order to last an entire year.
