Sunny Day Turned To...

Started out beautiful today...took pics of my beautiful Hibiscus...Then,thunderstorming again.I had already moved my swing to the table,took off my flowers to one side of deck and check out this hail.This pic looks like just some rain with some hail,but it was pouring and this hail was pounding the windows like little rocks.Took this pic from upstairs...

Summer Evening...

Well,Summer's here and Summer evenings,I love them.It's fun to be out enjoying the evenings when it's warm,not so hot,which was our weather last Friday.

The sky looked so beautiful and I got a good shot of the Narnia Lamp on and off.These daisies all coming out was a great treat,I love daisies.Summer's here!!!

In Memory of Tasha...

June 18th,last week,all on the Tasha Tudor email list,got the news that Tasha had passed away quietly surrounded by her family that day.She was 92 years young.It was so sad to so many of us,I didn't want to post about it,but she deserves all the blogs in her memory this last week.Tasha lived the life she wanted,on her beautiful little farm in Vermont,surrounded by the beauty of her flowers and beloved animals.She lived her life to the fullest in her way,a moment out of time in the world she created for herself,family and us.She took us into that world for so many years and has influenced thousands of women from all over the world.Her beautiful artwork,in hundreds of prints,cards and books,since the 30's.Now in stores,you can see her art on the cover of The Secret Garden and Little Princess,but her works have been treasured in homes,too numerous to mention them all here.Her art is beautiful,but it is her way of life,crafts and love of the way of life that has inspired and influenced thousands of us and she will live on for generations.

My Tasha Mood Tonight...

I picked some of my daisies today and felt in a Tasha Tudor mood tonight.I love her,so I made some rose tea,a piece of cinnamon raisin toast and thought how cool and colorful it all looked.So,I gathered it all up for a pic.The roses are a mix of my petals I've been collecting.Guess I was celebrating not having rain and storms tonight,it's almost a miracle.Be praying for all those who are enduring these storms,God Bless them.

Another...

For some reason,blogger only enlarges one pic to a post.These pics look cool when you push on them and they enlarge,so I'm making two post for these pics.

Good grief!!!

Here we go again tonight.The sky was pitchblack and storming...again...,but this is a pic of the lightning.I just kept taking pics till I got one that lit up.

Molly the Courageous...

No,she's not courageous,she's a big chicken.She freaks out when it thunders,everytime she hears it,she starts barking her little head off and especially with sirens blaring with the thunder.So this was her day today when she couldn't take it anymore,she hid and closed her eyes.

First she...

then she..

yes,this is her backside,the big sissy...

Finally,it was all over,she came out and slept like a baby...
