A few small things from my week that brought joy
and made me smile...
... the very first ripe peaches from
Blakelea's tree.
This special tree was planted
for our grandgirl after she was born.
Walking past moss roses and seeing
this gold star.
Smelling a wafty, sweet perfume and
discovering it's the stargazer lilies... blooming their purdy lil heads off.
-Another gift that Trent gave me long, long ago.
Watering and turning free our incarcerated pumpkin plants...
Seeing these big strong leaves; I can already taste
the punkin pie and bread.
doorknobs n bloomstiks.
I had never grown this type of sunflower before;
it was a seed pack gift from a friend!
And then there is
this!!!!!!!!!!!
Eeeeek... I lovelovelove finding hearts in nature.
If you make it bigger you can even see the cute lil nibbles.
After putting the chickens to bed last night I was walking through
the garden back to the house and leaving the raspberry isle it registered
what I'd just seen. I turned around and sure enough...
a critter chewed the cutest heart.
I ran inside to find my phone and went back to get the photo before
something messed it up. haha
When I got back inside I thought, "Now whyyy did I just leave it there?
So I went back again and carefully grabbed the cluster and
put it safely inside a book to dry.
When the day comes that I want to use it for a stencil... but ...I can't remember
where my safe place was...
could someone please remind me that it's in the old Draper's Self Culture book
on page: 211? lol
Thanks!
I sign off tonight with a scripture picture made using the
strawberry jar from my sweet Mama.
"But now, O LORD, you re our Father; we are the clay, and You are our Potter; we are all the work of Your hand." Isaiah 64:8
Feel free to use and share it if you like...

You found some sweet hearts in nature, a little critter even nibbled one on a leaf for you.
Hi Lea, what a lovely glimpse into your garden and all that is happening there with the fresh peaches, the gorgeous lilies and pumpkins growing well and I hadn't heard of doorknobs n bloomstiks but I would want to grow it just for the name, I love the colours.
What a find!! a heart in the leaf as if made specially for you...and that you get to keep it...you were meant to walk down through those raspberries, I can imagine your delight...truly!!
