Things that Made me Happy this Week
A lovely bouquet from my husband. A kitty returned in a rainstorm, the same kitty who walked across my keyboard while I was playing, improving the sound from piano to strings, now sitting on my lap, while I watch the hummingbirds. ~ Susanne
The Red Among the Lavender
Lavender was the star of the show in Sequim last week, but I found plenty of red, too, in the poppies and crocosmia. But the fields were mostly purple at Purple Haze Lavender Farm, and Jardin du Soleil. Did you know that Sequim, Washington… Continue Reading “The Red Among the Lavender”
Just a Walk in the Park with an old Canon
I love getting rid of ‘stuff,’ perhaps obsessively, so for the past few months, I’ve been on a decluttering mission. Unwanted items are disposed of, saved for garage sale, or taken to the Goodwill. Today, while going through some drawers, I came across my… Continue Reading “Just a Walk in the Park with an old Canon”
Back in the Pink
Last week at this time I was pretty miserable with whatever’s going around (I haven’t been that sick since covid.) But I’m finally back ‘in the pink’ so I’m here with a gallery to celebrate. Sharing with #SundayStills, Pink. That is all. ~ Susanne

You may remember I was so happy to see… Continue Reading “Happy Sunday Flowers – and my Ketchup and Mustard Rose”
Raindrops on Roses
This afternoon I went out to survey the garden and found little to celebrate. Except. for. this. one. little. rosebud. With raindrops hiding in its petals. And that was enough. I planted the ketchup and mustard rose earlier this spring but as sometimes happens,… Continue Reading “Raindrops on Roses”
Don’t Worry – Bee Happy!
For this week’s #Sunday Stills color challenge – ORANGE – I looked no further than my own back yard. And I squared all seven pictures for #SevenforSeptember. ~ Susanne
Seven Colors of the Rainbow
Did you know there are seven colors in the rainbow? I guess I did, though I forgot the specifics until I began to look for sevens, for #SevenforSeptember. We don’t get many rainbows here in the Great Northwest though we do get lots of… Continue Reading “Seven Colors of the Rainbow”
