Nor'ester

 

How did you make during the Nor'easter?

We are in Eastern Pennsylvania so we did get a lot of rain and wind but not nearly the flooding problems the east coast experienced.  We had a power outage for 5 hours on Saturday but otherwise, we made out pretty well.

Lucky hates this weather.  When we first got him, he went out in all weather.  Now he's become a full fledged poodle.  He loves toys, treats and sunny weather.  Like most of my poodles he doesn't want to step out in the rain.   He literally tries to drag me back into the house.  

I am hoping that you all are doing okay and haven't had flooding or other weather related problems.  Keep safe!

A Weird Flower Friday

 

Apologies.  

Normally I take photos or receive them and then transfer them to the computer.  This week, only one transferred and the rest... I have no idea where they went.

The only one that seems to have transferred and not disappeared is this one full of salvia and zinnias and very blurry. 😟

The rest of the photos seemed to have drifted off to space...

I'll try to do better next week.  We don't have that long until the first frost!

Have a safe and happy weekend!

Happy Autumn!

 

Autumn begins tonight and I think most of us are relieved.  It seems like everyone is dealing with hot and dry conditions this year.

Brad is beginning to recover from the round of cluster headaches he experienced.  Some days he had up to 7 headaches in 24 hours.  Fortunately, our GP had an impressive knowledge of this.  She readjusted his medication and he seems to be getting better.  He still can't drive and is hesitant to go anywhere (the headaches come on super fast).  But some progress is better than none!

I'm hoping to get some work done in the sewing room because the temperature has dropped (for now).  It's a nice 55 degrees (Farenheit) out.  

I hope you are all doing well and I hope to catch up on blogs and everything else soon.  

Have a safe and happy day! 

Flower Friday: September 18,2026

 

Autumn is quickly approaching and one can see it in the gardens.  Many flowers have faded but the ones that are shining right now are very vibrant! 

And there are always surprises!  Sue was surprised by this late blooming gladiola!

Here's a flower Sue said she calls a "False Sunflower"; she said AI called it a sunflower.

Thanks Sue!  💗💗

Marigolds are everywhere right now and catch my eye each time Lucky and I walk.  

We've also been noticing a lot of Morning Glories in the neighborhood.  I don't remember people planting them until this year.

Another great star these days is Celosia:

Have a safe and happy weekend!

Early Flower Friday

 

I don't want to post Flower Friday on 9/11 so I'm here a day earlier.

Sue sent this lovely photo of her Butterfly bush "in action"  😀

And also her perenial Ageratum:

Below is a neighbor's plant that I have admired.  It is called Begoina Angel Wing:

Anyway that is all for this week!

Have a safe and happy day!

Flower Friday: September 4, 2026

 

Happy Flower Friday!

Have you ever noticed how some plants come into their own in September?  Many of my neighbors have marigolds and this is the time of year they look fantastic!

The roses are coming back as well.  The seem to bloom the most in spring and autumn.  My neighbor told me the name of this rose but I can't remember it today :(  But it sure is lovely!

The zinnias are stunning but unfortunatley they are getting powdery mildew now:

That's it for this week!

Have a safe and happy weekend!
