I have spent a wonderful week at home working in my
garden and fluffing the cottage and my front porch.
I have been taking lots of vintage items and using them
in different ways. I love to rearrange just as you all do
and every time I do, the results just give me a fresh new
feeling!
Of course I have managed to work in a little bit of pink
because pink is one of my favorite colors. I have decided that
I need a new pair of pink clogs. I love to wear pink too!
I'm done fluffing for a bit and I am off to enjoy some parties ~
and of course
If you have not entered my giveaway yet, please do on my July 18th Post. I will
announce the winner on Monday, July 25th.
Bentley ~ I have so enjoyed being home with you all week.
I'll have to take another vacation again soon!
Lots of Love,
Susan and Bentley

I have lots of shade in my garden around the cottage, so
I am always looking for interesting things to plant. It's hard
because so many plants like sun. When I discovered these mini
hostas, I fell in love with them.
And mini ferns too ... so cute that the fairies must be
dancing!!
Bentley and I wish you a happy Monday.
Lots of love,
Susan and Bentley

To the left of the walnut tree trunk and behind the
deep ground cover ~ is a type of rose that grows up and
over the fence between my garden and the garden
next door where Amy's chickens live (ie Thelma and
the girls)
Here is my question ~ what type of rose is it? I did not
plant it, it was here when we moved in years ago. It only
blooms at this time of year and for a short time. My yard is in
deep shade, so it's not a sun lover at all. I'm quite sure it's a
type of rose because the bush has thorns and the buds look like
rose buds.
Neither Amy nor I do anything special for it. It is just
happy to be. It lives between two big black walnut trees
and I have been told that nothing likes to grow near black
walnuts, but the ground cover in the foreground and the rose bush
are quite content.
Any guesses?
Bentley is completely hidden in that ground cover and
is chasing cats through it daily. It's a full time job!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Time to party ~

I know Bentley ~ it's raining again!

Lot's of rain, but not much chance to work in the garden.
But ...
when I do get a chance, I know just what to wear!

An old Ralph Lauren pink t-shirt that's too worn to wear
anywhere else, but still makes me feel stylish.

All I need now is a day without rain!!
While I wait for gardening weather I am joining ~
and
Bentley is very busy chasing a cat out of our yard!
I can't even coax him inside with a treat!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley
