Always enjoy your newsletters, especially hearing about your rescue plants. Donald looks like she's wearing a crown of zinnias! Summer is my least favorite season as I'm not a hot house plant. Autumn can be too warm for me too. I prefer winter and spring. but that's only because I live in Southern California! Cheers, Roslyn.

The butterfly, the flowers and the gecko are all fabulous photos! Summer is way from over for us here, in Texas, but this too shall pass. :) Thanks for sharing the books!

Thanks, Jan! I know you all are still sweating it out in Texas. Hopefully, you'll get a break soon, We'll still have several weeks of hot weather, so I'm enjoying it while I can. Thanks for popping by! xo

Congrats to Dora, the winner, and YOU! I’ll never stop being impressed with your productivity, Jill 🙂 And your zinnias ... would you believe I’ve only recently started growing zinnias? I just happen to see a lovely bunch at our favorite nursery and grabbed them. They definitely bring wonderful color to our deck.

Thank you so much, Marie! You're right about the zinnias bringing great color. They should also be attracting more hummingbirds for you. I appreciate your visit! xo

I'm so impressed by your flower rescue abilities! I WISH I had a green thumb! Adorable lizard. And I love that Donald has become your pet. :) Congrats to Dora!

Thanks, Betsy! So many of the rescues only need some water and a little TLC. I think a lot of stores don't have the employees to take care of them properly. Yeah, well Donald tried to fly into our kitchen this evening! LOL! Thanks for visiting. xo

Tried to fly into your kitchen! Yikes, Donald. Were you hoping to eat Jill's dinner, or be Jill's dinner?

Hi Jill, what an amazing video of a butterfly. I can never get that close to them even with my x15 zoom. Our winter is ending and we are in spring.

Thanks, Robbie! My guess is the butterflies are "drunk" from the nectar and they don't even realize I'm there. :) They don't seem to get scared away by my phone. I'm jealous you're heading into spring, but happy for you. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by. xo

You need to lead with Donald updates. Otherwise, I scroll through quickly, to see how he's doing. Whew! All good news. Love the butterfly, the critter--will grab the new book when it's closer. Otherwise, it will get lost in my Kindle library!

Donald would definitely prefer the lead, Jacqui! Oh, I know the feeling about the Kindle library. Mine is bursting! I thought about you this morning...having major technical difficulties. Thanks for reading!

Love the flower and the critters! Loved seeing Donald's photo bomb picture. <3 For some reason, this year was a horrible year for zinnias for us. Planted lots of seeds, but only a few came up. Thankful for them because of all those that love to eat off of them - including the American Goldfinch that love the seeds.

Some wonderful sounding books. I'd love to read them all, but super excited about the release of THEIR INSEPARABLE BOND!

Thanks, Kay! I'm sorry to hear about your zinnias. Thankfully you have a lot of other flowers to enjoy. Yes, Donald likes to be in the spotlight! Thanks for visiting today. xo

I love the butterfly appreciating the rescue zinnias! I'm with the gecko on trying to soak in every last bit of summer.
