Hi Jill - I love these flowers! I have always loved vincas and what a bargain. Also the way you describe your overachieving orchids made me smile. I like the way you strive to keep things simple. It's really important to focus on a few things and not get too distracted by everything else that tries to demand our attention. That planner looks terrific - a full calendar view is also a must for me!
So sorry to hear about Donni's nest. Makes me sad. Happy to hear the good news about your new story in WW! I'll look for it. I make plans every morning and write them down in my morning pages, By the end of my first cuppa, they have gone in the bucket. Being adaptable is the key to my life. Keeping life simple is essential as well. Love the Vinca video. The mug, even more so. :)
Yes, it was sad. She seems to be okay. Perhaps you need another journal for your morning pages? I think being adaptable is good for everyone to practice. The mug sits in my writing room on the lovely mug rug you made for me. :) Thanks for visiting, Marlene!
Beautiful, Jill -- your flowers, your message of simplicity, your hopefulness. It's always a joy visiting with you at your home. I'm sure your proposal will be accepted, how could it not? 💗 You are a blessing... 🤗
Hi, Jill - Your flowers are absolutely stunning. Congratulations on the upcoming publication of your new 5-minute romance. Good luck on your proposal to Harlequin. Please tell them that I am patiently awaiting more reads from you!
Such pretty blossoms! “Keep it simple” is definitely the way to go. Thanks for sharing your thoughts…and beautiful pictures. Congratulations on another WW story!
Thank you, Sherida! I know you prefer to keep things simple. It really makes life less stressful, doesn't it? Thank you so much! I had fun writing this story. The shorter tales are a good workout for my brain. :) I hope you and the family are doing well! xo
I totally agree with you, Jill. The busier life becomes, the more important it is to keep it simple. Loved the video! Gorgeous photos of the other flowers as well. Fingers crossed for acceptance of your new proposal! Have a great week!
Thanks, Jan! I'm happy you enjoyed the video. It is important not to allow ourselves to get overwhelmed. It certainly doesn't help my productivity. Thanks for the crossed fingers. Enjoy your week!
Good morning from Ottawa 🇨🇦 I only by the plants that are on discount because they need TLC and they flourish. Before I was hit by a car and now live life from my wheelchair I used to drive through the back country roads with a shovel and dig up plants from the ditches. The neighbors would always tell me how envious they were of my garden asking me where I found my plants and how I kept them looking so good and I'd tell them one day at a time and where I found them .😉😊Kat
Oh my word, Kat. I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. You're right about the discount plants needing TLC. Sometimes it's as easy as a little water. It makes me feel good to bring them back to life. Thanks for visiting from Ottawa!
Congratulations on that sale! Looking forward to more good news from you!
What beautiful flowers! I had never heard of balloon flowers before seeing them on your newsletter. They are spectacular! All of your flowers are beautiful! And how cool that you got those flowers for $2 each! (Yes, I looked at the video.)
Thanks so much, Linda! You know how much I enjoy writing these short stories.
I stumbled across the balloon flowers not really knowing how gorgeous they would be. What makes them even better is they are perennials, so we get to enjoy them year after year. I think they actually look better this year than last. You can't go wrong strolling down the clearance aisle!

Thank you, Donna! LOL! I'll be sure to tell HQ. :) I was happy to see your photos yesterday! Enjoy!
I am not organised people just think I am
LOL! Nothing wrong with that!
I do admire an organised person, Jill. That's far from my capabilities.
LOL! You don't need to be organized, Jo. You live in paradise!
You have such a breautiful garden, Jill!
Thank you, Linda! I'm trying to attract every hummingbird in North Carolina! :)

Beautiful view, Jill! I love your focus.
Thank you, Luanne! I try to stay focused. Social media was really stealing mine, so I had to step back. Have fun with the contest!
I love the mantra Keep It Simple, which motivated me to clean up my writing desktop on Friday> Have a great week!
I did the same on Saturday, Marian. KIS is a great mantra to follow. Why would we want to make things so difficult? Have a great week ahead!
pretty flowers
