Love the way Donald wiggles her tail in excitement! And your bargain trailing vinca is beautiful! Since I’ve reviewed all your books, I can’t help with your industrious cleaning project, but I’m sure new readers will LOVE helping. Yay, YOU…..for writing books and getting things done this summer! Enjoy your garden, Donald and the hummies!

A lot of good stuff in this post, Jill. Congrats to Kristin for being a winner! Love the rescue plant--I knew you were patient and that is proof. But the best of all is Donald wagging his tail feathers. They don't do that! Except, I guess they do!

Yes, Donald likes to shake her tail feather when she's happy! :) This plant didn't need too much TLC. It was a steal for $1.00! Thanks for stopping by today, Jacqui!

We have ducks like your Donald in our preserve. We call him the ugly Duck. I'd love to have one of those Fringe notebooks.

Here's to hummingbirds and your magical writing space, Jill!

Congratulations to the winner! And congrats to you on your summer cleaning!

You got that plant at the Dollar Tree?? Wow!

One dream I have is for people to read the stories I produce. 😄 Have a great week!

Jill Weatherholt's avatar

Thank you, Linda! I'm trying to clear out some stuff.

Oh no. The flower came from Walmart, but our Dollar Tree raised their prices to $1.25, so my plant was cheaper. :)

Your dream will come true! Thanks for visiting.
