I continue to be amazed at your green thumb. I've seen those discounted flowers at stores and sometimes think, "How could anyone resuscitate this?" But you can!

Hi Betsy! I never really thought I had a green thumb, but I've been enjoying plants and flowers more the past several years. You might surprise yourself if you pick up a discounted flower. Some only need a tiny bit of TLC. Thanks for stopping by!

Congrats to Marie Bailey! I love the latest plant you have rescued. I used to do that when I worked for KMART (eons ago) and they had dying plants. Thanks for the lovely newsletter!

Hi Cheryl! I'm happy to hear you used to rescue plants too. It's really sad to see them on "death's shelf." Some only need to be watered. I'm happy you enjoyed the newsletter today. Thanks for stopping by!

Congratulations Marie Bailey and enjoy.

Jill you have made quite a loyal pet with Donald. Your hummingbird will soon be heading back south but for now he’s filling up for his journey. Thanks for your newsletter .

Hi Shirley! It's so nice to see you. I was thinking about you the other day. I hope you and your family are doing well. Oh yes, Donald is a daily visitor. She is so funny. One minute she's no where to be seen and the next she just appears! I'm not quite ready to let these cute hummies migrate. It's lonely after they leave. Thanks for stopping by today! Keep in touch.

Good Morning Jill! Congratulations to Marie. I’ve been watching the hummingbirds on my flowers this morning. Aren’t they fascinating. Wish I could dig into those puzzles with you. Have a blessed day.

Hi Lucy! I'm happy you're enjoying the hummingbirds too. They are starting to get more combative over the feeders. Yes, they are fascinating! If my recent puzzle didn't have a missing piece, I'd mail it to you. It was really fun. Thanks for stopping by! xo

You are so good at that plant rescue undertaking. I know they appreciate it. I think missing pieces is why I don't do puzzles. It would frustrate me to no end. If I have a piece of a quilt puzzle missing, I can make another piece. ;) You have more patience than I. Good luck with the next one.

I enjoy saving these flowers. It's sad to see them line up on the shelf just waiting. It's nice to see them perk up! LOL! Yes, it is frustrating to get to the end of a puzzle and find out your short a piece or two. This used to never happy. I hope your new home is coming along. Thanks for stopping by!

You and Marie are journal twins! Thanks, Linda. As you know, it's been a long wait. :) Yes, missing pieces are frustrating. It's really started happening more in the last couple of years. We used to do tons of puzzles and never had a missing piece. I guess the puzzle factories aren't managed as well. Thanks for stopping by!
