I love doing puzzles and what a bummer that it was missing 2 pieces! I really like the one you are starting as well. I am working on one that is a landscape of Greece.

Your puzzle sounds beautiful, Cindy. Yes, it is disappointing to come to the end of a puzzle and find a piece or two missing. I'm really enjoying the puzzle I'm working now! Thanks for visiting.

Hi Jill - I can't believe your puzzle was missing 2 pieces! We recently started putting puzzles out at the library for anyone to work on - it's so fun to see how many people stop and work on them! :)

Hi Barbara! We used to get a particular brand of puzzle from the Dollar Tree that were great quality. Once in a while a piece would be missing but for $1 we couldn't complain. Since DT no longer sells that brand, the puzzles we work cost a little more, so it's frustrating. Thankfully it doesn't happen to often. I saw the library puzzle on Twitter! That's a great idea! Thanks for stopping by.

Yes the library always used to have a puzzle out but we had stopped because of Covid. The puzzles are back and people always stop to do a little work!

I love that your library puts out the puzzles! Yesterday, I bought a Christmas puzzle at Hobby Lobby! LOL!

I gave up on jigsaws years ago because ours were always used and missing pieces! Lovely summer by you!

Fortunately, more of our puzzles have all of the pieces than not. I'm so hooked on them, I don't think I could ever give them up. They really relax my mind which is typically racing! Thanks for stopping by, Luanne. Sorry about sweet Tiger. xo

Hi Jill, I love all of the photos you have been sharing on Instagram. A brief respite of beauty and I find myself smiling. The video of the butterfly is enchanting and a great capture. I love “rescue” flowers. Amazing when you and Derek give it attention and tender care… a metaphor for relationships and life. Thank you for shining your light. ❤️

Congrats to the winners!

jill, your garden must be amazing! Your flowers are so beautiful. I'm always glad to see a butterfly anywhere. Sadly, I rarely see them here.

How frustrating about that puzzle!

Thanks, Linda! There are certain flowers and bushes that will attract the butterflies. I always enjoy watching them. Yes, it is frustrating to come to the end of a puzzle and have a piece or two missing. Of course, there is always a chance we are to blame. A follower on Instagram told me that once she and her husband were working a puzzle and later they went to relax on the patio. While outside, he noticed he had a puzzle piece stuck to his leg!

Love it when we can get bargains on plants others have given up on. Unfortunately here they won't sell them, but only put in the thrash. Such a waste!

Congratulations to the fortunate winners!

Oh no! That's a waste, Kay. So many of these only need water. I'm on a mission to save as many as I can. LOL! Thanks for visiting.

Beautiful flowers, Jill. How frustrating to get to the end of the puzzle and then find pieces missing! Good luck with the next one!

Thanks, Merril! Yes, it is frustrating to have pieces missing. Sometimes we'll have extra pieces. I guess mistakes can happen in the puzzle factory. :) Thanks for reading!
