(I will have to post on it).<br /><br />Peaches don't last long in my home. I think maybe our season is a little longer than yours, but in the home they're here today gone tomorrow -- or at least until I pick up another basket.<br /><br />Looking forward to Rat, Mole, and Mr. Toad's whirlwind tour. That reminds me somewhere I have a little someone for you. Once I find him, (he was put away during the reno) I will have to ask you for your address again, so I can send him to you.<br /><br />Blessings!<br />DeborahThe dB familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170331499885879774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-57088960900174282982011-09-11T11:39:08.026-07:002011-09-11T11:39:08.026-07:00So jealous of your lovely luch Zinnias!

After diligently studying this morning I poured myself a glass of iced tea and took it with me as I walked down the long drive to the mailbox in the wonderful sunshine! I SO needed that. I visited with Homer the Border Collie and Penny the horse on the way and just breathed in the fragrant air. Oh yes, it's a necessity! :D<br /><br />I sure hope I'm part of The Wind in the Willows world tour. It's one of my favorites!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your joy today, Pom Pom!Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-77135119431085536052011-09-06T11:54:47.851-07:002011-09-06T11:54:47.851-07:00That book is a wanna have, looking so very darling...That book is a wanna have, looking so very darling!<br />Your flowers are pure happiness, cheery colors and lovely forms.<br />September hugs to you my friend xoxoxo~*~ saskia ~*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13118924143848205179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-62761514618294803242011-09-06T06:33:16.230-07:002011-09-06T06:33:16.230-07:00I'm listening... and I'm hearing.

I don't know exactly what it is, or what it means to be a participant, but I hope I can do it. What do you mean that the book will be traveling the world? Is it a copy of the book, or a different tome? As you see, I'm a bit lost. But I do adore that gorgeous arrangement you bought.

Oh, and I'm so looking forward to "The Wind in the Willows' event too!<br />p.p.s. Our peaches were so bad this year due to the awful heat and drought. I was so starved for good peaches that I brought home (from NC) a quarter bushel in my carry on bag. Good idea? No. Sadly, most got squished, but still had a few good ones.

And sunflowers and morning glories. It's as if we get a big bang of flowering glory this time of year, just before the fall really snaps down on us and we must kiss them all good bye.<br /><br />I love the practical advice that G. Tabor gives. She's so right on. I love my afternoon coffee break and it's amazing that life and work charges on even though we take a little time out.<br /><br />You've got Eternal Sparkle too, Pommy.
