Gnomes, Doors, and Girls

Hi Friends!  Thank you for all your sweet comments about my poem and my swimsuit thoughts in general!  Now, on to gnomes!  As you can see above, even mice like gnomes. 




Oh, and fairy/hobbit doors?  Don't you love them?



My fairy door (you saw it when I showed you the fairy bed) needs more flowers around it.  Every time I go to the store, with the intent of buying flowers, I can't find any I want.  I lack purpose.  Purpose next time:  the fairy garden.  We'll see how that works!

A great combo:  a gnome painting a bird!  LOVE!

Some of my anniversary sunflowers flopped so I hung them up.

Look at this delightful treat!  Amazon has way too many cheap used books and I find it quite tempting to click myself whatever my brain desires.  This is a visual wonder.  I love how Flora Thompson writes about hamlet life. 

Look at Miss Millie!  We call her Miiiiiii!  That's what her sister Bug calls her.  Isn't she a little lamb?

We had a taco salad dinner last night and the girls had a run in the grass.  They also had a good dig.  They spent quite a bit of time filling my watering can up with rocks.

Come on in and have a sit in the kitchen. I'll pour you a cup of something.  Tea?  Coffee?  Juice?  V-8? 

Bill is leaving London today, on his way to Munich.  Look kids!  It's Big Ben!

A British bank in honor of our singing all the Mary Poppins tunes together.

And a photo of OUR girls.  Today I am going up to see three more of my darling grands.  Finn is our only grandson.  Six girls, one boy!  He's a cutie and so are his lovely sisters.  I miss them so much and can't WAIT to be at their cozy house for a few hours.  I haven't been out of school a week yet.  That makes me feel like I have lots of summer left.  Woo hoo!  I'm a little scattered, not sure where to light down first.  What are you up to on this fine June day?  Thank you for stopping in.  I love it when you do.

Fun With Finn



Look at Finn! He's almost one! Last year at this time, we were waiting for his arrival. I can hardly believe that a whole year has gone by, summer (for me) is coming to a close and Finn has reached this milestone birthday so quickly. He has been pretty much a DREAM baby all year! He smiles, he sleeps, he plays, he rarely fusses. He's PERFECT!



Would you look at that face? Isn't he just completely NICE?



CB is VERY kind to her little brother, but he can certainly hold his own!



I filled the pool with cold water and when Finn's family arrived around 10 am, the sun had not warmed it up very much. He did not care! He floated around like a fish!



They just grow up so fast!



Gather around for the aquatics show!



And just when Finn is racing past his one year birthday, starting to walk and chase with the two girls, Samantha Rose will arrive in late November or early December and Granny will have yet another little bundle to love! I love being a teacher, but I love being a granny WAAAAAAAAAAAAY more!
