or… a belated Blogiversary to me!
Summer, family vacation, no phone service and six weeks of trying to fit in as much outdoor stuff as possible into the short bursts of time between heavy downpours and electrical storms, left me without celebrating five years of smatterings. August 1st. came and went phoneless and therefore without internet. I imagined my post and have forgotten it in the succeeding slip slide days of walking in a soggy woods, dragging logs that must be this year's fire wood. As I sit here this morning, I can hear the road crew digging, replacing the culvert with a new and bigger one that can carry away the torrents that we have been having more and more of this summer. The weather is hard the garden. Green plants love it, fruits and veggies, not so. Even the trees seem confused by it all. The hills are dotted with maples already showing color. Too little light, too much water, and very cool temps. I haven't had the down comforter off the bed in two months. Summer is summer, whatever the weather and tradition has it that we have high tea in a beautiful garden during vacation, even if it is in the rain. I swear that these plants are real, I was not eating mushrooms, just scones and cream. Here's proof that Mother Nature is one step ahead of our imaginations.

Hey, happy blogiversary! I’d been wondering where you were.
Wonderful plant photos!
Happy blogiversary!
Beautiful pictures! Welcome to my jungle (Louisiana style winter is what you have described).
Congratulations on five years of blogging. I look forward to your posts.
Seems that no matter how fantastically we dream, reality is always so much better. 🙂
Happy blogiversary!
Happy blogiversary! Here’s to many many more!
Happy Blogiversary to you! Wonderful pictures! Is that echinacea in the bottom pic?? Such straight strong stems.
What a beautiful set-up! Just as lovely as anything Jane at Yarnstorm does! I especially love the glasses on the table and the foxglove in the distance. What a wonderful garden you have!
Marvelous pictures – those last flowers are positively surreal. Happy blogiversary (I’ve missed all of mine to date)!
Good heavens! Has it really been five whole years? That’s simply amazing. Congratulations to you, and don’t stop, please! 🙂
Happy Blogiversary, Judy. I do so enjoy reading.
Happy Belated Blogiversary!
The tea table looks beautiful…(all that is missing is the Mad Hatter and a white rabbit!)
Happy Bloggiversary!!!
Happy blogiversary!
I still like the wet more than drought, which seems to be our set of choices. I can picture the firewood gathering. *squish*squish*
Here’s to another five years and many many more high teas! Pip pip and cheery quite ho!
Happy Blogiversary to you from Athens! I hate to think the state of my veggie garden when I return on Sunday. Powdery mildew has probably eaten my poor beans and cukes alive! And the lawn after 2 weeks must be a tall meadow.
