I can't wrap my mind around that, for rarely do I stick with one thing for eight whole years.
But there you go.
No special words today--I'm feeling like, in eight years, I've already told you everything I know. :)
Instead, let's celebrate with a few photos of my Prayer Garden. Oh, how s-l-o-w-l-y it's coming along, due mostly to all this turn-me-into-a-zombie humidity. But today is lovely so I made two (two!) trips to Home Depot after even shopping at the supermarket and Dollar Tree.
What a difference low humidity makes. What. A. Difference.
But anyway, here you are... a few peeks at what I have going so far, everything in a state of being unfinished, but oh well.
Okay, one of my longest-time readers, (Hi Betty!) asked me to label the plants in these photos. So, around the flagpole I've got marigolds which are just barely hanging in there--I'm thinking the concrete bakes the poor things. To the left are mostly tomato plants (four of them), with a few green onions which I, like every year, transplant from a few I buy at the supermarket (I just clip the tops as they grow.)
Petunias and an empty pot. :) Oh, and peonies down below.
More petunias... (I move these babies around to sunny spots each day, because that corner gets barely any.)
And lets' see... Daylilies in the left-hand corner, hot peppers on both sides, forget-me-nots in front, a miniature rosebush in the back right and there are tiny flowers which I've been digging from the lawn and transplanting. I've been meaning to ask you what they are--I'll take a close-up of them later.
The aforementioned green onions.
Miniature roses in the pot, daisies to the left, some of which I also dug up from the lawn (man, all sorts of stuff grows in our lawn, everything, really, except for grass! :)

Today I finished reading my cloud reader book, Charlotte Figg Takes Over Paradise by Joyce Magnin. Loved it! Must. Find. Other. Books. By. This. Author.
Then I began Texas Roads by Cathy Bryant and the first few pages have been delightful, indeed. Shows promise.

A very special thank-you to all of you who have encouraged me by reading here for years!

Awww, congrats on 8 years of writing here. It's July 25th, so even though you're not crazy about Christmas, I am, and your blog is like Christmas in July for me (and all year round, actually). It's the gift that keeps giving. xo
Congratulations Debra. Love the garden. Never met a plant I didn't like. Weeds need not apply. Onward and upward.
