Your beautiful garden had to be a big pick-me-up ~ I would think just walking around or looking at your pond would help you feel better? It sure would me! I could look at your pond for hours I think.<br />Anyway, glad to see your new posts ~ enjoy the sun and take care of yourself.<br />ps I'm waiting for some of my winter birds to return but also nervous for the hawks to show up along with them.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_kornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-32760625958867768572010-10-15T09:55:20.593-07:002010-10-15T09:55:20.593-07:00Hello Catherine...

I miss chatting with you guys!<br /><br />I heard rumors about the weather being a monster this winter as well" I hope this will never turn out to be the case! <br /><br />Winter has never been my favorite season/month...<br /> <br /> Poo" to all those forecaster's.<br /><br />I love the chocolate Joe pie-weed, Purple Linaria and Abraham Darby rose... It's nice to still have a few flowers around to prolong our smiles as we anticipate winter. <br /><br />My Cactus Zinnia's are still going strong, i really fail in love with them this summer, it's nice to have them around for this lenght of time. <br /><br />I see that the littlest gardener has done a great job on pollinating that lemon, how cool is that!<br /><br />Have a fantastic day!Vetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904220037223028054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-315185697999874422010-10-15T08:36:35.806-07:002010-10-15T08:36:35.806-07:00Oh, sorry to hear you were hurting for a while.

There's just too much to do to stop and take a drink! I too have had a little medical thing going on that is keeping me out of the garden right now, and yet it keeps on keepin' on without me. Sometimes we need to slow down and just "drink" in what we've worked so hard on. So drink in your garden, and drink some water!!<br />Take care :-)Toni - Diggin' in the Dirthttp://signaturegardens.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-72233061449941817582010-10-12T18:18:57.896-07:002010-10-12T18:18:57.896-07:00Sorry to hear you haven't been well Catherine....Sorry to hear you haven't been well Catherine.

It's a beautiful feeling to walk around your own little patch. <br />It <i>is</i> amazing how resiliant our gardens are - they just get on with it and await our return.
