Yesterday was such a good day! One for the record books.
* Lovely weather
* Family helping with yard work, getting things trimmed and tidied, and enjoying being outside together
* A bonus of a few extra, unexpected hours to play with Sugarwings
* The look of joy on my fairy grand baby's face when she saw the new additions to the Fairy Berry Trail
* A thoughtful, surprise gift in the mail from a reader (thank you, Susan!!)
* Giant mums in bloom, on sale for only $5.99 (I bought 6!)
* A delicious meal whipped up from our garden, by my son
* The happy anticipation of getting ready for the big family reunion this weekend
* A furry friend, who is always happy even when I have to pick tons of burrs from her silky hair.
* Time to spend in the studio making up some pretties
.

that does look like a wonderful day Karla…poor little burr baby…that reminded me of Mr Madison when he still belonged to the neighbors…they had him as an outside cat…and his long fluffy fur was always loaded with burrs…
It does sound like a wonderful day! Your garden is absolutely incredible! Really amazing!!!

Gosh, I can’t get over how much Sugarwings has grown. She is a beautiful little girl.
Days like those sometimes seem too few and too far between, don’t they?!!? Your dog has the sweetest face and I can tell that’s one spoiled baby!! Have a great nite.
