A nice relaxing, and peaceful thursday :)
Hi angel friends! :) my family and i hope everyone is doing well, and having a nice thursday :) it's a much needed, relaxing, peaceful day today, taking it easy, after a very hot/humid day yesterday. i began to feel very exhausted, yesterday evening, and even felt a bit sore. i think i over-did it a bit yesterday, in the yard and gardens, and knew that i'd be needing to rest a bit more today :) i'm keeping in good spirits, and went outside a bit today, from time to time, to check in on the plants :) it's been partially sunny at times, but is thankfully less humid outside here today. :) my dad did some gardening today, he put some nice new stakes/poles in our garden, for the tomato plants :) he did really good, we love to stake up our tomato plants, so that the tomatoes keep above the ground :) it's been so cool, to see how much the tomato plants have grown, many tomatoes :)
my mom, dad, and i were checking the plants earlier :) i was so happy, to get a chance to show them the plants :) my mom is amazed, at how well the sunflowers have grown, and also our grapevines doing really well :) She said, "i can't wait to pick those grapes!" :) awww! :) We're really happy, and excited about how well the plants are doing :) They really are thriving, with the season :) the gardening journey this year, has been amazing, just like every other season :) each day, is like a new chapter in the garden season :) i've been enjoying the season, to the fullest, every day :) taking in, savoring the moments, that are blossoming many beautiful memories into our hearts :)
i love to see the sunflowers, growing the blossoms, and knowing that very soon, the sunny sunflower smiles will be greeting us in the gardens :) The plants really love the nice organic soil, we recently put around the stem bases of the plants :) they're flourishing nicely :) i'm gonna be gearing up, to give our plants a nice watering tomorrow :) We recieved some rainfall last night, which is so good, for the plants, and helping keep the plants nourished :) it's been nice today, resting up, and checking in on the plants from time to time :) i see lots of bumble bees, and butterflies visiting our yard :) it truly is, like a whole nature world out there :)
i've been mentioning to my family, and friends, about how much i love these cool postcard books i've been recieving :) i have recieved 2 of the books, so far, and have already began to write the cards :) i think it's so neat, to be able to mail postcards :) i'm so thankful i looked on amazon, and found many nice varieties on there :) i got that same feeling in my heart, and spirit, as when i go to the Christmas tree shop to stock up on greetings cards, which i want too very soon :) i saw some more books of postcards on amazon, that i'm planning to buy soon too :) it's gonna be awesome! : )i've organized all of the lighthouse cards, and next will sort through, the seaside/sailing themed cards :) i'm very happy and excited, about selecting the cards, to send to friends :) that's always been one of my favorite joys, when i see a card, or a treasure, that reminds me of a friend, it's a gift and treasure to my heart, and from my heart, that i love to send across the miles, from our home to yours :)
PRAYERS REQUEST. my family and i have a prayers request, for our dear friends Shirley (Squarley), her husband Bruce, and her family. Shirley's husband Bruce had a heart attack yesterday. Shirley came online today, and shared the news. Bruce is in the hospital, and had a surgery done, to put a stint into his arterty (my dad had the same procedure in 1996). Shirley is keeping us updated, i called her earlier this afternoon. Please keep Shirley, Bruce, and their family in your thoughts and prayers, and sending healing energy to them, for a full recovery. ALSO, please keep our dear friends Deb (Stardust), Brz, Lanie, and family in your thoughts and prayers. Deb texted me earlier, Lanie, who she is caregiver for, has been experiencing seizures. please send healing energy. Thank you angel friends. big group comforting friendship hug. we're all like a family here on ds, and during these times, it's very special how we can come together, to comfort eachother.

The pictures of your garden give me hope for better days ahead here. Next growing season is my focus as a goal to have some good garden times to come.

Yes, it is so easy to overdo when in the gardens. I hope you rest up well.

I send positive energy to all of us to have healing in all the challenges we face.
