Our plants are blossoming in our garden, like 4th of July fireworks blossoming in the sky :) it's amazing to see, how much the plants have grown :) The zuchinni plant leaves have grown a lot :) We have tomatoes, snap peas, cucumbers growing, and our string beans plants and potato plants are flourishing :) Holly and i look forward to harvesting potatoes later on this summer season :) We're very happy and excited to be picking some nice cucumbers, and snap peas, they are nice, and garden fresh :) The snap peas are sweet :) We look forward to harvesting lots more :) Holly's gonna plant some more carrots seeds :) we hope to grow at least 5 or 6 carrots :) We're looking forward to all of the harvesting of fresh garden goodies : )Holly and i want to make some homemade, sweet bread and butter pickles :) We've got some mustard seeds, and other spices, to make the pickles :) it'll be great making a jar soon :) we want to use the same ingredients we used when we made the pickled banana peppers, and will use more sugar, to sweeten the pickles :) Our pepper,s pumpkins and gourds plants are doing great too :)

It was a peaceful morning :) Thank you angel friends, so very much for all of your heart-felt comments, comforting and uplifting care, support, and warm well wishes :) it means the wordl to me :) i'm so glad, and thankful i wrote a journal this morning, it helped me a lot, and it's very comforting and uplifting knowing you all are there for me :)it helps to write, it's always been theraputic for me :) writing helped me also, in collecting all of my thoughts, feelings, and emotions ,so i can be fully focused, and write the way i love too, with spirit soaring sharings about good times, and good days :) i'm taking everyone's comforting and uplifting support, care, guidance, encouragement to my heart, and will definitely set some good healthy boundaries, when it comes to helping family. i usually do well, when i help one family member financially, but when 2, or 3 members or more need money, it really drains me emotionally, and then when i get disrepected, not treated fairly, it makes me regret helping. i'm going to work on things, and putting myself first. Holly and i enjoyed our breakfast this morning, and having some hot tea, water, iced coffee, and also having our powerades :) a good share :) Lisa did pick up 2 iced coffees this morning ,for Holly and i :) We appreciate it very much :) little things like that, are very big emotionally :) i'm so glad i was able to treat Holly to a nice iced coffee, on the 4th of July :) She and i both thanked Lisa :) it's a really good thing, to have moments like that, where we can feel comfortable, and knowing from time to time, maybe she could pick up an extra iced coffee for us :)
A Good update :) Hi angel friends :) i just wanted to share, my mom talked with my dad, and he took some time to check the light fixture/switch and noticed, that the switch is going back for the light fixture. we're so glad, and thankful my dad checked the light switch/fixture :) it's good knowing, that we'll be able to switch the light switch, which will help the light fixture work for our hallway :) it's very important, as the hallway gets dark, and we need to be able to see it, we also have the nice lamp/light right now, until we fix the switch :)
4th of July Coins!!! :) hi angel friends :) i'm very heart happy and excited to share with everyone, about some cool coins i bought today :) i was feeling very bad yesterday, about passing up the opportunity to buy a rare coin i wanted to buy. i'm still keeping an eye on that rare coin ,but today i bought some other coins, that will be arriving soon :) i've been wanting to buy some coins, on the 4th of July :) Today on ebay, i treated myself, to the new, Kentucky Blue Grass State, Innovations Dollar Coin ,i also bought the new, 2022 P&D mints, Kennedy half dollars coins, and i also bought a presidential dollar coin, featuring Dwight Eisenhower :) the coins were very affordable :) i'm very happy i treated myself, and the coins will be arriving soon :) i like to do things like that, during holiday's, buying a few coins every now and then :) i'm definitely keeping an eye on some 1886 Liberty V nickels too :) i'm willing to buy one, as long as it's for a fairly good price :) i think i'll buy it soon :) it's been a while since i've treated myself to a rare coin like this one :) i'll definitely keep everyone updated on my quest to buy the coin, and will take pictures of my new coins when they arrive :) Happy 4th of July collectibles shopping smiles :)

Soo happy you had a great day & your mom & dad invited you out for lunch. Mmm seafood is my favorite! Great pictures. Love Holly"s creations, cool! Glad you treated yourself to some coins. Thumbs up!
I used to have a circle of red poppys at the farm. Oh sometimes I miss it soo much. Apple trees too. Traded it for nature. I was so close to my bunny today. He visits every evening about the same time. He scooted off before Henri got the scent. Henri"s nose was to the ground, lol!
Good start to get the respect & balance back! Thanks for sharing your day!
Hugs!
Brooke & Henri
Nice that you got to go out and have fun on your road trip adventure! :D I've never had lobster rolls I hope you enjoyed them. I love Hollys craft for Tiger. I hope she is not bothered by any fireworks that might go off in your area tonight. I love the garden shots. :D
Hi Sweet Chris, I'm glad u & Holly were invited by your mom & dad to go on a car ride to Captain Scotts near the water & they treated u both to lobster rolls & coleslaw & u enjoyed & it was nice to be near the water & u saw historic sites. It's also nice that your dad checked the light switch & figured out the problem & will fix it & nice Lisa picked up two iced coffees for u & Holly this morning & u got iced coffee on your way home from the road trip. It's so nice u treated yourself to some new affordable coins for your collection & u want to be a certain coin if it is at a price u agree on. That's nice that you got more sunflowers thanks to the birds dropping the seeds that were left on the feeder into the ground. That's nice that the birds will enjoy the sunflowers. I'm glad things were better today. I hope it will continue & u will have good days & your family will be more respectful of you. You deserve it. You are a very nice person & it's very nice of you to help them out when they have needed help but they should be nice because you deserve it. Hugs & love FF
P.S. I like all the pictures you posted also. Hugs & love FF
