Hi angel friends! :) sunny greetings from our garden, on this beautiful sunday! :) the summer sun is shining bright today, and our plants are soaking it up :) This morning i heard lots of birds all around our yard and neighborhood as i was putting goodies all around our yard, and checking in on the plants :) the weather is beautiful, and these golden days of the season are shining :) my family and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a great day :) there's lots of great things going on :) it's been so exciting to see the golden finches, and also the hummingbirds flying right outside my window here, to get seeds and nectar from the sunflowers :) It's an awesome time in the season :)
Each morning, we've had some wonderful waves of beautiful morning glory flowers blossoming in our yard and garden :) It's so nice to see them blossoming :) i've began to harvest some morning glory flowers seeds too :) after the flowers blossom, there's some seeds pods that are on the vines. :) once those seeds pods dry, i like to put the seeds into a jar, to save until next season for replanting :) We've had so many beautiful morning glory flowers blossoming, it's awesome to be able to harvest some seeds too :)
It's so neat, and super cool to see some awesome halloween pumpkins and gourds growing in our garden :) one of our pumpkin plants has grown all the way across our garden fence, to the other side of our garden, and it's now near our grapevines, and there's 2 pumpkins growing on that one vine :) one of the pumpkins is approaching the size of a golf ball, and is gonna continue to grow :) it's so awesome to see! :) We also have some gourds growing for fall, halloween season :) It's a wholesome time in the season, as i've been picking crisp fresh string beans :) they're delicious! :) i love string beans :)
Our popcorn plants are doing great too :) the cobs are growing more and more :) i've been putting some miracle grow plant food on the stem bases of the plants, and it's helping them grow and grow :) the plants look very healthy,and happy :) We have many sunflowers blossoming all around our yard, and gardens :) it's really neat to see :) we have golden yellow, and burgundy sunflowers :) It's such a thrilling joy to see the bright sunflowers, and them soaking up the sunshine :) smiling and shining! :) i love it! :) we have lots of marigolds, snowball bush blossoms, our wildflowers, and aster flowers are blossoming too :) The gardening season journey is so nice, and is bringing lots of very special memories to always cherish, and treasure :) i gave our plants a nice watering today :) the plants soaked up the water nourishment :) one of the mammoth sunflowers in our front yard needed a little support :) i used a support stake to prop up the sunflower, so that it's standing taller. :) the sunflower is huge, and the seeds make the sunflowers get top heavy. They're really incredible plants :) It's gonna be s nice, having some awesome garden sunflower seeds, they're one of my favorite snacks :) i got some extra jars in our greenhouses too, where i'm putting seeds for next season :) we'll definitely have many sunflower seeds to plant next season too :)
Lots of great nature, and soon we'll be transitioning from summer to fall season :) The trees will begin to change colors nicely next month this time :) i'm loving all of the nature experiences, and seeing so many cool sights :) i love writing about my nature, and gardening adventures, and i've been taking lots of pictures all summer :) i've got close to 600 pictures and about 20 videos i've made this summer, that i want to share with everyone :) i'm very hopeful DS will add the pictures upload feature soon, so that we can share pictures, and also include videos in our journals :) It's gonna be so nice! :) i also want to write about/take pictures of some beautiful treasures my family and i have recieved in the mail, including some lovely cards we've recieved this summer season :) there's so much more, to look forward too :)

Darling Chris , happy to read your journal and all the wonderful news you have about the garden, family, cannot believe that Mike is going to kindergarten ,such a big boy, yes next week we are going into September, time is just going too fast.
Happy to hear that the Bluejay was well, here its been sad ,yesterday and today the magpie took 2 sparrows chicks, I do all I can to look after them but it happens, today this large cat was hiding in the birds sanctuary ,I saw it and went with the mop to scare it and it ran and I gave it a good wollop, it ran away quickly, its been a bad time lately, I have been tired of been used, treated bad, taken advantage, I am honestly at the end of patience, I am sorting things out and standing up for myself.
You give your Mom and family my best wishes, happy day to all, joy, peace, sunshine **
My grandson had a virus for over a week, started with him being sick, he seemed well but again he had swollen eyes, he had to be taken to er, he is better ,but its been a worrying time, didn't feel like being here, also been resting a lot with the fibro and feeling so tired, been having pain in my left leg, knee, the weather has been hot and it affect me, I like the sunny weather but not the heat.
Its late here and I going to get ready for bed, tomorrow here its a holiday, Lici is staying here, Charlie is happy to have company, today cooked some sweet potatoes sliced with a bit of olive oil and herbal salt in the oven ,love sweetpotatoes, had this pastry speciality from greek cuisine, it was nice, filled with feta cheese and leeks.
Have a wonderful day, enjoy every moment, love you**
