Have you ever felt like you have been pruned by The Master Gardener? All the dead stuff cut away, or perhaps the not so fruity parts of your life pruned and cut away so they can bare more fruit ? Well I have and so has my garden! I was thinking today how sometimes we have to cut away what seems to the eye a good product but pruning allows for newness to grow and everything looks different and feels different because it is.

My butterfly bushes are going crazy this year. I really cut them back and they are blooming out of their spaces this year. 🦋 Come on butterflies. 🦋💜 I’m hoping for the same in my life. 🙏🏼


Alex came out of the bathroom and asked me if I liked her hair. It’s been so hot I decided not to straighten mine, I looked at her I said, “Hi Skip.” She said, OMG we look like Grammy.” Yep 😂 We were channeling Skip today. 😂😂

I’ve always looked like my Mom which I love. It’s so funny to me that Alex looks like me, like I look like my Mom.

Here’s me without sunglasses and my hair curly. I don’t know why I thought that was funny but Alex sure got a kick out of it. We both called each other Skip. 😂
Watt over at Piers of Beauty and Gaze nominated me for
✿The Sunshine Blogger award.✿ I hope I’m doing this right. ☺
Here are the questions Watt requested we answer:
I’ve made so many lovely friends and read a lot of blogs on WP, I feel many make me feel sunshine so I would like to send this out to everyone who reads this. If you are here and we talk, visit and share I consider you a friend and it would be hard for me to choose one or a few!
Watt I hope that’s okay with you. Thanks for the award. Here’s a sunrise from my backyard for you! ✿ Have a beautiful day ✿

Hey Paul I was thinking about you and Mona and how much you love dancing and all that we experience in our lives. Don’t we just want another dance? I feel like that. I hope you know I’m here.
I truly believe this Paul with all my heart Mona is waiting for you. It’s such a beautiful thought to think that those we love will be waiting when we cross that bridge in life to spirit. I feel her now and always will she lives on through you and that’s a beautiful feeling Paul. I hope you hear my heart. ❤


Paul I’m so sorry about sweetest Mona. I love you my friend Paul. Thank you for always being with me and supporting me and I hope that I can support you in this time of true true loss. Much much love you ❤
This is one of my Pa’s favorite songs originally sung by Roy Clark, new rendition by Patricia Kaas. I remember as a young girl watching my Pa listen to this song sitting on the back porch, he with sunglasses on. My Pa knew somehow I would feel like he felt like I feel today I remember chasing his words to find some semblance of him. I don’t feel like time and youth had run out but I feel wisdom of age has taught me to not be stupid and even if I am it’s okay to do dumb stuff. Happy Father’s Day Pa…I never feel like you are gone.

And I thought I learned by now…and I did
When I find myself in same familiar circumstances
Going round and round on this fair ride
And I thought I learned by now…and I did
I can’t stop myself from watching and looking
I tried not to look, but it’s best for me to see
And I thought I learn by now…and I did
I don’t know who I was back then
Now my heart is older and I know it can break
And I thought I learned by now…and I did
Looking sometimes doesn’t hurt like it did
However that familiar sting reminds me that
I learned by now…and I did
I won’t forget

I like it when you SMILE~smile with Me
When you LAUGH~laugh with Me
Really there’s nothing else I’d rather do then
SMILE~HAPPY DAY~Smile~with You
