New flowers and a dog tale

I first must tell of my horrible experience with a dog last night. Actually it was a puppy. He ran out in front of me and hit my car head on while not being supervised by his owners. When we left him, he seemed to be beaten up and scraped, but would be okay. My daughter told me he could have a concussion and internal injuries not visible to us at the time. I hope the little guy lived. I really do. The stupid owners need to either chain them up or put up a fence! My heart was broken and my nerves shot! I dreamed about hitting him over and over again. This made me wonder why things like this happen. Was I being slowed down to avoid a tragedy of my own? Or a wake up call to the owners? Who was supposed to receive this message? I have a dog of my own and I try very hard to protect her like a child. I hope their child did not die over night.
Now to happier things. My flowers. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoy them in my garden. They will always bloom in pictures and bring me great joy in my garden.Don't forget that you can click on the thumbnails and see the bigger picture!

I am finishing up a present for a dishcloth/towel exchange. I hope to have pictures soon. I have one knitted cloth, a knitted & crocheted towel and a crocheted cloth. I am so excited. I am on the last one and it goes fast so maybe the next day or so I can post them. I am finishing up a hat and several bags to photograph to share. I have so many places I share pictures, that I forget to leave them in some places. I will try harder.
Ed's brother is here visiting and we have had some laughs. I took his Mother to see the angels while she was here & last night we took him. That is a great sight for anyone visiting Fort Worth. Of course I have a picture to post & will maybe tomorrow!

All of this post was typed while the cat was on my desk annoying me because he can. I hope something makes sense as I had to erase all that he typed. LOL! Dan says hi to everyone even though he spelled it "8yrhen739502[x."

Be well & be blessed every day!

Flowers

In looking for reasons to smile and be happy today, I decided to capture my flowers forever in pictures. I am so excited to share them. I am not much of a gardener, but women in my family have had green thumbs before me and I hope to add a little plant life to this earth and help cool it down & provide oxygen. As I plant my trees, shrubs, and flowers, I reflect on life and its meaning. I doubt any of us ever know our true purpose or when/where/how our journey will end. I wonder sometimes if I want to know or do I just want to have fun along the "Yellow Brick Road". Isn't that what Dorothy learned so long ago? Experience life along the way, make friends you can depend upon and know that home is where you can return and feel safe and warm. My flowers anchor my personal roots. My soul does not live in Texas. It stays here with me because I still have part of my journey here. I know my soul flies over the mountains to breathe in the cool crisp air then comes back to me refreshed. Look at my beautiful flowers and reflect on their beauty and connect them to your life. Let them make you happy and refresh your soul. My cousin's funeral was today. I could not be there. My sadness is very deep and still hurts more than words can say, but she loved to have flowers and vegetables etc, and I know she understands I found some peace in my flowers....with her there blessing my efforts.
Please enjoy!
Be blessed & be well.

I dont know what the flowers above are, but I love their beautiful color. They seem to like a lot of water and I need to give them some Miracle Grow. Maybe that will make them happy too!

More Dirt under my nails!

Today was a cloudy & overcast day. I had purchased some bulbs and needed to get them in the ground. since my sprain in my right wrist, I have been unable to use my good digging arm like I would enjoy doing. I used the next best thing. The most wonderful man a girl could have in her life. My Ed dug all of the holes for me and planted my Dalias, Star gazer lillies, and a purple clematis. My clematis was placed in the hole where the dead wisteria was. We left the wisteria in there for the clematis to climb on. I hope it will be pretty along the fence and on those old dead vines. Maybe I can get another wisteria for my yard, I sure miss the one I tried to transplant. I had never handled dalias before and I am told that my Grandmother was a pro with them. I hope they grow and spread and come back fuller every year. The lillies are for my daughter. If they come up, they will be a big surprise for her. She loves them and so I wanted to make her smile a bit. I am almost finished with the purple purse. I need to make a handle and then I will showcase it here. It is made from recycled plastic bottles so I say keep drinking from them, recycle and make me more yarn!!! *smile*
My current project is a red suede purse. I am running a strand of nylon along with it for strength which is lending a bit of design to the bag. It will be a while before it is done, but I am trying to get it done.
I am also working on a potato bag, a baby blanket, and who knows what all.
I just want to virtually say thank you to my hunnie Ed. He does so much for me and is just the best gift I could have received in my life. The house is slowly starting to look like a girl lives here...hehehehehe.
Thank you my love!!! You are the best!!!
Be well and be blessed.
