What's Going On

 My hydrangeas are gorgeous this year, 
to me, they are the prettiest I have ever seen!


I have a total of 5 and I would like to get a few more.
They are easy to propagate, 
I have thought about doing that with my own plants, as they are so healthy and beautiful.



Driving around at the shore you see some pretty amazing vehicles, this one was gorgeous...
the era of cars I love, and it was restored beautifully!



Another interesting car I spotted with monkeys hanging in the back!
Completely open aired, I could imagine some young, cool dude driving around in it.


Parasailing is a popular activity here at the shore, this is a common sight in the sky by the beach.


My neighbors Magnolia Tree is blooming.
It does not seem to be getting a lot of blooms, these 2 flowers are up high but I am enjoying them.
The plant is close to the property line, I probably enjoy it more than she does.


I spotted my first Monarch Butterfly this season.
 I planted Milkweed last year and I only saw a few Monarchs.
This year, I planted 2 more plants, I am really hopeful they find them.


Leanne sent me the pattern for these dish towels, she knew I would like them, and I really do!
I needed some nice cotton yarn which I ordered from them and it has already arrived.
You just can't not love the internet and all the shopping options they provide.


This is the yarn I will be using, I really love it!

Recently, 
it rained all day and still the sky lit up at sunset, it was so unexpected, golden and spectacular to see.

Those are amazing flowers. That's a VW Thing, but I don't see many around these days. Glad you saw the Monarch! Linda in Kansas

Such a fun post, Debbie! Love your beautiful hydrangeas - they really are amazing. The cars are wonderful, and that home behind the vintage one is pretty spectacular, too. I hope the Monarchs find your milkweed plants! That sunset is so pretty. Tangerine skies! x K

hi there Debbie, love your pretty flowers! And those old cars in the old neighborhoods. I surely did enjoy the previous post, I think it was? Where y'all went to eat in the old dining car....wow, that was so neat! Their craftsmanship in their builds and their decor back then was amazing, I love to see it. Looks like y'all had a great time and the pictures of y'all are really good! And the food looked great too. Happy holiday, my friend, have a happy and safe one!

Absolutely gorgeous photos like always, Debbie. Stunning Hydrangeas.
The vintage is such a beauty and those hanging monkeys are awwwdorable.
What a treat to have the monarchs visit. I cant wait to plant a milk weed.
The Magnolia is enchanting too. Loved your ochre kissed sky.

A joy to visit your blog.
Have a great new month!
