It's summer time and I hate to go out looking as if I have put on makeup. I want to add just enough color to make me look healthy! I do have a thing about benefit products... and the scent is so summery too! Reminds me of my grandmother's rose garden!

Not Happy With Birds This Morning!

I know that a lot of people love to sleep with their window's open, for the fresh air and the night sounds. Okay, the night sounds might be able to lull you to sleep, but it is the early morning sounds that woke me up at 5 a.m. this morning and I have yet to even take a nap. It's mid afternoon and I'm barely able to keep my eyes open. I know that a lot of you are probably saying... so take a nap already. I know that might sound like a good idea, but I'm one of those people who can't sleep during the day! I wish I could!! My dad used to crawl into bed right after lunch and sleep for at least a few hours. Me... I wake up feeling worse than I did at breakfast.

If I can just hold on until bed time, I think I will be ready to start a brand new day! Just can't wait until this day is over... and that window... stays shut!

Quotes About Morning... Nasturiums...the prettiest blossom in your garden

"The first flower that blossomed on this earth was an invitation to an unborn song."
Rabubdrabatg Tagore

Did You Know...  that nasturiums give off the most amazing scent. Had no idea before we planted about a zillion seeds.  I am pretty sure that we have every color on the planet... and the scent from one patch is drifting right upstairs through the bathroom window. *At the end of the season, lift up the plant and you will find fist fulls of seeds to store in envelopes for the following year... but don't get carried away lol!! You really don't need to plant every single one of them

Quotes about the Morning Garden

"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.
Emma Goldman


Your first job is to prepare the soil. The best tool for this is your neighbor's garden tiller. If your neighbor does not own a garden tiller, suggest that he buy one.
Dave Barry

I actually have been sleeping with the window open. There is nothing quite as wonderful as waking to hear the birds chirping under your window!!


A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.
James Russell Lowell (that's exactly how I feel about dandelions. From the time I was a little girl, a lawn full of dandelions meant that summer wasn't very far away. I love them to this day.)

Morning is the best of all times in the garden. The sun is not yet hot. Sweet vapors rise from the earth. Night dew clings to the soil and makes plants glisten. Birds call to one another. Bees are already at work.
William Longgood


*When was the last time you wandered through a garden first thing in the morning? It's almost magical with the scents, and the flowers waking up from a warm night of slumber! William Longgood couldn't have said it better!!
