I love you, dear friend. <br /><br />You are the inspiration for me in so many ways, I do think of you every day and you are always in my prayers. <br /><br />I love the paint, what a transformation for your fence, it is so pretty. And the light fixture is fantastic on the post...we have one very similar and now you've given me an idea of what to do with it. <br /><br />I've been absent from the blogs for far too long; things here are hectic, but you are always in my thoughts. <br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-13805263388399886312014-11-04T09:58:50.421-05:002014-11-04T09:58:50.421-05:00The fence and light look great.

It is absolutely charming, as are YOU my dear! Your cozy and lush gardens remind me of a trip I took to Ft. Lauderdale around 1977 or so. I visited a friend's cousin and his mom's yard was like a tropical paradise. I never saw so many, to me, strange and exotic plants. I got to take some of them back to WV with me, where they thrived for many years, inside of course. Wish I still had them!CYNTHIA CRANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886084821469471518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-54188279573351802562014-10-30T08:38:09.261-04:002014-10-30T08:38:09.261-04:00The fence and lantern look wonderful.

I find it to be a perfect time to meditate or a quiet time to send healing thoughts to the Universe.<br /><br />How funny that you were given such a great pot and found you have several others. I would probably spoil them by painting them bright enamal colors.<br /><br />I am so happy for you that you stay constantly busy.
