Changed my favicon

Good afternoon everyone ~ Hope you are enjoying the many moments that make up your lives. Each day is a gift. May we appreciate each and every one, and grow in all good things.

My dear DH had an idea for my favicon, so I thought I would see what I could come up with, and I like it. FL stands for FlowerLady of course, and it is also the abbreviation for the state we live in. Favicons are really easy once you know what to do.

Boy oh boy did we ever get a rain last night. It had just started when I was writing my last post. It blew in from the west with strong winds, heavy rains, thunder and lightening. We had some gentler rains this morning and it is somewhat cooler than it has been.

We did our errands this morning, part of which was an eye exam for myself and the dr. said my eyeballs are healthy and she only changed my glasses prescription a little bit for reading and for astigmatism. I used my old frames as they are still in good shape, but even at that, yikes, prices must have really gone up since I last had this done. I’m glad my eyes are healthy though. That was good news.

Yesterday afternoon I worked more on my latest needlework and that felt good. I hadn’t done anything in about three weeks.

This morning I took some pictures after our nice rain last night. Below are the results.

This is Caldwell’s Pink or Pink Pet, it and Louis Philippe were the first roses I bought many, many years ago.

I am inside our screened room off the back of our cottage for the next picture of a caladium with raindrops. In the second picture, you can see the trees and screened room framing reflected in the raindrop.

Next we have a fresh bloom of the Dwarf White Orchid tree.

Here is my secret little seating area at the nw back corner of my main garden area. We bought that Victorian wire bench at a flea market many, many years ago for $10. The heart iron piece hanging above it was part of a chandelier I think we found curbside. The other painted piece is aluminum I think and another found piece. There is lattice above and Phyllis Bide roses are growing over the top from the right and I’m trying to get a morning glory type vine to grow up and over the other side. On the fence shelf is another little iron piece from an old light fixture and seashells.

Guess that’s it for now. I want to thank you all for taking the time to visit and leaving your kind comments.

I’m going to take a little break from blogging to do some things around here. Enjoy this month of August and I hope it cools down for all of you that need it, and I hope that you get rain too.
