What a surprise ~ Thank you Blotanical

Good morning everyone. I want to say a big thank you to the folks at Blotanical, for all the picks for our anniversary thread. I was totally surprised and pleased to say the least. I was really surprised to hear from Stuart too as he's on his sabbatical right now, or at least I think he still is.

I've not visited Blotanical as much as I did in the past, and I need to do so again, to be inspired by all the gardeners around the world. I can't keep up with everyone though, not enough hours in the day.

Now that our weather 'should' be cooling down, I look forward to being out in the gardens more. It's been a rough summer, I don't do well in heat and humidity these days.

Anyway, thank you again for the picks and the comments.

Blotanical is on Sabbatical

Now we know what is happening with Blotanical and we are all looking forward to it's return. Bless Stuart's heart for taking care of the new improvements for Blotanical so that we all can visit and enjoy the community even more. It's a big undertaking, what Stuart is doing, and I know we all hope everything goes smoothly for him.

Until then we are all visiting around and enjoying seeing what's happening in blogland. There are lots of wonderful gardens and gardeners out there. There are lots of wonderful people out there who don't garden but cook, bake, craft, raise families, work, read, listen to music, etc. We all are sharing bits and pieces of our lives.

We, DH and I, are busy here working on projects, like fence repair, screened room, I tore down a falling down arched arbor, a new one is in the thought process, tree stumps dug up, all sorts of stuff that wears us out, but gives us joy at the same time.

Below are some pictures of bloomers in our cottage gardens. It's going to be a gorgeous day and I'm going to be at work, of course. The past few days have been cold here, cold to us anyway. Today it's supposed to be up in the mid 70's.

Have a great weekend.

I've tried several times to get into Blotanical, does any one know what is going on?
