Thank you Kate for all the photos. But especially for the cornflower, my favourite, I used to see it in fields but never now,and it is such a heavenly blue. Hope Bruce is better now x
Good Morning, As a wee Scotty myself many years removed I had forgotten the beauty of the wildflowers in Scotland and the gifts the damp climate brings us. as a human being struggling to make sense of this world the comments on this blog and the heartfelt caring they convey boosts my faith in the total goodness of human kind:).
Thank you one and all.
What beautiful pictures as always. They really are worth a thousand words – the sense of tranquility I now have from looking at them will get me through at least this morning! :-)
Hey Bruce – Watch out – I think You Know Who is going to replace you with a Woolly Bruce….. be on your guard. It seems to have given my You Know Who ideas too!!! Very cold this morning OoC – I am not going for a walk whatever they say! Love Bruce x
Thank you for sharing such lovely and vibrant photos. Our drought has removed all life and color from outside so I love seeing pictures that give me hope that, should rain return to us, color will return as well. Beautiful.
The orange/purple/yellow flowers are begging to be a color scheme in one of your future sweaters. I love Bruce’s ears a-flop as he’s galloping with his blue ball. Happy Precious!!
love those flower pictures they made me smile.
I just lost my mom and am feeling very odd-there is a huge hole in my life. I never knew it would be this hard.
Bruce always makes me smile too.
thank you Kate for your kind thoughts-maybe someday I will get to Edinburgh-it’s on my “bucket list”. Family coming today and tomorrow for memorial service on Sat. Last night my dad and I went out to dinner alone and drove around one side of our beautiful lake reminiscing about Mom. He is very lonely-almost 91 and mom and he were married 65 yrs. He is also in wonderful shape(hope I can keep him that way for awhile)..
I LOVE an ordinary day! and Orange poppies and Purple thistles. The only problem with thistles is…………they won’t last in a bouquet, they wilt, at least the variety i used. After all the chat re Yorkshire tea i ordered some, we’ll see…..
