***TODAY I SHALL BE OUT IN MY GARDENS, WORKING ON MY SECOND LARGEST ONE. I MUST ONCE AGAIN CUT BACK NOT VISITING YOUR BLOGS AS MY USUAL (AND IF I MISSED YOURS YESTERDAY I APOLOGIZE). I ALSO ONCE AGAIN ASK YOU TO KEEP THE COMMENTS TO A MINIMUM. YOU KNOW I LOVE TO TALK TO YOU. SPEAKING OF, I HAVEN’T SEEN SHRIMP IN A WHILE AND I HONESTLY CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY. SHRIMP, I MISS YOU MUNCHING ON MY FLOWERS! SUSAN, I KNOW YOU HAVE NEW POSTS, PLEASE BE PATIENT. PROFESSOR, I WASN’T ABLE TO COME OUT TO PLAY BECAUSE ROCKY HAD SURGERY AND NOW I MUST RETURN TO MY GARDENS. AND FOR ALL OF YOU, YES YOU, KNOW WHEREVER I AM, I CARRY YOU IN MY HEART WITH ME. I WILL BE SO GLAD WHEN THIS CHALLENGING PHASE OF GARDENING WILL BE OVER WITH SO THAT WE CAN GET BACK TO CHATTING AS PER USUAL. WITH SUN, CHUCKLES, AND (((HUGS))), AMYROSE***

Thank you, Indah!! I have just about finished up with my morning routine and now plan on dressing warm (temps dropped again) to go outside. I plan on putting a good 3 hours in, maybe 4. I am amazed how GOOD everyone here is today. Tee hee. I must write something later to tell everyone GOOD JOB and thank you for holding the comments. Although, you have NO idea how hard this is for me, cause I just LOVE talking to my friends. I’ll have to talk to the faeries and sprites, and listen to what Mother tells me as well. (smile) Later this evening, lots of pics to take from my neighbor’s garden and mine as well. Can you tell how hungry I am for conversation? Hehehehehe LOVE, Amy

Nice timing, Ms. Amy! I just came in to feed my cats and myself. Thank you SO much for your Golden Words. It is almost spooky at my blog with no talking. Tee Hee. I am so touched that so many are complying by not commenting. I think I will get the big garden done today! OH YAY! I will take a pic of this one and post it probably either this evening or the morrow. Whew. I honestly need a massage. Cooler temps today and me muscles be aching. YIVEH! Love you! MUAH! Amy

Amy, thank you SO much. It’s amazing to me as well, truth be told. Yes, these posts sometimes are a lot of work, but when done, I look and say I DID THAT? I’m waiting for the sun to go down a bit more so I can begin taking pics. Not too much right now. With a few good rains, though, things will be popping up all over the place. I saw down our street someone has Tulips up already and I am really thinking of knocking on their door to ask if I can photograph their flowers. It won’t be today though. I am serioulsy tired. This garden today took all I had and then some. I hope I can post what I want tomorrow. I hope. Love, Amy

Yeah, can you believe it??? I mean my mouth dropped wide open. This lens is amazing and I am having such a ball with it. I cannot believe what it can capture. I got a tiny little fly on a tiny little bud, and NO BLURRING. I was stunned. But these Pussy Willows……I mean really, have you ever seen anything like this? I am so honored by Mother for letting me in to capture Her beauty.
I am almost done in my BIG garden and then I plan on photographing flowers. Wheeeeee, I am beat today. I really thank you for your comment. You made my day!!! Bless you!!!! Love, Amy
