Hello my lovely friends π It’s been a minute or two, hasn’t it? Actually – almost a week π³ Oh my! I’ve been a bit under the weather all week π€ so it’s not been the most productive one. But…I’m back π€ and really glad you are too!
Today I just wanna show you a few random things I’ve thought about this past week…just to get back into the swing of it all. π
1. A few months ago I bought some succulents, and on the way home a few of the leaves broke fell off. Luckily I had just read an article about ‘Propagading Succulents’ π So I thought I give it a try. And guess what? It worked! π See….
Well, I guess I don’t have a picture from the beginning – this is about 3 weeks in π It did slow down some after the initial ‘growth spurt’
But they are coming along nicely π

2. While searching for the ‘Wildflower’ poem last week – you might remember – I came across these lovely words from Rustine Hamlett π
This makes me smile every time…
I Tried To Write A Poem…
i tried to write a poem
a poem just for You
but when i sought to find the words
like hummingbirds, they flew!
i tried to bake some cookies
a dozen, just for You
but before they hit the oven
we’d shared the yummy goo
i tried to paint a picture
a picture just for You
but the colors all ran out of line
like sunlight through the dew
i tried to plant a garden
wildflowers, just for You
but when i’d tilled and sown the soil
too tall for me they grew!
i tried to find a treasure
a treasure just for You
but when i looked inside the chest
i found a gift from You
i tried to tell a story
a mystery, just for You
but when i lost the villain’s trail
’twas You who found the clue
i tried to catch some fireflies
green starlight, just for You
but you smiled, and set the lightning free
when i brought my lamp to You
i tried to find the perfect shell
a conch shell, just for You
but all i found were little stars
who tickled like You do!
i tried to find an angel
an angel just for You
but when i told her who You were
she said “you can’t have two”
i tried to catch a falling star
a wish, made just for You
but when i did, You said “My dear,
all I’ve wished for is in you⦔
i tried to write a poem
a poem just for You
this time i found all the words
to tell the world of You
Lovely, isn’t it? π
3. Walking through our garden this morning, I noticed how strong the Wisteria grew this Spring and Summer π Can you see how tightly it wove itself around the trellis?


4. Now a few things worth mentioning…but -sadly- without pictures (for now). This shall be corrected real soon π
~ A few WIPs are almost done – mostly smalls. I’ve been working on double-layer dishcloths (worked in Tunesian Stitch in the round! π³ It’s supercool…wait ’til you see this (I might be a smidge overexcited π)
~ I baked my bread for the ‘Fantastic Bake-Off’ π©π»βπ³ It’s fabulously delicious π I’ll show ya tomorrow.
~ I collected some hilarious things for tomorrow’s ‘Weekend Chuckle’ π
So – that was my week in a quick review π
I sure hope you enjoyed it a bit, and come visit again tomorrow! π€
Until then π
