The Birds and the Bees

Seems like more than three days since I've posted. Just had to show some garden pictures. Today the weather calls for severe thunderstorms possible off and on all day and into the night. We have weather watches in our immediate area and sunshine in between. I took these photos in the midst of a "sunny" spell. Feels like a "steam oven" right now!

Out back: astillbe, bee balm, ivy geraniums, impatiens, butterfly bush.

Here's one of my little guys with our cat, Mickey, under the deck bench. He was trying to pet Mickey.  Mickey has allergies and we forgot to get his injection, so his nose is all spotty. Poor guy. So negligent are we.

Now, maybe you can tell me if this is a carpenter bee. We have had them drilling holes in our pergola, but my sister, who identified them, hasn't told me what they look like. She saw a special on carpenter bees.

Have a super wonderful day!!!

Saturday Night

"Saturday night and I ain't got nobody..." I love those oldies but goodies!

Hey! What are you doing tonight? I just got home from one of our local coney island restaurants where I met my sisters. Good times! Too much caffeine, though. Drives me crazy--and everyone else, too!

Left is a photo of one of my newest scarves as promised. Speaking of "caffeine", this scarf is the color of light coffee- or tea-stained cotton, but, without the jolt!

Later...

Artsy Scarves

Dreams of people googling "handmade scarves" and seeing My Dream Garden on Etsy popping right up on the very first page! What a comedian I am!

I googled handmade scarves, artsy scarves, unique scarves and what? Nothing! Those little web spiders and robots pick out words from who knows where. How will anyone get to know me and my work? Well, let's see: You can google My Dream Garden or mydreamgarden, and, voila', there I am on the first page, listed five times!!! But who in the world is going to google My Dream Garden unless they know me? What in the world!

Tonight I'm learning some things from Etsy, my shop's artist website. I love keeping shop there, but I need exposure. Tell me how, would you. P-l-e-a-s-e ! ! !

Love to you all!
