Have you counted yours?
It's 1,053 posts for me.
The following was first published on
January 3, 2014, my No. 600 post.
It all began in July of 2009. Have no idea what possessed me.
I think that I was walking in my garden,
early one morning, with coffee cup in hand.
When it occurred to me that I wanted to share with you
Our life in the country
with creatures great and small.
Building a new house.
Share with you my passion for growing flowers.
Inside
and Out.
Many recipes from my kitchen.
And painting recipes for walls.
And ceilings.
Easter Eggs.
Christmas Ornaments.
And printed paper.
The happy day I bought this rubble,
for $500 cash.
and turned it into a treasure.
Travels to Europe
And exotic places.
Painting at the Scuola d' Arte in Deruta, Italy.
Painting ceramics. So, so many and now almost forgotten.
All sent off, never to see again,
hopefully making new owners happy.
So grateful to each and everyone of you.
Thank you for visiting, reading and commenting.
Without you, my dear Readers, it wouldn't be half the fun.
And still grateful to this day.
Gina
So much beauty and creativity! Thank you for sharing your art and your love for the natural world. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Daydreamer,
DeleteThank you so very much for coming by and leaving such a special comment.
Dear Gina - Congratulations - I remember the first time that I discovered your blog many years ago and I was immediately bowled over by your magical colours, and your great style, which still continues today. I found you via Mark Ruffner, I know that you will remember him - I wonder what he is doing now?
ReplyDeleteDear Rosemary, Mark Ruffner did us both a favor. Without him I would never have had your gift of beautiful photographs and such well researched material. I remember Mark well. He added such class and charm to our little circle. I wonder if he still likes his Pompeian Room.
DeleteDear Gina, dear Rosemary, I, too found each of you and Mark Ruffner but which one was first??? My memory has it's 'ins' and 'outs' - sometimes it arrives and surprises everyone - me included! But this time...I have to make a guess and I think it was you, Gina! And which thread led me to you??? Too far away but oh, how happy and inspired I have been to have found all three of you and your talents. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
DeleteDear Mary, That is a very interesting question Mary. I will have to do some investigating. I do miss Mark. He added so much to our little group.
DeleteThank you for sharing your images of beauty, color, calm, inspiration, and your interesting words. I am so glad that I found your blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie and welcome. So nice of you to stop by and take the time to leave a comment.
DeleteThis is one of my favorite posts! Brings such good memories to mind. Keep it up, I look forward to every post.
ReplyDeleteDear Chad,
DeleteThank you for your sweet comment. I remember your beautifull wedding under our Picnic tree.
Dear Gina,
ReplyDeleteWe are all so glad that you began blogging. I discovered you a few years ago and love the colourful images you show of your flowers and your painting. But I think I need to go back to the beginning and read all the posts!
Dear orie,
DeleteOh My, read hundreds and hundreds of pages? Don't wish you that many rainy days. Thank you for visiting and commenting. That is what all of us Bloggers appreciate.
