I love the photo of the dogs, Jane, and it sounds like you have wonderful neighbors. I also love the story about the children and the bracelets. A beautiful post, my friend. Sending hugs and love to you both. xoxo

Wonderful Jane to take a different route, and change routine .. It sounds as if you have a wonderful little community of caring people.. I loved the story of the children with the bracelets , How sweet they posted you those gifts. :-)

And that young lady at the garage, what a lovely gesture as you asked how that young receptionist was. It is often the smallest of gestures which mean the most...

I expect that Acer Tree is looking wonderful in its new leaf, and even better in the Autumn months. As I sit and type this out to you, my neighbour across the road has a huge Red Camellia tree, its size is half the size of their house. Its flowers are fading now, but its still in full bloom, and I so enjoy that tree, so I smiled at the jokingly neighbour who was wanting your Acer.. :-D

Have a lovely weekend Jane... We send lots of love to you both from all of us ... 💖

Dearest Sue, thank you for your loving thoughts. There you are looking out to your neighbour's Camelia Tree. You reminded me that I used to paint those blooms.

We love the card you painted for us and will be framing it.

I'll reply to your email and send you some before and after pictures of our front raised bed, which is now a woodland setting.

Our love to you, and your two B's. Xxxx We wish you a lovely weekend. Xxxx 🩷🌸🩷✨️🦋

To pause and admire something is a blessing. So glad your neighbor told you that since it duplicates the blessing once shared.
