So I found some time this evening, and it was just as beautiful as I knew it would be! Loved seeing your animals and all your flowers and fruits and woods. You did a nice job painting the picnic table.Deborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-86856473114490916642014-08-31T13:50:03.696-07:002014-08-31T13:50:03.696-07:00What a wonderful post - beautiful and very enterta...What a wonderful post - beautiful and very entertaining! I wish our hydrangeas were as lovely, but they are lacecaps and are looking fairly bedraggled now at the end of summer. Your tansy is beautiful and I know is excellent as moth repellent! Those cats are - very catlike! Thank you for a "tour of the grounds".

To think that you have bears nearby makes me glad that you take your dogs with you! Ling Ling made me smile because we used to have a cat that would sit inside the bird house (one of those that has a roof above the table). He would see me coming and quickly jump from it making out that he was doing no wrong!

Not sure how many calories I burned though ... LOL! I wish I could grow hydrangeas like that. I do have a couple, but they are still relatively small. Love your picnic table - a wonderful transformation. Have a great weekend!

It's great that there are treats like these and the wild plums for the birds (and bears) of the forest – who must always be searching for a sweet morsel!<br /><br />I loved meeting your animal family, and seeing your amazing garden!<br /><br />Shane x<br />Roses, Lace and Brocantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821168025062104166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-62888482046321741542014-08-29T13:27:08.163-07:002014-08-29T13:27:08.163-07:00Oh my gosh your post was fantastic.

Josephine must love you alot to bring you such tasty treats - Lol! Yes, we have snakes here- small garter snakes. I have only seen one this year. Maybe I am just not looking too hard - we have so much undergrowth that they could hide quite easily in plain sight. Ooooh! That's a creepy thought! Now I will be looking for them more carefully. Hope you have a nice holiday. xo Karen Karen @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-50215999869784115102014-08-29T10:19:02.413-07:002014-08-29T10:19:02.413-07:00It was a lovely walk Karen.

Well, first of all, I haven't picked blackberries like this since I was a little girl. And those plum and apple tree are delightful. I love your white dog. I've had dogs my whole life, but none at the moment, but when it's time for another one, I would like to get a white dog, they're precious. That picture of the snail is great. <br /><br />Oh, I loved this post so much, and I'm going to have to come back to it after I have my morning coffee. Some people enjoy the ocean, but the mountains always bring me so much peace, and living like you do is such a blessing. Thank you for sharing these pictures. I appreciate it.<br /><br />love,<br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-76592889337243918052014-08-29T05:41:25.118-07:002014-08-29T05:41:25.118-07:00Bountiful is the word that comes to mind.

Fortunately, she doesn't hurt them. Last week's gifts were a huge moth and a small toad. Good thing she hasn't discovered the snake yet.<br />I was walking our pastor's wife out after a visit just as the large garter snake was crossing the path. I am not kidding when I say she nearly jumped into my arms then froze in place. Fortunately, I could bring her back in the front door and out the French doors or she would be here still!<br />Enjoyed your post "extra much" this morning. Do you have snakes there?<br />xxoo, m & jbMaureen @ Josephina Ballerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026799070718705353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999880454764041260.post-51577968150859671472014-08-29T03:09:39.645-07:002014-08-29T03:09:39.645-07:00Dearest Karen,
