Good morning, beautiful

Today was a beautiful day.




A sunflower greeted me early this morning at my husband’s garden.





The cheerful faces of the morning glories as they climb the garden perimeter.

(apologies to my friend, Daryl, whose morning glories passed away at a young age after being destroyed by caterpillars.)





A juvenile red-bellied woodpecker stopped by for some suet cake. I notice the absence of his parents today, although I read that the young chicks stay with them until fall.

I read a book over the weekend that I had no idea was a “hot summer read”, according to the review I just found on my sidebar. I just know I loved the book, a love story/murder mystery that takes place in both Biloxi and New Orleans, going back and forth from the present day to the past.

You can read the review here:

The Beach Trees

And finally, guess who turns four years old today?

George was born on July 11, 2007 in Ellsworth, Maine. His mother just had another litter of puppies, which should be ready to sell in early August. You can check out the Facebook page below.

Sheepscot Border Collies

And no, in case you’re wondering, there will not be a party. But someone might get a new toy (and something yummier than usual for dinner).

Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today.
