In fact I never knew what a blog was until I read a short piece in a magazine about your mosaics! I finally took the plunge 4 wks ago and started my own blog.<br />I'm so glad to visit your new Flea Market makeover site now too. Wonderful ideas! I don't know where you find the time for all your creative endeavors! Do you take time to sleep? Just wondering! I'll be back to visit again soon!camp and cottage livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493023859271366201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-61685844418739432242011-07-11T10:14:16.276-04:002011-07-11T10:14:16.276-04:00Hi Penny,

The dragonfly is amazing..just this weekend I stopped into a little antique shop and purchased two vintage dragonfly broaches. <br />Your home gardens are looking so lovely! Gary and I need to spend a few hours next weekend removing a few plants that have grown to big for there spot. The previous owners had planted them and were planted in the wrong space. Have a sweet day and big hugs...ElizabethElizabeth and Gary https://www.blogger.com/profile/15849231608931954395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-82228304245286823102011-07-11T09:28:25.075-04:002011-07-11T09:28:25.075-04:00Oh my goodness, your pics are gorgeous!!

I did come home with some goodies. Today we went up to a town near Sacramento. My nephew is a deacon at his church and he was preaching today. So my family sat in the second row, proud as punch! Then we had a bbq at his how afterwards. It was so nice!Miss Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856562175207518634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-9594841783572331412011-07-10T22:05:06.230-04:002011-07-10T22:05:06.230-04:00I hope to visit the Biltmore one day!

Also baked two cakes, one with fresh raspberries and another with peaches., early in the morning before things heated up. Diet? It's gone to pot again!<br /><br />The Biltmore always does wonderful floral beds - thanks for sharing the really lovely dragonfly.<br /><br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-67570328085345174392011-07-10T19:49:00.313-04:002011-07-10T19:49:00.313-04:00There's always so much to do here in Asheville...There's always so much to do here in Asheville, isn't there!

I hope to get back to Asheville someday. It's a lovely area. <br />Our Sunday ~ we drove to the hill country to buy a couple of bushels of fresh picked Texas peaches. Redglobe variety ~ they are delicious. We'll be busy in the kitchen freezing them soon.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-34964233243275097662011-07-10T17:54:30.570-04:002011-07-10T17:54:30.570-04:00Um, let's see.

Went to Wally World for groceries and then to Kroger for more groceries, walked the dog, cleaned up dog hair from floor, did laundry, watched Hubby power wash front porch and sidewalk. Nothing extraordinary... just routine life. :-)<br /><br />I think I would have enjoyed your week-end more.<br /><br />DiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-56124699364021467952011-07-10T17:24:35.730-04:002011-07-10T17:24:35.730-04:00Gorgeous gardens, Penny!

And it rained today, so it was a great weekend. <br />I love the big flower pot effect the the Wisteria (I guess that is what that is.) I love to go to flower gardens.

I enjoyed seeing the giant dragonfly. Do they allow photos inside? Probably not.<br /><br />What did I do? I started off the weekend with a grandson in tow and we went out for breakfast, which was fun. Then I shopped at Lowe's for a hoe and some gardening gloves for my daughter-in-law's birthday. She asked for those things. I'd never give a gal that for her birthday. She also received some cash to do something a little more special. Today has just been beautiful, warm, low humidity, and I've been reading and putzing about with my own flowers and garden.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-46957856918187708152011-07-10T16:27:19.524-04:002011-07-10T16:27:19.524-04:00I always love seeing photos of beautiful Biltmore!...I always love seeing photos of beautiful Biltmore!
