Up at the Playhouse ...

and around the teeny tiny garden, cleaning and mowing and moving things around...

let me tell you...it was roasting hot!! But it was such a mess. I moved several pots to the back, then swept the playhouse floor...

but here's what I want to show you. Well, first, let me say, I've never grown succulents and know absolutely nothing about them, but my neighbor Ann gave me a little wilted half dead sprout a while back. I stuck it in a pot...

 

and it grew and grew and so, has sort of attached itself to my heart. I had them lined up on this old bench when late one night, something prowling around, pushed them over and onto the ground.  That's when I learned how easily the leaves break off.

I gathered them up, broken leaves and all and put them on the table in the playhouse. Today, this is what I found...

Blooms! What a surprise! Pretty blooms! 

I especially like this picture. Guess maybe I should read up on Succulents and learn how to care for them. Funny thing is, as long as I leave them alone, they grow beautifully.

Happened to see Poppy through the trees...

a useless picture. Just thought I would thought I would throw it in. :)

So now I'm headed to the sewing room to finish up a few things. This week I've made two bonnets and five clothespin dolls. But there's a doll I've been thinking about and just want to hold...

Andee sent me this doll from Germany several years ago when they were stationed there. 

She is such a pretty doll; 20" tall, just right to hold. She reminds me of a favorite doll I had when I was young.

Kind of a mixed up post...but guess it will do. Appreciate your visit so much. Be back soon.

Love,

Henny
