It is so special to have a variety of birds visit. Our bird book is always easy to reach too, although we don't get nearly as many varieties visiting now that we are in town. Enjoy that soaking rain.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288331185772160975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-52809164985686821622018-12-08T21:37:46.727+10:002018-12-08T21:37:46.727+10:00Hi Jenny.

We have those same red globe flowers. They go by several common names here Surprise Lily, Resurrection Lily or Naked Ladies. They are a bulb of the Amaryllis family. They send up a clump of grasslike foliage in late spring/early summer which dies away then the red globes pop up (surprise, resurrection) in late summer/early fall without any foliage (naked). <br />Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239136955952885206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-20669449539859586112018-12-08T17:17:32.411+10:002018-12-08T17:17:32.411+10:00The rain would have been most welcome and I hope i...The rain would have been most welcome and I hope it fell where it was most needed.

Your garden photos are wonderful and fill me with happiness that your much longed for home has turned into such a joyful place of peace and beauty. It is so wonderful to imagine you sitting there with your scriptures, or identifying birds or simply sitting and being in God's splendor. Thank you for the pincushion.

I am so pleased when I see on the news that the weather has cooled down for you up there in the north. It must have been almost unbearable to get that type of heat on the coast. So sorry you have been getting migraines but it isn't surprising in that heat. It sounds like you have a very exciting 2019 planned.

I ...Oh, dear Jenny--What a gift your post is today. I am sitting in a hospital room with my sweet mom who is 89 yrs old. She fell on Sunday and broke 4 ribs, bruised her face and hip. I am praying for her almost continually as she is in great pain. It was such a joy to see the pics of your beautiful plants and flowers. I can't wait to see what surprises you have in store for us next year since I have been a subscriber to your embroidery monthly patterns since the beginning. Exciting times. Unfortunately, I am not able to do any needlework at the hospital since mom is in a confused state of mind. She was such a good mom and I am trying to keep her as comfortable as possible. Love to you and Mr. E.Martha Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13098714989287842642noreply@blogger.com
