We spent a fun day with family up on the Columbia River yesterday, a four-hour drive round-trip (whew!)--so I'm just getting settled in and back to business here this morning--getting focused, sorting things out, answering emails, returning phone calls. But I wanted to pop in and share a little autumn loveliness, by way of my glorious birthday bouquet (from the Mister), that is ushering in the new season and making me smile. It looks like it's going to be another beautiful fall day here—hope yours is too--wherever you are.
Happy Birthday!! I don't usually comment, but those flowers are breathtaking and I would have to just sit and look at them all day if they were in my house!! Your hubby did great--have a lovely day!! :)

Bautiful flowers. As their name suggests, these plants are sun-lovers and it's loved by both human and birds.

Hi! Happy Birthday!
I wanted to let you know I posted pictures on my blog (http://mulberriesinhand.blogspot.com) of projects some family members and I made with one of your free patterns you had posted a while ago on pattern bee. We had a "family challenge" and shared our finished projects when we got together for tea. Thanks for sharing all of your great projects and ideas--very inspirational.

Beautiful flowers, for a beutiful birthday I'm sure. Hope your day was filled with love and laughter. Autumn days are a little sad around the edges. I don't want the summer to leave, but do like the cooler days.
