I worked on my blog so that more of my favorite blogs show up in my reading list on my home page. Hopefully I keep up you now. We have been hearing about your heat wave. I cannot imagine England hot. We have had rain. Lots of rain. Very nice to have rain. Hope you cool down soon. annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123979443065030493.post-56809047089072113502013-07-16T21:14:59.660+01:002013-07-16T21:14:59.660+01:00I'm sorry to hear your mother's assessment...I'm sorry to hear your mother's assessment report was so inaccurate - it does prove that we all have to check and watch everything closely. Exciting news about your leaf cutter bees! And it's wonderful to hear that so many hedgehogs are visiting.

She is now in Assisted Living, a facility about 8 miles from my home, so I am able to visit often. It took over two weeks to get her Dr. to call in an order for her insulin!! Her glucose readings were near 300, and we could get no response from the Dr.! UGH! Sometimes I wonder what happens to those who have no one to look out for their welfare. <br /><br />Your garden is looking really pretty. Love the blue bench. <br /><br />Take care,<br />KathyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098902223786529522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123979443065030493.post-47489580949708077372013-07-16T00:11:49.320+01:002013-07-16T00:11:49.320+01:00Hi dear - I'm so behind with commenting also, ...Hi dear - I'm so behind with commenting also, but have been posting! Travels to Calif. and Pacific NW have slowed me down - I read blogs but just no time to write everyone - sorry out there!!!<br /><br />A shame they got it all wrong for your dear mom - hope your comments will put them on record and improve the system.<br /><br />Love the garden pics - know you've been having some awesome, if hot, weather lately and the flowers are looking beautiful. The painted furniture looks great - love blue in the garden. Remember how they used to tell us in England - "blue with green should never be seen". What a bunch of bilge that was - they are so lovely together in anything, but especially Nature. Great freebie in the fountain - it's really nice.<br /><br />Glad the hoggies are busy visiting - you are so lucky to have them in the garden - look forward to seeing more activity with the new camera, what fun. I see the kitty in the background - was it trying to get to Ted by chance?<br /><br />No 'treasure hunting' lately? Guess you've been far too busy. I too have not done much but hope to go to a favorite place when I head to Charlotte where my lovely friend Vanessa has moved - we will get together early in Aug. and shop 'til we shop most likely!<br /><br />Take care dear Rose - especially in the heat - know you probably don't have a/c so need to go slow in the heatwave.<br /><br />Glad you're back - hugs and love, MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123979443065030493.post-59333786264201646222013-07-15T21:51:48.000+01:002013-07-15T21:51:48.000+01:00Hallo again, I forgot to say, that that doctor'...Hallo again, I forgot to say, that that doctor's mistakes are not uncomman, and good that you picked up on it to get it sorted, I hope your mum is keeping optimistic, because even with momeory loss,life is worth living** all the b est Jjanzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061408016373122220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123979443065030493.post-7239585059608640392013-07-15T21:49:03.127+01:002013-07-15T21:49:03.127+01:00Well, dear Rose, I love to read your blog and to k...Well, dear Rose, I love to read your blog and to know you dont live too far away makes it more special.. We have not seen any hedgehogs for a couple of years now, and the bees seem to be rare too.. I hope next year the balance will have adjusted and all be back to normal.. I loved the picture of the bench your grandfather made, delightful to keep it in such good shape and that colour is inspired!! Hope you are not sweltering too much, I love the heat, but being cooler is good too.. all the best janzijanzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061408016373122220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123979443065030493.post-30397473338697102762013-07-15T21:30:41.778+01:002013-07-15T21:30:41.778+01:00Hi Rose,

I love it when you show us images of your garden because I LOVE English gardens -- English gardens and southern gardens (as I was born and raised in the south). :) <br /><br />Your "new" garden bench looks marvelous; I do like that bluebell color. How great that you were able to use your neighbor's base for your water feature; it really is a charming feature! Ten hedgehogs in one night -- WOW. Ted is awfully cute. :) <br /><br />I'm sorry things are not being handled very efficiently with your mom's situation; that's so very frustrating for you I'm sure. Hope they will get things straightened out very soon.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week, Rose!<br /><br />Denise at Forest ManorDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235440820949449634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123979443065030493.post-28501137435012973972013-07-15T19:58:50.019+01:002013-07-15T19:58:50.019+01:00lovely photos Rose, all really interesting.

And at 99 years old (the bench), I think that is close enough to 100 to qualify for antique. That's what I've heard is the magic number. Most of my childhood stuff qualifies as vintage~as I'm over 60! I had my own night visitors last night. Heard an unusual purring noise out the patio door and when I looked there was what I think is a young mother raccoon with EIGHT babies. They were so cute, but I really don't want them at my back door. I don't do well in heat either, so hope it cools off for us both. Take care.♥♫Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116154641827479893noreply@blogger.com
