Welcome to my little corner of the world.
Welcome to my little corner of the world.
I didn't think that I would have a post
this week because I'm having too
much fun with our visiting
granddaughters.

I do not post photos of them on my blog . . .
I do not post photos of them on my blog . . .
but I thought this one would be okay.
A year ago last spring they asked me
if I would grow my hair out with them.
They want to donate theirs to
a charity that makes wigs for cancer victims.
I don't think that they would want my
salt and pepper hair,
but I agreed to join them :)

these are some of the crafts

I saw them on Pinterest and wanted to
give them a try :)

Now because I'm having so much fun
Now because I'm having so much fun
with them, the rest of my post is a
tour through the garden.
My morning glories are gorgeous this year,
as well as other beauties in bloom.

Enjoy the tour :)

What a wonderful thing for your granddaughters to do, you must be so proud of them. Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos of your garden - the sunflower is my favourite. xx
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you to have this time to enjoy your Grands, and make happy memories with them!
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful girls to want to donate their hair.
Love your flowers, and especially the sunflowers and zinnia's; such happy flowers!
Have an excellent day.

Is that a pink Morning Glory? I know the blue one, but I don't think I've seen a pink one before.
ReplyDeleteI love all the beauty in this post. I would be braiding all that hair and styling away. LOL. So sweet of them to want to donate their long hair. Blessings to you and your grandgirls. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteHi Connie.....what fun the girls must be I love when my granddaughter joins me in the kitchen baking such memorable fun! Your flowers are just the prettiest I have ever seen wish I was your neighbor I sure don't have cutting flowers like yours, Enjoy your granddaughter time Lisa @ Sweet Tea N' Salty Air
ReplyDeleteI am sure your salt and pepper hair will make a beautiful wig, too. It would be my choice if I ever had to get a wig. Your granddaughters are very thoughtful. Enjoy the rest of the visit. I hope to see some rodeo photos, I haven't been to one since 1997! x
ReplyDeleteSuch a precious gift your granddaughters will be giving. Sweet girls!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all your pretty flowers. We finally had rain last night but
I'm thinking it was too late for any flowers here.
What a cute photo of the three of you! It would take me years to get my hair that long! Have fun at the fair and rodeo! Wish I was there! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteConnie what a big heart your grand-daughters have. Your yard must feel like a walk in the park with all the beautiful flowers. Those grapes look so good. Have a blessed day with the grands!!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are all so pretty. Whatever that is that you've been making it looks really cool
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your visit with your granddaughters
Your flowers are absolutely gorgeous. I’m glad you’re having such a good time with your granddaughters. Their plans to give their hair away is absolutely wonderful and such a sweet thing for them to do. Do you have much smoke there? The air is terrible here. I woke up in the trailer this morning and couldn’t even see the water at the lake. My lungs were burning and my eyes were streaming and I had a horrible headache. I decided to just come home. I hope your air is much better over there. Blessings,

Spending time with beloved grandchildren is a sheer delight!LOVE seeing how you have been utterly transforming your garden.
ReplyDeleteMoments to treasure.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI know your granddaughters are too, and I'm glad you are having such fun with them!
Your Morning Glories are so lovely...so are the other flowers in your garden. The granddaughters must be a wonderful blessing to have visiting. Enjoy every minute ( I'm sure you do).
ReplyDeleteConnie- That is just such a sweet picture of your three grandgirls from the back. Love the hair!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are all just gorgeous. I hope you have a blast with the girls for as long as you have them there. xo Diana
I love all of your pics, but I think I like the windmill and zinnias best. Your weaving projects turned out beautifully! I am sure all of you had so much fun.
ReplyDeleteHapy to hear that you are getting to enjoy your granddaughters. Wonderful project to grow their hair out and yours for the benefit of cancer patients. Beautiful tour of your flowers! Nancy
ReplyDeleteAren't Zinnias the happiest of plants and there is nothing on earth quite like the blue of Morning Glories. How sweet to have your granddaughters stay with you. Money raised for cancer initiatives is always an excellent thing. Those weaving pretties are fabulous; how fun. 'Tis always a delight to stroll through your garden, Connie.
ReplyDeleteYour grand girls' hair is growing out nicely. My daughters have given theirs to cancer agencies a couple of times. It does grow quickly. I really like those weavings. Your garden is full of colour and delight. Especially those zinnias! Enjoy the time with your girls.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Connie! You and your camera make such a great pair! Love the pix of the 3 of you... how sweet and thoughtful of your grands to donate their (and your!) hair.... you must be very proud of them. What fun to do some crafting with them too.. and the walk through your "park" was so fun.. I love all the close-ups.. flowers are so amazing when you look really close at them and the leaves.. it's a whole new world! Love your zinneas too and the glories climbing that post or is it a windmill as someone said? Just amazing. And oh those grapes.. what are you going to do with them? I have a "juicer" that I got years and years ago at an REI Coop when they were still around, that you put your berries or whatever in the top, and then water in the bottom, and it boils and steams the berries or whatever.. and then it has a tube that hooks on and all the juice that is made goes down the tube into jars. Then you can either can the juice for drinking, or use it to make jelly. I always used it for blackberries so could have seedless jelly, and I usually canned the juice until winter, and then would make my jelly in the winter. Loved that thing.. still have it but haven't used it for year! Homemade grape juice is wonderful for drinking! Enjoy those girls and have fun at the rodeo! xoxoxo Marilyn
ReplyDeleteConnie, how wonderful that you got to visit with your granddaughters for awhile. I love that picture of them with their long hair. And it's so special that they're growing it out to donate to a charity. Your garden is coming along nicely, and oh, that sunflower! It's beautiful, even drooping from the heat. And that purple flower is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the summer days, Connie. It's not as hot today as it's been, but we've had some fires in California, which scare me.
love, ~Sheri
I have so enjoyed your beautiful flowers!!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear you are having a great time with your granddaughters. So neat that you are crafting together :) Such a neat creative project, sounds like you all have some fun stuff planned ahead! Have a great time!
They have beautiful hair and is such a wonderful thing that they are doing. A beautiful tour of your garden. Nice to know you are having such a great time with your Grandaughters creating lots of amazing memories to treasure.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t being a grandma the best! Be sure to share your after pictures of your haircuts....but you’ll all look great! Continue to enjoy and cherish your time together! ;love the weaving on sticks!!! Reminds me of dream catchers!) smiles being sent! V
ReplyDeleteFun times with grandkids are so special! And so is growing your hair out to donate to wigs for cancer patients! That’s awesome! I love the dream catcher/yarn art that y’all did. Can you give me the link to your Pinterest page so I can look it up? Was it knitted? Crocheted? What is it actually called?
ReplyDeleteWe’re on our way to Colorado for a couple of weeks and I have yarn, wire, paints and other art supplies on board. I had something in mind to make and yours is an inspiration as well. I knew how to knit 47 years ago when I was 18 but I don’t remember now and I don’t know how to crochet either. I was thinking of learning to knit again not very long ago so I could add it to nature art pieces and lo and behold you have inspired me to do it! Yahoo!
Your flowers and garden areas look so beautiful! I love the climbing morning glories! (At least I think that’s what they are!). Very pretty!
Thanks for another one of your lovely posts! I always enjoy them!

I like the picture of your granddaughters. They sure have pretty hair. Those grapes!! I'm just amazed at how much you grow and it all looks so perfect.
