I planted some over at the kids' gardens in recent years and they love them, too. Such happy, bright flowers. And now, I'll take a slice of that awesome looking pie! :D Blessing and prayers for you guys! ♥Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073882040193144070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-38301043725137204202019-08-12T06:30:11.936-07:002019-08-12T06:30:11.936-07:00both doors look wonderful and those blackberrie ar...both doors look wonderful and those blackberrie are big and yummy...

That was mighty high praise. He loved his pie. My brother and I have laughed, remembering how he would stop by the little coffee shop for pie, more often than any of us would guess. It was his little treat after a heavy, hot work day. Love your zinnias! Can only find the dwarf size here in the nurseries. I think I will need to go on line and search for see of the standard size. They are not hard to start. I like the way you made that screen door fit the art barn. Every barn should have a screen door. <br />Trusting things are coming along as they should. <br />Prayers.Lindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-22053195567159807622019-08-11T16:34:49.570-07:002019-08-11T16:34:49.570-07:00I have been on a carbohydrate binge, not the best ...I have been on a carbohydrate binge, not the best for me but oh so delicious<br />Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-26419793203534778792019-08-09T04:49:05.461-07:002019-08-09T04:49:05.461-07:00Oh yes, they are really happy flowers and on seein...Oh yes, they are really happy flowers and on seeing them they make me happy.

I too LOVE my zinnas, they truly do paint a picture of happiness! Such joy my flowers and blooms bring me. You have some wonderful surprises growing in your garden too! Always love those volunteers!
