Lo there, it has been pretty grim we are not used to the heat, but I expect when we shiver it will all seem dreamlike.🌺

Re: S G
The dahlias are five or more years old so they are massive plants, I don't like to let folk see me watering them although I have permission from the Water Board.🌺🦋

Re: Sherri
It is ridiculous really although the banning of hose pipes has seen a lot of gardens shrivel up especially if folk take a few days holiday>🦋

Re: SAm
. Once the charity shops were thriving and boot sales were exciting. I used to collect jugs etc. I suppose it was a bit exciting at the time.
Now it is a job too give stuff away folk just stick furniture etc. outside hoping someone
will take a fancy to it. I mean what was the sense in having an old oil lamp or like I have
a long handled warming pan. it just hangs on the wall gathering dust.

I would have jumped through the roof if a milk carton suddenly appeared out of nowhere. 😏 It does appear that most things in life have a price tag. Flowers are not cheap unless you grow them yourself. My friend Sue is a florist. She has talked to me about the prices of bouquets and other flower arrangements. 💐 She made my middle daughter's wedding bouquet as a gift. It was gorgeous and would have cost $160.00 had we purchased it.

Re: Graysome
Lo Helen I hope you feel a bit better, probably better to buy a pot plant, I expect it is labour costs and a big markup. Also perishable items one could soon lose out. . 🌺 🌷

It does seem to go that way with the prices.

Couple of times this summer I thought of buying some cut flowers for the house...Not at theprices here. More expensive even than in your town.

I think buyer beware is more prevalent than at time I can remember. Yard sales were places to grab items on the cheap but these days you'd think they all had the cream of the crop instead of things to get rid of. I like that charity and just giving flowers away is always your go to option.

I’m glad it’s cooler there but I hope it’s not too cold. Do be careful in the gardens with the flowers. It’s nice you donate your proceeds. 🌹😄

Good afternoon
CCT, I hope it warms up for you. I have to say your flowers keep you busy and people coming and going. I hope you have a good night. I think maybe you should put on a warm sweater and put an extra blanket on your bed. It’s in the 70’s here today. Enjoy your evening.

It is nice sometimes to be in a quiet and calm world, but those hearing aids partner with your other senses to keep you balanced and aware in the world. Be good to yourself.
