The following takes place...

Between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM















"Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity." ~John Ruskin

And for you 24 fans...of course Jack Bauer can quote poetry. Geez.

    Your garden is so beautiful Jenny! We are just beginning to see the tress bloom and we have to wait until June for roses. Yesterday my husband and I went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden to see if the cherry trees were blooming ... about half of them were and i took so many photos of them (future blog post...lol)

    PS:To answer your comment question on my blog --
    My hubby and I have volunteering for about 8 years on a Civil War Veteran project at Green-Wood and after identifying the veterans through records we have been ordered gravestones from the VA administration -- almost 3,000 new gravestones have been installed! In the process of doing that the cemetery historian realized that the almost 200 year old cemetery records were deteriorating and to save them we are now in the process of removing the records from envelopes and unfolding them and placing them in archival acid free folders, The next step will be to scan the records on computer discs. We are working with an archivist from Brooklyn College to do this work. Out of 600,000 records we've completed about 35,000 so far! It's fascinating work.

    Yes I am a 24 fan and I think you would make Jack proud with all your lovely flowers. That is a "nice light' time to take photos. I also like to snap pics around 6 to 8 p.m. but wait, I would have to DVR 24!

    Very pretty! It looks like the kids had lots of fun playing with the bubbles, and Oskar too! I think it would be fabulous if you could teach him to sing. My niece and nephew were just watching videos on YouTube of singing dogs and dogs that say I love you, it was so much FUN to watch!

    So pretty...
    is it that green there already
    and that many flowers...sigh
    it would be late Aug. Before it looks like that here
    are those gourds growing there or are they ornamental
    birdhouses maybe?

    Your garden is so lovely! Your roses are so pretty they are making me nauseous. I wish mine looked that nice! 'Course they need to bloom first, but we're still waiting for that perfect weather to reach TN. :)

    LOL... my husband is a huge 24 fan... me, not so much. How many times can Jack Bauer DIE??? I like the guy, don't get me wrong, but it got to ridiculous numbers, people. And I am so tired of the angst-ridden faces of Chloe and Agent whatever her name is. The redhead that's going nuts.

    Sorry, I know you adore them. As does the Man.

    The roses are just beautiful! I hope mine bloom before the darn deer eat them! Then I will eat the deer! :)

    I'm seriously green with envy. Holy Carp and Flounder, Matlock!!! You are magic in a blog AND in a garden!!!

    Are those gourds I spy? The kind of gourds that dry and can be painted or wood burned? Don't you just want to paint one for me? Don't you? Just one? Maybe? Pretty please? With something gluten-free on top?

    The flowers are beautiful, although I think this would make 24 lose some viewers who might have been expecting a little more action!

    But I'll stick around - it's too pretty not to. :)

    OMG I burst right out laughing and could actually 'hear' the voice that says: THE FOLLOWING TAKES PLACE BETWEEN THE HOUR...."

    Yes, a 24 fan. No so much this year, but years past. Oh My.

    However, your posts are nourishment for a weary 'day at the desk' spirit.

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
