I lost count somewhere around twelve.
One we moved twice.
So that doesn’t count.

That’s how the missus shepherd lab mix greeted me when I first met him.
*ugh*
He had dog breath..

A hundred dollars each??? I'll pass. I've got a whole desktop full of perfectly good ones....although much more ordinary than your famous ones. ;-)

Thanks for always finding the perfect graphics to accompany our celebrations....and so quickly! You are amazing.

Mornin' OESY!

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, lovely!!! Wonder what the name of that one is? It is a beautiful color!

Good morning to you too, MEG.

Here's one on "Dreams" by Helen Steiner Rice (Another one of my favorite poets)

Climb ‘Til Your Dream Comes True
by: Helen Steiner Rice

Often your tasks will be many,
And more than you think you can do.
Often the road will be rugged
And the hills insurmountable, too.
But always remember,
The hills ahead
Are never as steep as they seem,
And with Faith in your heart
Start upward
And climb ‘til you reach your dream.
For nothing in life that is worthy
Is ever too hard to achieve
If you have the courage to try it,
And you have the faith to believe.
For faith is a force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill,
And many defeats turn to triumph
If you trust in God's wisdom and will.
For faith is a mover of mountains,
There's nothing that God cannot do,
So, start out today with faith in your heart,
And climb ‘til your dream comes true!

I hope they all give you many years of lovely blooms.

I just love the picture and the accompanying poem, OESY! Thank you.

[Darksheare]

I hope so as well.
One snapped roots left and right as we tried to gently remove it from it’s previous spot.
Thing had a root system far bigger than what we’d expected.

[Mama_Bear]

Another poem that I can understand, and up upside-down tree. In dreams trees can grow upside-down.

I had a dream once that my brother and I were in a jail cell and there were pink elephants wandering around outside the cell. I spent the entire dream trying to explain to him that in some parts of the world pink elephants are normal. He always was a little dense. LOL.

Thanks for yet another great contribution.

[Mama_Bear]

“Climb ‘Til Your Dream Comes True” - very nice. :-)

[MEG33]

Thank you! Tradescant is the name of the rose...a David Austin rose

Absolutely beautiful....picture and words. You’ve done it again, Lori.

I’m gonna be on the run in a little while, starting with a hair appointment. Check in later I hope. Have a wonderful day.

[stopem1]

Good morning all!

Love some of those recipes!
Thanks!

[jaycee]

Sounds like a fun day...wish I could stay here and play! Before I saw that, I had just hit my mouse down on the pad because when I push Reply it takes forever for it to come up. Thought if I would jar it, it would go faster. LOL~~

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks for the name. I am going to write than down, I’d love to have one that color in my garden.
