behind the garden gate


I made this card a while back for a very special lady (Jacqueline) and forgot to post it.
I have not been able to spend much time blogging or visiting my lovely flickr friends due to long work hours.  I miss you all. The weather is hot and today, very humid.

My garden
I got up early this morning to water my garden before leaving for work. I noticed my several heads of lettuce had grown full and tall. I was looking forward to that lettuce this evening ... however when I went to pick it ... some little critter got there before ... and had it all!
I walked to the back by the raspberry bush and I figure I knew who to blame
as I walked down the path, I saw the wild guineafowl run and oh they looked so very ashamed!

i'm a poet and didn't know it ;)

 
I hope to get some photos of these cute little guineafowl this weekend.

Thanks so very much for your visit. Have yourself a wonderful weekend!

  5. Another Flickr gal missing you here too. Lol. Your sweetness and many beautiful cards are an inspiration to us all. So we miss you when your not there. Hope your doing well and that your summer is being enjoyed. So love this beauty that you shared today. So love the diffrent colours that you used, but it is still so romantic and vinage. Gorgeous colours and design. So sorry you didn't get to eat the fruit (in this case veggie) of your labour. Rest easy knowing you feed one of God's creatures, though very sneeky. Lol. Take care sweetie. Hugs.
