Still a bit anxious about the snake as they do hang around, and the Cardinal garden is full of delicious things to hunt.

I hope he leaves one of his beautiful red feathers behind for you to keep.<br /><br />How I wish I had the talent to make my own dresses! I miss being able to buy dresses with sleeves. They all seem to be sleeveless these days. Your grey linen dress is lovely. I love cotton and linen.

I hope you feel better soon. <br /><br />Your linen dress looks lovely - remember not to iron the piping with the iron set for linen - just go up to it, not over it!Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-34814375425431937182014-10-20T21:55:40.788-07:002014-10-20T21:55:40.788-07:00We do have some exotic birds, but lots of plain on...We do have some exotic birds, but lots of plain ones too. I love a blue jay or a robin when visiting the northern hemisphere. Fun trying to take a bee's photo, isn't it?

Still, I love to look at the birds, and if I saw this one, I think I'd be entranced with it. I just took a picture of a bee swarming on purple flowers too, and it's on my post today. That dress is so stylish, you did a great job. hmmmm, lamb with lavender, never heard of that before. Being Greek, I'm familiar with lamb very much. I hope you are enjoying your summer, Patricia.
