A memory is a photograph taken by the heart...to make a special moment last forever...and of all the memory-pictures that happy times can bring, the best are those that families make together ~

A little sign of Fall ~



My daughter gave me this wonderful smelling Pineapple-Mango scented candle and Silver Maple Leaf metal sleeve, for my birthday (love candles). I plan on changing the Summer scent to a Fall scent like, Autumn or Caramel Apples perhaps, so many to pick from!  ~ I am very much looking forward to Fall ~ one of my most favorite seasons ~ and it's not so hot.

Wild Maine Blueberry Jam ~



My neighbor just returned from, Maine, after visiting family members. . . the same neighbor I was house-sitting for and has the lovely garden, the one I so enjoyed tending too. She brought me a wonderful little gift . . . Wild Main Blueberry Jam and it is sensational! Promptly, I made myself a cup of tea and a slice of toast . . . I think it's the best jam I have ever had with the exception of my mom's homemade blackberry jam, which is my all time favorite.  I love the little jar and the label . . . thank you friend and neighbor, I am very grateful . . . I am hiding this little jar from my family, otherwise, this is the last time I would be able to enjoy it (good thing they have little or no interest in this blog)!

Birthday Orchid ~



I got this pretty Orchid plant from my friend and neighbor for my birthday . . . I have never had one of these so hopefully I can keep it going.  It has alot of blooms and I love the color of the flowers.

Eggplant and Orange flowers ~



My neighbor grew the pretty orange flowers and the eggplant in her garden. She doesn't recall the name of the flowers and I have no idea what they are but they sure are pretty . . . the buds actually open up after they have been picked. Thank you, neighbor!
