It's not a typo...The Wandering Flowers are also known as The Wondering Flowers.
Did you know it was Dolly Parton Day! It's a playful nod to her hit movie 9 to 5! Get it? Today is 9/25. Patty bought a flag to fly today for the occasion. And I join her hoping this will become a nationally recognized day of music, service, generosity, and kindness....just part of Dolly's legacy.
And you know how much I love butterflies! Thanks Patty! I love that I can see your Dolly flag from my driveway!
Sam joined us for dinner and we ordered pizza...look what they wrote on the inside cover. How fun that Eddies Market is celebrating Dolly Day!
I had to laugh while Cherie and I were chatting about this new flower journey through email. She suggested the name Wondering Flowers. I was pretty sure she meant Wandering Flowers...and I was right. We probably both made the typo another time or two in our exchanges and today they are actually The Wondering Flowers.....wondering where they will end up.
Cherie and Dale are back at home in Western Pennsylvania....and the flowers will be boxed up soon and start the last leg of the journey via the postal service. Stay tuned.
Paul came home from the library one day with this puzzle. We both love our bluebirds....and he was sure I would love it.
The bluebirds had disappeared for the second half of the summer. I kept putting dried mealworms out every few days...and other birds would eventually eat them....but JUST YESTERDAY....a few bluebirds have came back. I'm so pleased.
I'll admit I wasn't overly excited about this one at first. I started it when Paul was in Colorado and finished it just a few days ago. Even though it was only 550 pieces...it still was a challenge....a lot of green...and a lot of red. It was only when I sorted the pieces by color AND shape...did I start to enjoy it. I worked loyally from top to bottom (Linda would be proud) and like many puzzles...the joy ended up surprising me. I'm sorting the next one....and it's going to be a doozy!
MaryAnn, we had a splashy evening sky finish to Dolly Day also! Definitely a vivid calm before the storm. LOVE the pizza box celebration of Dolly also.
ReplyDeleteJanice's flowers look made-to-order for your home! As though an interior decorator specifically requisitioned them : )
And the Wandering Flowers are an absolute wonder set with Cherie and Dale's front d door and sidelights as backdrop. Wow!
Splashy....made-to-order....and absolutely wonder just about sums it up! Thanks Dotty! Wow!
DeleteI love that this is Dolly Day - such a happy and giving person to celebrate in a fun way, 9-2-5!! Love Patty's flag, the pizza box tribute and that gorgeous sunset! And those wandering/wondering flowers do look great against that green door!! I got some errands in today, preparing for the weekend storm, and was amazed by the crowds at the grocery stores! I'm glad we were well stocked and I could avoid them! I'm planning to use this weekend inside for some studio organization and working on some curtains for our dining room. Hoping to make some to-do's turn in to ta-da's!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy...I could tell this was you. I didn't know about Dolly Day until Patty told me....and it turned out to be a great day! The grocery stores are always crowed before storms....I think you're going to get it worse down by you than we will here. Hoping for no damage. Enjoy your studio time making your to-do's ta-da's!!! Love that you brought that back!
DeleteOops, that was me, Judy! 😊
ReplyDeleteOh, I wasn’t aware of Dolly day…..how absolutely fabulous! Love that your pizza place wrote on your lid….. nice hometown touch! The wondering wandering flowers sure have traveled far…..I love seeing the flowers on the map :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love that there's a Dolly Day! Thanks for giving me an excuse to make a map! Another joyful journey!
