Well, Hello There ...
Didn't mean to be away so long.
I've been having problems with being able to upload photos to my blog. Since I'm not fond of blog posts with no photos, this was beyond frustrating. My tech skills are very limited. I tried my usual methods ( restart, turn off, unplug, etc.) to no avail. Since I wasn't even sure what the problem was, I wasn't sure how to even "google it". Today I made a stab at it and am feeling quite happy with myself that I somehow made it work. Not sure if I just got lucky or what, but it's good to be back to it.
The weather here has been delightful.
The cooler temperatures and shorter days have inspired me to clip some hydrangeas for fall decor.
I rounded up several vases and filled them with some of my clippings. Once the water evaporates, they should be dried and ready for adding to the various baskets and pitchers around my home.
While rounding up the vases, I went through my collection and sent most of them to new homes at the local thrift shops. Lately I have been in the mood to declutter anything and everything around here.
Since retiring, I am looking at things with a fresh perspective and trying to organize our home (and garage) to align better with this new phase of life.
These limelight hydrangeas were picked a few weeks ago and have dried nicely. I love how they pair well with my collection of brown transferware dishes.
Starting to sneak a few fall touches into the built ins.
While the calendar is still showing summer, the weather is hinting at fall which always puts me in the mood for nesting.

Your home always looks beautiful. Glad you got your picture download problem fixed. So nice to see a post from you. :)
ReplyDeleteYour home looks lovely with the touches of Fall 🍂🍂🍂. Good for you figuring out how to get pictures onto your blog. Hopefully no more issues.
ReplyDeleteI've got dried Hydrangeas in vases too. They look Fallish and will do until it's time for Christmas decorations to come out :)
Your hydrangeas are drying beautifully. I should cut some of ours, but they'd be lost in the general clutter . . . 😟
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteI love your fresh fall touches!!! I want so bad to have some dried hydrangeas! Yours are beautiful!!!! Happy Weekend!
I agree, I would be so frustrated if I couldn't post photos!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks so nice, I love the Fall touches. Hydrangeas dry so nicely.
Several people have mentioned having upload problems. Wonder what the glitch is. There have been changes to blogger over the years that I'm none too happy with. I love hydrangea but they certainly would not fare well in this desert environment. I did find some faux bouquets in the street that someone had thrown out and they matched nicely with a painted wooden bucket that I also found in the trash. Both came home with me on separate occasions and now they sit nicely together in my hallway. :) Our weather is slowly changing but still hot. I'll be happy when we get down to the low 70's. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYour home is always lovely, Kim. I especially like the turquoise pumpkin. Dried hydrangeas are a favourite around here, too, and I'm planning to cut some this week. Love your limelights.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
I've heard another blogger on blogspot saying she had the same uploading problem that you did, so I bet it was a glitch with them. I had that problem last year with them when I was still blogging.
ReplyDeleteYour decor looks so pretty. I especially like that glowing lamp in the first photo. Thanks for the reminder about the hydrangeas. I'm going to go outside and cut some now and bring them inside. They're so pretty when they dry out for the fall.
Hello! Well, you know how I feel about fall, so you know I love the fall touches around your lovely home! I hope you are having a happy September thus far, and Happy Fall!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to have you back. Dealing with technical issues is so frustrating, especially when you're not sure why something isn't working. It's awesome that you were able to figure it out and get your photos uploaded. Decluttering can be so freeing, and those dried hydrangeas look so beautiful with your transferware dishes. They're the perfect touch of fall.
