Certainly, if you haven't met an accident, you could have not taken that butterfly picture as you will surely be spotted easily. I just wonder how you have "tamed" those bluebirds to have a nest on your garden. They like your garden that much.Crystal Fishhttp://www.crystalfigurinegifts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-87198764942677072682010-06-29T16:41:56.526-04:002010-06-29T16:41:56.526-04:00I love your photography and beautiful blog.

I hop...Thank you Kim, that was such a lovely post.<br /><br />I hope you are feeling better day by day.<br /><br />I agree that Patience is a MUST have virtue for gardeners. We plant these tiny little green leaves and WAIT for them to emerge into flowering wonders!

I lifted a little stone bunny statue and carried it all over the store. My arms literally ached for two weeks.<br /><br />Your garden is so pretty. It's hard to be patient, but your mother is right. It's so worth the wait. God bless you Kim with speedy recovery.

I am amazed though at how beautiful your gardens appear through it all. Your tomatoes made my mouth water. Your bench with the impatients made me want to find something similar for my garden. Take care my friend. Like you were told, good things do come to those who wait.

I have suffered with degenerative disk disease since my late twenties. I can honestly say that without the stretching exercises I loyally do twice per day, I would be a mess. I had back surgery at 30 and owned a cane. At 40, a sports doctor taught me how to do these, and I have no sciatic pain. NONE! I do far too much, but when you're properly stretched before you attempt something like this, you're far less likely to suffer injury. I've been doing these exercises for 13 years now.<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-82381773229543368632010-06-23T13:13:15.666-04:002010-06-23T13:13:15.666-04:00What a lovely post and a good lesson about patienc...What a lovely post and a good lesson about patience. :-)<br />Your gardens are so pretty!happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-64138092061203580692010-06-23T11:58:57.457-04:002010-06-23T11:58:57.457-04:00You lifted that?

Your flowers are so beautiful, and home grown tomatoes I too am so waiting to taste.Also love my beautiful butterflies too.<br /><br />I also know what it is like to want to be out in the garden and can't . it is like a child looking in a candy store, wanting to go in but can't because of not having the money to buy. But the advise your mom gave you is so true.I recently didn't take my mother's advice about a ladder and had a fall. Needless to say when I told her about my fall, she reminded me . lol<br />You asked about what type of cukes I used in my relish it is the regular pickling kind. this relish is so easy and delicious. Thank you for coming by and for taking the time to leave me such a sweet comment. I will be praying for continued healing of your back.<br />Hugs,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949983164111997270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-9673560062242055002010-06-22T22:31:09.565-04:002010-06-22T22:31:09.565-04:00Kim, I know it must bug you to not be moving freel...Kim, I know it must bug you to not be moving freely.
