 ❤️ Great-granddaughter, Rosie Jewell,  has always loved books. ❤️  September 2019, Rosie Jewell was barely two years old when she “read” books to toys and dolls. ❤️  Rosie Jewell traced words in books with her fingers and babbled stories to the toys. ❤️  Somehow she understood the words told a story -  thanks to her mommy, Megan Jewell reading to her! ❤️ Magic happens when you read to a child! ❤️  ❤️  Megan Jewell & Rosie Jewell ❤️ My cup runneth over.

 ❤️ SOMEONE - whose shall remain anonymous- attempted to help me weed one of the front gardens and in doing so took out not only weeds but took out approximately 150 sunflower plants that were 12 inches tall.   It made me sick to my stomach because I envisioned a field of sunflowers for their beauty and for photo ops. Sarah wants revenge for the anonymous person who plucked out the sunflowers that were to provide her with many, many sunflower seeds for snacks. Sigh. “Maybe they will come up again, “ the anonymous person said.  “I didn’t uproot them.  I just cut them off.” Oh!  sure.   MAYBE in three more months a few will rise out of the ashes  and raise their heads toward the sun. ❤️ Today I spotted something in the midst of the vinca. ❤️ ONE LONELY SUNFLOWER rising out of the ashes. ❤️ ONE.  Out of 150 sunflower seeds. ❤️ It’s a SUNFLOWER MIRACLE.   THANKS FOR STOPPING BY. COME BACK OFTEN. INVITE YOUR FRIENDS. Alway Grateful. Always Learning. Flawed but Fabulous. ❤️ Mary Marcia Artis

 ❤️ I had this idea.  ❤️  ❤️ The fabric on (daughter) Sarah’s  favorite chaise lounge is tearing away from the frame.  She got rid of one for the same reason.  The frame is so sturdy I thought it would be wise to fix it.   ❤️ So I made a trip to ACE Hardware store and purchased some nautical nylon cord like we used to tie up the pontoon boat.  It was a better buy to get 50 feet of prepackaged rope  for $22 plus tax rather than pay 99 cents per foot.  I estimated I would use 24 feet but I used all 50 feet. ❤️ It worked!  I wrapped the rope around the frame and tied it securely topping the ends off with heavy packing tape. ❤️ I put a colorful beach blanket from ROSS on top.   ❤️ Sarah was skeptical but she she likes it and so do two of our four pups,  Coco & Dandy. Sarah, Dandelion, Sir Coconut, Pearl & Daisy Dandelion ❤️ We might add a thin foam cushion between the nylon rope and the beach blanket to make it softer. ❤️ If you have a chaise with torn fabric - give it a try!  ❤️ T
