Finding Bliss. 4

Food and flowers were bliss this past week or so.
Eating at this cafe is edible bliss. Alex and Sarah took me here and it's become one of my favorite places to dine when I'm in Denver. Actually it's near their new home in Thornton, so I'm looking forward to more visits to the  Vietnamese Cafe.
My garden has a few final blossoms.
Mini roses in pink and yellow.
A standard pink rose, ready to open, with three more buds. This fragrant bloom may be the final one because the other buds may not open before a possible frost this Friday.

A few petunias, most are ready to be pulled out.
New pansies planted for fall.
Delicate colors.
 The baby tears has grown so much and will come into the house for fall and winter.
The rest of the yard is a wreck and is in need of a good mowing. The pasture, too! Weeds everywhere and I'm lacking ambition to work on it. This September was my real month of adjustment to retirement and have decided I need to get over it and get busy. Have a lovely week looking for bliss inside and out.

Planters and Pots

Pansies.
Planters with petunias and a few other things.
So far, 36 planters and pots are filled! Now they just need time to grow and no more wind would help a lot.
Now out to the back. I'm quite sure my only disability is being O. L. D. -- as in just plain old. I'm keeping my eyes open for slithering varmits, too. I've seen several here and on the road to town, out in the Land of Blog, and even when I went to check out my brother's yard an hour away. No pictures EVER on this blog!

Pink Carnations



Sarah and Wally brought these pretty carnations home last weekend for us to enjoy. The flowers were getting so heavy I had to trim the stems shorter and shorter to keep them upright. They ended up in this pretty vase that I got one summer at the "upscale" thrift shop in Estes Park. The woman at the shop commented on the "cut crystal", but I wasn't fooled and really didn't care that it is only pressed glass. I just loved the shape and the heavy bottom so it won't tip over. I seem to have quite a growing collection of glass items!
