The Joy of Summer!

‘Preciate that! Thank you, Steve!

I’m glad you like this combination, too! Thank you, my friend!

What a nice thing to say, Tom! It’s been a busy summer, hopefully Fall will give me more time on the Bubble.

I’m pleased you like this, Evita! Thank you!

Hi, sweet Ruth! Thank you very much!

Thanks, Thelma! Have you ever tried this combination?

The colors would be perfect for the 4th, Lynn! Are they out where the neighbors can enjoy their significance with you? – Pat P.S. My daughter almost went into Art Therapy, settled instead for an Art History major, but now works with developmentally disabled adults.

These do resemble baby breath a lot, don’t they? These particular ones are a white lobelia and the blossoms themselves are a little larger than the b.b. Either of them add so much a a colorful bouquet! – Pat

Hi, Jim! I’m so pleased to hear from you, my painting friend! Thanks for your very kind comment! – Pat

Thank you very much, Eva!

I’m glad you like this color combination, too, Kathy – it’s so easy to put together – just have to keep deadheading the petunias!

Your Spring is here, Linda! How wonderful! Enjoy your flowers to the full, my friend, and thank you for your sweet compliments on this photo!

I’m glad you enjoy this color combination, too, Barb! Thanks for stopping by! – Pat

Thank you, Rick! I think of you and your far-away friend often, and hope things are going well for you!

How nice of you to comment, Gabbie! Thank you very much! – Pat

I’m so pleased you like it, Katy! Thank you, my friend! – Pat

How lovely, Ruth! Thank you very much! – Pat

Evita, you are always so sweet! Thank you very much! – Pat

I’m glad you like them, too, Jeffee!

Thanks for a lovely comment, Tibby!

Thanks, Maxy, for taking the time to write out such a beautiful comment! You made my day, friend! ~ Pat

You are such a dear, Lois! Always so bright and positive! Thank you for your fun compliment, my friend! I really needed that! Our dear dog, Piper, on RB in “The Queen on Her Throne,” had a terrible seizure yesterday, her first one ever, and for 2-1/2 hours didn’t recognize me and was afraid of me. She’s much better now, and Monday we should get results from a blood test today at the vet’s. Anyway, your loving comment is such a boon just now! Thanks so much!! ~ Pat

Thanks, Dee! Yes, the delicate white lacy look of the lobelia is always such a welcome part of little arrangements, isn’t it?!

You are so kind, Irma! Thank you very much, my friend!

I’m so pleased you like this color combination, Carlos! It’s one of my fafvorites – thank you for your very kind words! ~ Pat

Your words, dear Tereza, are always so very uplifting! Thank you for your kind and loving heart, dear friend!

I am always so thankful, Ana, that our loving God has given us so many beautiful colors, shapes, and fragrances to enjoy in flowers, and I’m glad this particular combination brings happiness to you! Thank you for letting me know! ~ Pat

Thanks so much, Sean ~ I’m really pleased you like it! It’s given our front yard such a bright spot this summer. The tiny white blossoms on the lobelia are such a help in setting off other colors.

Thank you, Fino – it’s fun to try different angles from time to time to see how things might look a bit better.

Oh, thank you, Henri – I’m so pleased you like it! ~ Pat

A neat reply, John! Thank you! ~ Pat

I’m with you, Ken! I’d be delighted if spring would arrive tomorrow! At least we can take comfort in the fact that beginning tomorrow, the light of each new day will be a bit longer than the previous one! I’m pleased these flowers give you the promise of warmer weather (and color!) ahead! ~ Pat
