Hi Everyone!
I'm going to try to get back to blogging as much as I can. Today is the T-Party over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's.
I'm still getting ready for my show in Sept. no matter what is going on with my health. I have 2 friends that will be joining me this year and I am all up for it to be loads of fun. Of course, and making money. LOL
The weather has been cold and windy. We are not even getting up to 60°F during the day. Keeping my gardens covered in poly is helping, except for my sweet potatoes. I don't think they will make it. I do have some flowers to show you though.
These are some hardy plants.

This came up from last year.  |
This is a new one for me.  |
|
I love Marigolds.  |
This is new too, but as I write this I can't remember the names.  |
|
Orange Marigold  |
I love these Alyssums. I have planted them in several places.  |
|
I have always wanted these creeping ground flowers. A lot of people grow them here.  |
These just make me happy.  |
|
Can this be any more yellow?  |
No flowers yet but these are Sunflowers.  |
Now for my drink. Since my throat has been on fire from my thyroid, all I want is ice cold drinks and popsicles. So here is my favorite smoothie. 3 kinds of berries with sparkling water. It is so good.
Have a great day!
Nicole

...I remember being in Cannon Beach in July and I nearly froze. Be well.
Beautiful flowers and a yummy smoothie -- sweet!
Hi Nicole, sorry about the colder weather-no fun for gardening. Lovely flowers and your smoothie looks really delicious. Happy T hugs Kathy
WE're still on the cooler side for late May too.But a little warmer than you, only not too much warmer.We've mostly been in the 60's. And that must awful having your throat burning. Your smoothie looks yummy. And refreshing. It's the perfect T day drink. Have a great T day and week ahead. hugs-Erika
I wish you the very best of luck with your sales when the time comes.
Those yellow and orange marigolds are my favorite marigolds! Your flowers look great! :)
The flowers are so pretty. They are great for mental health
I would gladly take your weather and you can have my 80s F. You have some beautiful flowers. I recognized the marigolds, but that was it. They are all beautiful and be great as they mature this year.
Goodness that smoothie looks delicious. Fresh berries and everything. Thanks for sharing these amazing flowers and your smoothie with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nicole. It's great to see you for T, too.
Wonderful photos, and love the look of your drink, yummy! I am still struggling healthwise here, too. Let's hope things get better soon! Hugs, Valerie
Dear Nicole,
it was also very cold here for (almost) all of April and May, but summer broke out a few days ago. I'll keep my fingers crossed that all your plants survive and the sweet potatoes too! Your smoothie looks extremely delicious!
All the best 🌱🌿🌱 and happy T-Day, Traude

Seeing your smoothie reminds me that I used to make them regularly for breakfast and haven't done so in a couple of years. Must get back into the habit. Yours looks wonderful and I can well imagine that the coolness feels great on a raging throat. All the best - David
Beautiful flower pictures! Hoping your potatoes make it!!!
I know your show will be fabulous, Nicole, and it is nice to have a giant goal like that.
Hoping your throat gets better soon. That drink looks wonderful!
Giant hugz and happy T-day.
Cold over here, too. Your drink looks great, as do the flowers! Great you have friends to join you on the sale then - good luck and heaps of fun! And to better weather, happy T-Day!
We have had a few days that were downright hot already. This morning is pleasantly cool, but with a threat of more rain.
The flowers are lovely. I particularly like the one from last year and the pink one that you didn’t remember the name.
Beautiful flowers Nicole, your smoothie looks delicious, I find them very filling when my husband makes them.
Happy T Day. Jan S
I hope your throat will be better soon. This smoothie looks yummy. Good luck with your show. I hope it will go very well!
Happy T-Day!
Your flowers are so pretty. The weather is too chilly for me for the smoothie, but I'll keep that in mind when the warmer weather arrives. Hope you feel better. Happy T Day
Flowers and Smoothies.. who could want for anything more!!!? Best of Wishes on your Sale... i hope all goes well and you make lots of $$ and have lots of FUN! Happy T day! Hugs! deb
Your smoothie looks delicious! It seems chilly where you are...but your flowers are lovely. I recently lost sweet potatoes but that was because it was too hot.
Looking forward to hearing more about your art show as it gets closer.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
It's cold here too. I've gone back to wearing winter clothes.
Your flowers are gorgeous. I don't know what they are called either.
Your smoothie looks delicious.
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
I'm so sorry you are still struggling with health issues. I have had two good days in a row-crossing fingers it will continue. I will keep praying for you-I am concerned. It can be very very hard to have continual health problems. I'm really glad you are still creating because that helps a lot. I think the flower you forgot the name of is called 'cosmos.' Thinking of you...
Its a real treat seeing all of your flowers. I love the pink one. Your smoothie looks and sounds wonderful, Happy T Day, Chrisx
amazing flowers and refreshing drinks. Sorry about your thyroid.
Such beautiful flowers! I don't have any of those, so the photos were nice to see. Happy T Tuesday
Nicole, your smoothie looks delicious! And so do the flowers in your garden. The "nameless" flower is cosmos, both the pink one and the white one above it. How fun that you will have another show in September, and it's nice to do it together with friends. However, you probably have a lot to do before that I assume. Have a good week!
Cosmos are a favorite flower for their height and color variety. The white cosmos I don't see often.
A 3 berry smoothie sounds and looks good.
Welcome back. I know what you mean on getting ready for a show early. Mine is in November but we are thinking of traveling in October which makes me realize there really isn't much time and I should get started. I can't believe I'm writing there isn't much time till November.
Hi nicole ! I hope you are feeling better and that you enjoy that smoothie, it looks delicious.
I really like all your flowers, and I'm sure they will bloom beautifully. Happy Friday and take care of yourself.
Big hugs, Caty
