A "Mad Tea Party"...!!!!!!!

.

Since I am again trying to accumulate more Gold Stars.  (See here...)  Which means I have to avoid news-news-news-news-news.  And (yesterday) it was broiling hot outside.  Can't even have windows/doors open.  Let alone stick my head out the door. 

So I was hopping around Blog Land.  Going from one blog to another and on and on...  I came across a lovely blog, which I had forgotten about.   One with lovely photos and it's just very, very pretty all-round.  A magical place!   And you know I love, love, love magical.

"A Fanciful Twist"

I found her again, because she is having another "Mad Tea Party" and her button (above) for this,  was on another blog's sidebar.  And it is today!  I will certainly want to be attending!!!! 

We don't have to participate, to attend you know.  I'm just not that "magically-able" to think up such pretty things, for such a post.  But I'm sure that others, will do their blog entries up, in a lovely and enchanting way.

Hope to see you there!!!!

It is also Opening Day at the Track.

.

And he has gone to work, for a couple of hours, in the family drug store.   He doesn't have to.   He wants to.  It gets him down in the center of town, on the Big Opening Day.

.

Where he has been, for the last 58 years...

I award myself, a GOLD STAR!!!! :-)))

Autumn advertising...  Already....   Oh I suppose stores are full of back-to-school stuff.  But I don't go into stores, except when I need something.  So I haven't seen it.  But here came the on-line Victorian Trading Co. mail.  And silly me, it caught me off guard. 

.

Then again, why am I surprised at Autumn selling?  The Black Eyed Susans are beginning to bloom.  And they are a late Summer into Fall flower.

.

Getting a "lot of mileage" out of these lovely Tuberous Begonias in the big pot, on the front step...  :-)   We always put these flowers, in this pot, and they always thrive.  This is facing North, and does not get hardly any direct sunlight.  It stays quite moist.  They just love it!

.

There!!!  I award myself a Gold Star.

I got through a post,
