@sheba2011

Shall I call you hilarious, lol!! That made me laugh and fall off the chair.🤣 I sure hope you got your slice of pie.🍒🥧 I remember I had to do that when you posted the key lime pie. Was out the next day getting one. Yes, I had a teeny slice last night and a piece with my coffee this morning.

The new clothes you posted from David Meister look very nice. I will have to check them out. I also love the flower/petal dresses, so cute.🥰 We would always smell good wearing them.

Going to see mom and sis tomorrow for our tea and talk.☕ And whatever she wants to feed me. The visit is not complete unless you eat. I will look forward to the evening posts in case you come up with some new names! Love to you in Oz from me in the ‘burgh.💗

@shoelady60,

I am so glad you saw this that pie was on my mind all night. 😘😂🤣

I will have one slice of pie your hubby sure knows how to get to you and all of us too. 😎

Creating a Garden Sanctuary

A personal outdoor sanctuary is an important part of feeling connected to all of life.

Each of us has been blessed with an innate need to celebrate and glorify life. At a most basic level, we honor the forces that came together to bring us into being by caring for our bodies and our souls. To truly rejoice in existence, we must also learn to cultivate loveliness in those special places that replenish the soul. When we create a garden sanctuary, we are reminded that we are a part of both nature’s essence and something more. An outdoor retreat is a place we can surround ourselves in nature, beauty, and the life force. It is not difficult to create a sanctuary — we should endeavor, however, to create sanctuaries that speak to us as individuals.

Whether we have a yard, a grassy corner, a patio, or a porch at our disposal, our creative potential is infinite. Any of these spaces can become a magnificent garden. When we feel drawn to specific themes such as Zen, angels, paradise, or the ethereal, we should explore them. Décor and furniture crafted from natural materials like wood and stone blend seamlessly into nature. Yet we can also augment the natural world by filling our garden sanctuaries with statues, bells or gongs, or colorful flags. Running water, like that in a created stream or fountain, helps energy flow smoothly. If space is a concern, crystals and mirrors can fulfill the same function. Hidden features like concealed swings and reflecting pools veiled in shadow can surprise and delight. As your garden sanctuary evolves, remember to invite the elemental spirits of nature to assist you in your efforts to create a small pocket of harmony, beauty, and peace in your own backyard. If you have not already felt their presence, sit quietly in your garden and reach out to them. You will feel these earthly guides at your side as you continue to develop your sanctuary.

In the refuge of brilliant color, sweet scents, and stillness you create in your garden, the burdens imposed upon you by a sometimes hectic world will melt away. The splendor and tranquility of what you have brought into being will entrance you, allowing you to forget the constraints of time and space. No matter how large or small your garden sanctuary, the time you spend reveling in its pleasures will refresh your spirit and provide you with innumerable opportunities to celebrate life. 💕😎

for it to last this long.

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. 😘💕Lady as you know I do this thread off the top of
my head nothing is planned or copied from any other blogs out on the web.

I do all this once my fingers hit the keyboard. 🤣I only post what I can relate to.
Being in the Fashion and Music world has taught me so much. I treasure those times.
The genius’s I have met along the journey I can never re-live in this life. I thank god
for those moments. 😘😎

I will say your post last night had me rolling. 🤣I pay no attention when hubby bring
home sweets but the thought of pie had me going all night. I should not have posted
that Cherry Pie. 😂It was on my mind all night long. OMG! I needed that laugh so much.

Tell me did you have at least one slice? I tell you what I am getting just one slice today
from my favorite bakery that sells whole or by the slice. 😘Thank you for sharing and I
hope you have a great weekend with Mom and Sister. 😘💕

I will be here off and on during Trivia. 😘💕

@71flowerchild,

Good day in Texas. Pretty sure you are busy. Good luck planting as you know OZ is not
ready for me to plant just yet. 💕Have a safe weekend.

Give Jewell and Little D a nice OZ pet. We are raining here in OZ and we need it. 😘

@oodiebom,

Good day in Florida. Oodie this is busy day for you and I hope you opened your
new bedding I am so wishing this is what you like. 😘🌹

I have been doing a bit of spring cleaning the entire neighborhood is.
I am feeling somewhat better today I think I pushed myself too much sometimes. 😎

Oodie I did not make a mistake on the Cherry Pie whom Shoelady60 hubby brought
home for some reason that pie was on my mind all night. All I need is one slice and Cherry
pie is my favorite. 🤣I don’t do a lot of sweets for Lent I gave up chocolates. 💕
So let’s all have a slice of Cherry Pie and we will work it off. 🤣

Get those beauty winks and see you tonight in Trivia. 😎
