What's Happening

As many of you know, Beep, (my granddaughter) is spending her summer school holiday days with me.  We've had some nice (cooler) weather, so much of our day is spent outside 
 
I am also in the midst of an MS (Multiple Sclerosis) relapse.
Winning a few battles, but the war is far from over.
 
Serious reading!
 
Butterflies visiting
 
Bubble fun
 
Faerie gardens completed. A haven for faeries, handmade by Beep and gramma.
 
Garden harvests, yes...she loves beets!
 
Yard birds stopping by, Blue Jay

Blossoms blooming

  3. I can't believe how big Beep is getting! Love the Fairy Village -- I'll bet you had fun creating it together! Those white blossoms are gorgeous -- what are they? Sorry that the MonSter still has you in its grip -- hope you're better soon. Enjoy the remainder of summer vacation with that cutie!

  9. Hi Karen: MS is a truly awful disease, Karen, and my heart goes out to you. A good friend of mine, a young woman suffers from it and I know what you are going through. Be strong if you can. I wish for you nothing but the best.

  10. Your gdaughter "Beep" is absolutely beautiful.

    Funny I have a fav pic of my youngest years ago holding radishes at her Great Aunties home when she was helping with the garden.....my aunt is long gone but to this day my daughter is an excellent gardener.

    I think you will find Beep is too years from now.

    Your nature pics wow me, always have.

    Have a happy healthy week, my sweet friend. ♥

  14. Great fairy garden. Beep has good taste liking beets. I planted beets for my high school plant science farm project. I was shocked to find how many people did NOT want beets :).

    Keep enjoying Beeps Holiday looks like you are having a great time! Hope the relapse boogies away soon.

  30. Beep looks like she is enjoying your garden and the bubbles. My grandfather's garden even when I was 5 years old was a big inspiration to me, my parents were too busy to garden much. Have you looked into colloidal silver (testimonies) http://curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1068775#i
    or curcumin for MS?

  31. How beautiful she is and I love the little garden... Oh, I was hoping that the symptoms would recede and is still do... Healing hug,,, michelle

  50. What gorgeous photos! And it looks like you and your grand-daughter are having a very special time together! I love having my grandson here! I am so sorry you are having an MS relapse. A dear friend of mine in TX also has MS and she told me the summer heat exacerbates it every year. I hope and pray you will get better soon.

    ReplyDelete
  51. WOW bet Beep is enjoying every moment of it - with creativity, the birds/squirrels/flowers in your garden, the garden project etc it will make good memories for her when she in the future thinks back on her childhood
    That darn MS! showing it's ugly face here too, so "just" have to take it one step at the time - think the company of Beep might be refreshing for you as help momentarily to think about other much more fun things.
    Take care Karen!!
