I am commenting now because I think I can help you identify your ground cover I believe it is Pachysandra. I had it under pine trees in our yard when we lived in Michigan. It is very hardy and a bit invasive. My complaint about it was it was hard to keep weeds from entangling in the vines Hope I have correctly identified your plant. Enjoy your summer and I pray you continue to heal. PS I too have a granddaughter named Madelyn but she is a senior in college We blinked and she is all grown up but she is just as sweet as she was when she was a toddler I better get some rest Blessing, Pat N Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501670654491773283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-69803666344103878712018-06-15T08:54:52.469-05:002018-06-15T08:54:52.469-05:00Jane,

They are just so fun at that age. Glad to hear that you are recovering slowly but surely. I sometimes think that our pets are truly responsible for keeping us going sometimes. They depend on us and we can't let them down. Especially when they are seniors. The lake house seems like the family hub and the perfect place for making wonderful memories. It always looks so pretty and welcoming with all your personal touches. Hope the healing continues to go smoothly for you. Too funny about the dirty sock smell.

I now have the city life and the country life. I'm going to be honest here since I don't think any of my family can see this comment..... do you find your city life so busy that you feel like you are escaping to the your 'other' life? We stay SO busy when we are home that in two or three days - we are already dreaming about getting back to the camper. I think part of that is the distance. When we are in Mart - or 7 miles outside of Mart at the ranch - no one can easily get to us. We can't drive 45 minutes and visit nursing homes and such. So we live life as a couple. We eat, drink, read and be. We do projects. He builds and I paint and write. Bottom line - I have long admired your two homes and now that I have my own......it is such a blessing!!!

Nothing much just the judge ordering that I stay in my house and he can't get anymore things from here until after mediation, July 19. This really sux. There we were standing before a judge about at divorce at the age of 66 and 75. So ridiculous. Bust I do enjoy living alone. I've really been fighting off anxiety and depression, or trying to. There's so many bad things going on in my life right now I just carefully put one foot in front of the other and try to make it. Just not a good time at all for me. Slow down some. You make me tired with all you are doing.

What a shame about the window, but at least nothing can get in until you can fix it. Madelyn is such a little doll. I could just pinch those sweet little cheeks. Thanks for your visit to me. We are having "great" weather the last few days. Sunshine with a little breeze at times. Too bad it can't stay like this all summer long, but that's not in the cards!.

So glad you were able to make it up to the lake house once again. Ugh on the window! It's always something, isn't it? Madelyn is just so darn adorable, I'd be eating her up! Not sure what that plant is...it doesn't look like a dianthus to me, but I know there's several varieties. Chalk painting the chairs will give the room the updated look you want, but be careful! That's a lot of work. I'm guessing you'll be starting PT soon, so I know you'll be extra busy.

You have had your hands full, especially with that "art glass" repair you have on your hands. I haven't been to the cottage yet -- hopefully the plumber can come this week and I can go up before Rick gets home from music camp and get started on cleaning, screens, porch furniture out and all that. It's always something and I"m always worried at what I'll find. (We had a bad squirrel experience one year who, among other dirty things, ate every kleenex and pillow bit he could sink his little teeth into). <br /><br />Your sweet girl is adorable and I'm looking forward to having the experience you had with the bird feeder when our Baby Grand is a little bit older -- he's getting close! <br /><br />I think you stopped by my blog while I was traveling. Since blogger isn't sending comments these days, I'm not sure without doublechecking but I think I saw it there.

At 18 months old and helping to fill feeders just being with Grandma & Grandpa is exhilarating for you I'm sure. As far as that plant, I will ask you to Google Dianthus images and look carefully at the leaves, stems, etc. as I don't think it is Dianthus. Your description of it's leaves tell me it's not. Now you (as I saved the best for last)...I am glad you recovered so quickly although it does take time so b patient and don't push yourself....:)JPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-19111096346994923122018-06-05T13:40:08.983-05:002018-06-05T13:40:08.983-05:00Hi Jane!

The lake house time away seems like an ideal escape, with family over the holiday (including that beautiful little grandbaby). The glass damage, while scary awful to have happened, was luckily a double pane. I wouldn't worry too much about getting a contractor right away, just by winter. Heck, if the lawn mower hadn't thrown a rock, you wouldn't even be thinking about it, right? <br />Sorry I can't help identify that plant, but if you need the space and it's not pleasing to look at, I say get rid of it! It's not a dianthus, those have much more delicate leaves.<br />Cheers to summer fun!Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-58353448419204369062018-06-05T07:30:24.917-05:002018-06-05T07:30:24.917-05:00Blondie, I like the way Madelyn greets you, with o...Blondie, I like the way Madelyn greets you, with open arms.
