I think summer is gone and fall is surely here

I haven't been blogging for what seems a long time. This morning I woke up to this critter chirping - he begins his morning song about 5:30 and he has a systematic chirping that happens much like an alarm clock! He lives somewhere in the front flower bed I think he is a small frog or maybe a displaced spring chirper that has his clock messed up. Nontheless he has woken me from my slumber now 3 days in a row. ! I need to get up and be busy about the house and farm here anyway. I have a hard time getting things accomplished here as I want to be at work more than I want to be here. So much going on at The Dutch Tulip. It is coming together.... I am excited we have Callie's desk in the hall now it looks so pretty. Next is Tracey's , But she does have it switched about. It is so fun to see this all mesh and fit.- Like a puzzle - I am just so excited I can't tell you. Another wedding booked for May 1 and I have one next saturday that is all paid.... Each one is pretty and different in it's own right. Every bride wants something different. Fun to see it come to pass. They most of them spend their entire lives dreaming about their wedding, in a few short hours it's a memory as you watch it then unfold a million times over on a photograph. I have tried to count the girls whom I have done wedding flowers. I can't. There are many many many. Years and years of floral history. Fun for me to enjoy the lives of the girls who have hung in their marriage and now I see them raising babies of their own. :) What a pleasure to enjoy a lifetime of relationships. There are even a few whom I had the opportunity to do their highschool dance flowers as well as wedding and baby shower. Thats really what the real joy of my job is. I pray for each bride , sometimes in private and sometimes I 'm close enough with them to pray with them before leading them to the aisle, :) Love my job.

Well as I look out the window the sun is starting to rise over the tree line. Seems as thought the colors are changing even in the sky. Summer has gone by so fast. My garden stands as an unkempt dinosaur lurking in the back yard. It is full of dying or dead produce hanging untouch ed by my hands to its sad end. The weeds are at least 7 ' tall as the plants are hidden under them puny and frail as they have not been nurtured and loved to provide us with a bounty of canned goods on the shelf. I have just not been home to do it. I feel guilty and sad that it has gone to waist. I have put a few things up but only a few. :( it will be sad in march to not have my spaghetti sauce. I do tho have a new job ! shut up jenny!
Be thankful! Quit complaining of being busy- at least i have hands and feet that move that can keep me busy!

Thats all that is really on my mind friends I have some laundry to do so I have work clothes to wear and then off to "work" i shall go! love to you this fine fall day. Enjoy the sunrise or maybe the sunset- maybe you'll be lucky and catch them both, Hurry go see!
