Winner Announced...and photos of the Garden!

Thanks to all who entered the contest!  We put all the names in a basket, some more than once, depending on how many platforms you follow and we are pleased to announce that Teddee Grace is the winner of Veranda Entertaining!  

Teddee, please send me your address so I can get it out to you right away!

Don't despair if you didn't win because I have lots of book giveaways planned this Fall!  

Speaking of Fall, I am not ready for it.  Some of my friends are looking forward to chilly nights, colorful, crunchy leaves and Pumpkin Spice Latte.  I may have to avoid them for the next 30 days.  lol  I still have so much work to do in the gardens...and I love every second of it!  

In the meantime, please enjoy these photos of the fruits of my labor.

Delores In the Sunroom

I wanted to move the candlestick on the table a bit more to the left but Delores had other plans.  

Delores was a rescue kitty. The shelter planned to euthanize her because it was claimed she had bitten her owner's child.  

She was extremely frightened in the shelter and bit her handler.

I begged. 

They relented. 

She has never bitten any of us.  

She has a playful nip that many young cats do but she never bites. 

We are so blessed and grateful be a part of her world.

Most everything in this room is from Craigslist, except Delores.  She came from Heaven.  lol
