Please enjoy your mom and her piece of heaven on earth. It sounds strange to think of frost already. You visited earlier this year here in Tulsa where we have been having a heat wave. Last night we had a cold front come through with a much, much needed rain. When I checked the thermometer on the back porch today it was 60, yes 60. The forecasters were predicting a record low for today. Of course, we will be back to scorching heat soon. I grew up in WV and miss the lush green. Thank you for the beautiful pictures. Praying for those impacted by the fires. Monday night 7 emergency fire vehicles came roaring into my housing addition. We hear the news and then we or a love one is not directly impacted, our daily life charges in and we get distracted and those in need lapse from our thoughts. Thank you for bringing them back to the forefront.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825257012315494167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48022461513374243122015-08-19T20:31:25.497-04:002015-08-19T20:31:25.497-04:00 Oh I just want to come and set and enjoy it .

My Mom was the same way with her yard where I grew up on the river, although we weren't where there was the serenity living where so many trees towered over the entire property. She actually started a garden club in that town where I grew up to help others clean up their own yards and make them just as beautiful and that garden club still lives on although my Mom has been gone now for almost 30 yrs. I sure don't blame you one bit for not doing one single stitch while there. It's always great to visit with Mom and to be in such a relaxing place as well.

As soon as one smells smoke, I take my pre-packed case and head out as the area where I live is surrounded by thick bush. As it is also a summer holiday/tourist area the roads could be chock-a-block if a fire went through. <br />I hope your Mum is safe and it doesn't come any closer - praying for rain for you.Joy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370241122283127366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-65354553642085340212015-08-19T01:46:31.383-04:002015-08-19T01:46:31.383-04:00Like Mother, like Daughter -- beautifully comforta...Like Mother, like Daughter -- beautifully comfortable garden... so serene :)<br /><br />Smiles, JulieinTN<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622397925157647174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-35384078110437142282015-08-19T01:43:41.549-04:002015-08-19T01:43:41.549-04:00I was going through my email thinking of you and w...I was going through my email thinking of you and waiting to see your blog post, and I forgot where you are!!!

I pray that the fires in the your area and here are quickly put out and no one faces danger. For over a month we have had light smoke to extremely dangerous for many people. Thankfully, volunteer firefighters from several states have come to help. Like you we pray for lots of rain. I try not to hope for the breeze to blow in another direction, but after all of this time, it would be wonderful not to smell that smell and to see a beautiful blue sky. The town I live in is actually below sea level and surrounded by mountains. My husband and I live by the Applegate River out in the woods and like you I love the quiet, the birds and every nature sound. I just love your mothers landscape. One day I hope to achieve something as beautiful as hers. Thank you very much for sharing. I hope that you have a wonderful time with your Mother and that you get the rest and relaxation you need and deserve.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958077183627536062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70631738285705361302015-08-18T23:13:19.535-04:002015-08-18T23:13:19.535-04:00So glad the smoke isn't thick at mom's enc...So glad the smoke isn't thick at mom's enchanted forest!

I can't even imagine having a yard like that. I pass by the sign to Garden Valley once in awhile but I've never been up there. The fires are bad here in the Kamiah/Orofino area, further north from where you are. Many people have lost their homes but the communities and surrounding areas are amazing with how they have pulled together.

I read somewhere that they are dubbed outhouse flowers because they were often used to disguise or at least pretty up that particular structure. Your Mom's yard is beautifully restful though I doubt it was achieved with a lot of rest. I also love on an acreage in the woods. There is always a push and pull with nature but mostly it's a source of pleasure.<br />Karen<br />Parkland CountyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-68442659566652510252015-08-18T19:28:05.738-04:002015-08-18T19:28:05.738-04:00so GREEN everywhere!...its peaceful and gentle..wh...so GREEN everywhere!...its peaceful and gentle..what peace of mind to be there!!!Marietta V Gartnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02910904113005677295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-51918832771145692342015-08-18T16:48:55.455-04:002015-08-18T16:48:55.455-04:00Wow..what a Gorgeous place of Mother nature..Love ...Wow..what a Gorgeous place of Mother nature..Love it!
