Surprise!

My office phone rang a few minutes ago. I didn't recognize the beautiful English voice on the other end, but quickly learned it was Dawn of My Thoughts by Dawn! She was calling from her home in Kent!
What a grand surprise! We had a wonderful conversation, and as so many others have said, after following blogs and such, one instantly feels like old friends!

Thanks, Dawn, for brightening up my day! It was a beautiful surprise!

Rick is off on a bike ride tomorrow...
That means I have uninterrupted time to dig into my art space re-do, work on the Birds and Bonnets swap hosted by Beth and Karla ...

And stop by my favorite farm market for some flowers and groceries. I leave you with a few images from an earlier trip!

    I love the photos of the market. It reminds me that the Kalamazoo Farmer's Market is open tomorrow. I think I'll take my camera.

    I love farmer's markets but sadly we don't have one in our town. Your photos are so pretty and I miss seeing all that fresh produce. It just isn't the same in a grocery store!

    What a wonderful surprise to have a phone call from a blogger friend in England. Bloggers are the BEST!!!

    Such a lovely tribute to the special mothers and grandmothers in your life. I have similar good memories of my grandmother and great grandmother, whom I got to spend time with every day when I was growing up. Such a gift!
