and now I have over 300 posts
I have been writing on things that are near and dear to me...
family, home, garden, clothes, cats, cooking and collectibles.
I shared some serious thoughts and others that bordered on sheer folly.
I captured many images of daily life here in and around The Humble Bungalow
I do have a confession...
I have told nary a soul about my blog
my family knows and a few girlfriends but that's it...
I am trying to figure out why I am so shy about this "hobby"
I am not sure if I will be mocked
or
what I expect the reaction to be...
should I come out of the closet?
I am a gal of few words
(of this you might be surprised!)
a regular group of us get together for tea/coffee at a local spot
and when we do
I listen more than talk
my fashion sense doesn't match that of my peer group
what is up with that and why?
I am far more interested in name brand luxe
and have an insatiable appetite for pearls and diamonds
I am still trying to figure this out...
I can get "lost" in my garden
time seems to be suspended
I am fascinated by flowers
and
am shocked and amazed by their detail
whimsical things have a place in my garden
vintage pink flamingoes
bowling balls
roses are my passion
and it was my mission
to grow as many roses as I could
so that my vases would be full of fabulous bouquets
and this continues today
my love of wicker
and
black
marry here and will be forever
packaging and presentation
woo me every time
Orange is not reserved for Halloween alone :)
I love ocean travel
on our boat
a summer tradition for almost 30 years
a vintage vessel
2 years younger than myself
and still cruising along :)
sounds hopeful !
I love to cook
and try new recipes...
Roast Beef Sundays
a great way to entertain family
and friends
food from the garden
fun and flavour
and
I feel a sense of comfort eating what I have grown
I wish that I could show you my brag book...but I cannot.
Out of respect for my family's privacy I have not posted images of lovely grandbaby Isla.
I would love to show you what a sweetheart she is...
you'll just have to take my word for it!
This pram
has sprung suspension
which affords a smooth ride
and is curb friendly...
I have learned a lot....
about cyberspace and digital photography,
made connections many whom I consider to be friends
and have opened my eyes on a global level...
I am feeling thankful and grateful...

Stickley, our Bungalow cat died of old age this summer
It was a sad and dark time for me...
and comments of support and understanding helped me through this patch of gloom
there are a lot of cat owners who blog :)

recently we adopted a rescue kitten
Pepper
she has been a breath of fresh air
and enthusiastic comments have encouraged me to post more images of her at rest and at play.
Time flies when you are having fun...
my archival posts remind me what I was doing this past year...
a visual diary.
a visual diary.
I need to figure out what I am going to be doing this upcoming year...
stay tuned and life in the Bungalow will evolve as nature intended...
I appreciate your comments and critiques...keep them coming.
I have a mug of tea at hand...
won't you join me?
Make time to indulge in something that makes your heart beat a little faster
and savour...
celebrate the simple
and elevate the everyday to special
Please come back
there's a place for you here in the Humble Bungalow.
