Summertime..and the days are lovely.


This is my last post.Thank you so much to all the lovely people I have corresponded with these more than twenty years.

I am 71,I have no room in my tender heart for being bullied in my own space.

With Blogger you cannot block a commenter you can only moderate.Problem is ..I still see the incessant bullying of one person.

I delete delete delete and you don't see the comments but  I do.

Ive tried o share tips,recipes, good sites,things I love.

You make it an honor to continue and not give up.

The world is changing.

My husband always said you have the nicest readers.

I did.

The personal notes,not published here have been heartwarming.

So again thank you.

My subscriber account is not working which adds to the disillusionment of blogging.

But the true reason..  just read the last comment from anonymous that I have published.This was he second comment on just this post.

Encore une fois..Merci pour toutes ces belles années.

 Things are popping up every day.. it makes me realize just how quickly time is flying by..




My neighbour gifted me with these gorgeous currants.. I think I need to plant a bush.My wise mind though thinks.. will I even see it bear so much fruit..




Sometimes at dusk I go back out to observe a different stillness and light...



We love this recipe for Air Fryer Bang Bang chicken.. from  Moribyan 



Small scones for my neighbours..and us:)


We had some rain last night (a LOT) and the lilies have almost all opened up..the varietals.. I mean still a few to come..and yet more rain drenched our soil this aft.





Look who has shown up to my garden party..
The dahlias have started.I love them so very much.




 Have a wonderful week..






Amen:)

These days..

 



















Scenes from the gardens last little while..And an indoor project AKA seed saving.
I got rid of my envelopes..I did keep some larger ones for seeds that I have in abundance(marigolds..dill)..

Les journées se suivent mais ne se ressemblent pas.
 Du soleil..de la pluie..  Sun..rain..
Gardens seem happy.
I have always felt very lucky to have been brought up in a bilingual home and to have studied both in French and English.

A gift.That I had nothing to do with.Luck..



From nana's house to yours..
Have a very good week.
 
Did you know that researchers have  described cyber bullies..

As..

Having aggressive role models
Lacking empathy
Lacking guilt
Narcissistic

As 

Machiavellianism
And having  sublinical Psychopathy.

I am so glad I did not have Social Media as a young girl.
The horror stories that come out about people being bullied on SM are..Frightening.
And it is not only about bullying youths..Adults get bullied also.
When I see it happen on SM and I have a voice...I defend the victims.

Unfortunately with Blogger..one can only delete bullying comments.
 There should be a way to block.
There should be a way to bring the bully to light.
I think it would give me pleasure to show the face behind the ugly words.
But you know what?
Someone sees you.
He is always watching He is.
