Thanks to all for participating. Some really sweet pictures this week.

Thanks for all the participation. Please keep those photos coming. The new theme is "Old Fashioned."

Can prolly chalk that up to daily rains. SE Ohio is beginning to have a pretty reliable Monsoon season. I just got in from the veggie garden. The weeds are so high, they no longer can be hoed, but must be pulled. The pile I left in an isle last week looks just exactly as they did when I pulled them. Green, and they had rooted again on the surface of the soil. It's like living in a giant germination chamber. MWheel, the decumaria is a false hydrangea vine. The pretty purple flowers are a rose of sharon. That's the only pic from last year......this year all the tangerine flowers are purple and lavender ones.

I have come up with a list of new subjects trying to combine some like/similar suggestions. If I am off-base with your suggestion, please, please let me know. 6. Old fashioned... I was thinking pictures of GPers from years back...paper dress, hair-dos, etc. To add to this, the suggestion of the oldest thing in your home or garden...heirloom, antique find, tree with approximate age, etc. 7. Water Features...bird baths, fountains, ponds, ocean, pictures of just water. 8. Rainbows/Clouds. 9. Garden Critters/Wildlife...bugs, butterflies, lizards, deer, rabbits... Sunrise/Sunset. Old houses/old buildings/interesting architectural elements. Favorites: room, chair, book, cup, plant...your favorite that brings that special 'fuzzy' to your life. Houseplants: include any houseplant...african violets, orchids, tropicals... (And, without calling any names, bless your heart, plastic will be accepted. LOL) Your Town Rocks...pictures of activities in your town, special places in your town, special gardens of your town, etc. Handcrafted...Anything you have personally handcrafted...this can include anything...art, sewing, canning, flower beds, flower arrangements... Collections...corks (LOL), figurines, purses, shoes, plants...anything you enjoy collecting. Family Traditions...Thanksgiving dinner, ballgames, Easter egg hunt, playing Monopoly...anything that is a tradition with your family. 18....Not finished with the list yet...still thinking on how to combine some of the great suggestions.
