This morning WordPress informed me that today is the first anniversary of my blog. It is difficult for me to believe it has been a year already. Where does the time seem to go?
This is actually the fifth blog I have had on WordPress. The first one was in 2013 after where I had a blog closed. I have been fortunate enough to have found some bloggers here on WordPress that followed my blogs on other sites where we blogged. I hope to eventually find more that I know blog here.
Several months ago I purchased a plant stand. When it arrived it looked like it would be complicated to assemble so I put it away. I had not thought about it much until yesterday.
My sister told me that I could do it and encouraged me to get it out and put it together. To my surprise it turned out to not be complicated at all and now it is assembled with a plant on it.

A big thank you to my sister for having confidence in me.
Yesterday was beautiful and I was outside a few times. I enjoyed walking around the yard and getting a bit of cleaning up done as I walked.
This is the latest puzzle that I put together.

Birds, butterflies, flowers and trees some of my favorite things.
I ordered four more puzzles and they arrived yesterday. I purchased some larger ones so it will take me a bit longer to get them put together.
I am hoping all of you are having a great day. Thank you for stopping by.
Love, hugs and blessings to all.

I used to love gardening but now at my age being out in the heat doesn’t agree with me at all so Had to give all my precious flower pots and flowers to my sister who now has them spread all over her extensive property and send me photos to tease me now. :) Now it’s plastic flowers inside the home and those are not as satisfying.

Heat is not a friend of mine for sure. With me not being able to care for outside plants as they need to be. I now only have one plant to water and shrubs that pretty much take care of themselves I never water them and they do great. I have four plants inside.

Congratulations on your blog anniversary, Mags. I love how this post celebrates quiet victories—the courage to try, the encouragement of a sister, and the joy found in simple routines.
Your writing gently reminds me that confidence often grows from small moments, not grand achievements. Thank you for sharing such a peaceful and grounding slice of everyday life.

Yes, me too, but I mostly do jigsaws online because it’s hard on my (old whiplash-injured) neck to bend over the puzzle and hold my head up for long periods of time. But I still love doing them for real or online.

I am sorry about you neck and back. It is good that you can work the puzzles online. They stopped printing and delivering our newspaper and went digital with it I work crossword puzzles online. I actually like working them online because it is easier with my hands and eye issues.
