Drifting away from myLot

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 15h

You know how much I love it here, and how happy that I returned. Many thanks to my friends who’ve supported me. You know how busy I can get. I’m finding my life sucking up my time. Yesterday, for example, my older sister-in-law...

Mine ~ All Mine

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 17 Mar

If this photo doesn’t load, then forget this discussion. Every single flower and shrub, annual and perennial, except one shrub in the lower right was started by my own seeds or divided by me from other plants in my flower garden....

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 16 Mar

It happened in a restaurant in Miami. My nephew just finished a luncheon meeting. Victoria was waiting for a friend who never showed up. My nephew, Dylan, turned around and their eyes met and held for a solid minute, and then...

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 13 Mar

We had a wonderful dinner at an Italian restaurant yesterday. The owner remembered us and suggested appetizers, veal Parmesan, wines, and stopped by our table between courses to chat with us. His veal Parmesan was different from...

The Curtain Lady Told Me To Call

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 12 Mar

My photo shows an early June portion of my ongoing new garden with some of the metal sculptures that I believe Judy Evans asked to see. I didn’t have time to post yesterday, but did all of my notifications and completed them...

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 10 Mar

FYI, if my photo loads you can see our condo, the intercostal behind us, the buildings along A1A on a tiny strip of land, and the Atlantic Ocean. We are in the back right corner. I only have one set of silverware here. It’s a...

Ever see a wet osprey?

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 6 Mar

My photo wouldn’t load earlier, so I’m giving it another try. This is Orville, my pet sea hawk in Florida. He took a dive for a fish in low tide and came up soaked and disheveled. Trish, a sister in law who lives in my...

Not as smart as she looks

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 4 Mar

My younger son sent me this photo or our newest grandkitty, little Pitchou, last summer. She tries to mimic everything her big sister tries to teach her, but fails almost every time. Eevie loves to sit on one of the pillows on...

Are you careful where you step?

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 4 Mar

If the photo grosses you out, don’t look. I am getting ready for my morning walk before it gets too hot. No matter where I walk, I always keep my eyes opened wide for snakes, bikers, cars, and dog poo that someone neglected to...

Gold anyone?

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 3 Mar

The price of gold is way up and fluctuates daily. Today was a bit lower than a couple of days ago, but it’s something I follow. I had a little pouch with a few pieces of old gold jewelry that I haven’t worn in years and some...

A bridge just because….

DianneN @DianneN (251546) • United States 26 Feb

I’ve always wanted a bridge in my garden, but don’t have any water. So, I figured that streams dry up, at least the ones near me, so I decided to make a dry creek bed. If the photo loads, you can see the little bridge I...
