Make a Wish From a Simple Life


and 

a bouquet of fragrant moments bloom.

Dear readers and friends,

I am back temporarily

to 

announce that I am gathering

all the moments

we've spent together

at 

Castles Crowns and Cottages

into 

a self-published hardback memoir

of

blogging with you.
  
With original photos 

from my studio

and life as far

as I can reach it

I hope to offer 

the best blog posts

from 

Castles Crowns and Cottages

revised and edited. 

Copies will be available 

on demand

sometime at the twilight 

of this year.

The only things missing

will be the music 

and 

the comments we've shared

but when you page through the years

gather 

the fragrance of your life 

and

pinterest

Good Morning Anita! I hope you found yourself something special at the Nordstrom sale ;) With free shipping, I find myself doing more and more on line shopping. Our weather is a bit overcast and drizzly ..not the best for grilling. Hopefully you are enjoying perfect weather and are able to get outside to play:) xxleslie

Anita, I just picked some hydrangeas at my brother's house yesterday, and I remembered you had this picture of hydrangeas on your post and had to come over and tell you. He has a whole bunch of them on the side of his house. They are very similar to the ones in your picture. My brother's flowers range from blues to purples to pinks, and just gorgeous. I picked a bunch of them and headed on over to the cemetery to give them to my mom and dad for Memorial Day.

Thinking of you today and hoping you are having a nice weekend. I sure do love those pictures on instagram. I'll have to check to see if you have any new ones on there.

love you, Anita, and I can't tell you how much your friendship means to me.

Dear Anita!
Your blog is like a dream, a beautiful, romantic dream, and so will be your book, I'm sure.
Wish you joy and success.

Anita, what a wonderful day, Life is beautiful. I have a new Dog, he is adorable part Boston Terrier/ Shih tzu
blonde and tan. 6 years old and he is smart and loving. Considering he just lost everything he knew. His Mamma was
91 and went into Hosp. and never came out. He was all alone for 4 days. The first night was hard, but we have bonded.
I am driving over to Renee's she has ordered the new Kit windows and they finished the wrap a round deck. All's great
and Benji loves the car. Hugs yvonne

Anita!
You are always in my thoughts and prayers! I had tried to email you a couple times.
. . . and after a couple tries today, I was able to leave you a comment! It looks like others are able to do it! I am glad that I was persistent.

I took the month of April off from blogging. I considered ending my blog, and only posting on Instagram. I couldn't do it.

I imagine you are quite consumed with the end of the year activities, finals and grading at school. I hope you are well, and hope you have time to focus on your book for the next couple months.
I wish you and Rueben a blessed and gifted Summer!
