Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybele)
Today is my 5th Blogiversary! The time seems to have flown since I nervously first hit the ‘Publish’ button all those years ago. I’ve learned a lot, made a fair number of new blogging friends and enjoyed the community blogging brings. Thanks to all who follow, like and comment, you are very much appreciated!

Thanks for sticking with it! I so enjoy your photos, your garden, and your flower arrangements.
How kind of you to say, thank you, Lisa!
Congratulations! I always enjoy seeing the world through your eyes and following along on your adventures 🙂
Thank you very much, Frank!
It’s very cool that you’re writing on the same blog. Congratulations! I love your blog. I love the positive message, beauty, and inspiration 🙂
Thank you very much, Maria. Those five years have flown by!
Goodness! Time goes by fast. I have not been doing this long, but will have been doing it for a year in less than a month on September 1. I can see why you continue to do it.
You’ll have to post an update! 🙂
I do? I suppose I will I have not given it any though. It has not been five years, just one.
A year is worth celebrating!
Congrats! Here’s to many more years of superb photos!
Thank you kindly, Fi!
Congratulations on the great achievement! Keep going like this! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you very much!
Happy 5th birthday! For many more to come 🙂
Many thanks!
Congratulations, keep going.😀
🙂 Thanks, Brian!
Oh many congratulations Eliza! May your blog continue to flourish and bloom.
Thank you very much!
Congrats on five years! You have provided me with a lot of joy, friendship, and great gardening advice over those years. Here’s to many, many more years of the same!
Thank you, Sarah. As well, I appreciate the laughs and comradeship you and yours provide. If I laugh out loud while on the computer, my spouse always asks, ‘What is Choppy up to now?’ 😀
Congratulations!!! Wow, I realized that I’ve been reading your blog for over a year now…how time flies! I really enjoy your posts and all the beautiful pictures.
By the way, the poppy seeds arrived in the mail today…thank so very much! Mine aren’t ready yet, but I’ll send some as soon as they are. 🙂
Thank you, Joanna. It’s hard to believe it has been 5 years. 🙂
The seeds arrived quickly, maybe 2 days? I think I put them in the mail on Wed. One never knows with USPS~ 😉
Yes, it usually only takes 2 days from MA. It’s funny because it usually takes just as long for local mail because they send it all the way downstate first!
The routing is strange…it once took 4 days for my sister to get something and she only lives about an hour away!
Congratulations to you. I wish you many more years of blogging.
Many thanks, Marva!
Congratulations Eliza! Here’s to many more years of your wonderful posts!
