Dear blogging friends. I would like to say a big thank you to all of you that have so kindly left your comments on my blog. Taken the time to read them.(often having blogging blanks and not knowing what to blog about), you have read them and commented. Its without a doubt, that I have learned much since knowing you all. Each one of you have added a new dimention to my life.
Its that time of the year, when life becomes a little hectic around "Rose Cottage." guests arriving for their little holiday getaway in the country. Attending the garden , some new plants in the pots and taking some days off for myself.. Its chilling time. Grandchildren on holidays ..fun time is arriving. Alentejo is the hottest province in Portugal. Its 38o at the moment and rising.
This blog is to wish you all some happy weeks of summer.. Great days with your family and friends.
Lazy Hazy days of summer are here.. Best wishes and love from Val at Val's Alentejo..
Dear Val, And happy weeks of Summer to you, as well. Your blog is changing and looking great. Loved these beautiful photographs.

Dear Val,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a good summer, my sweet friend. My son's birthday is around the corner, and getting ready for a wedding shower that I am giving Nel. Your summer pictures are so lovely, and it is a reminder to me that I should be outdoors enjoying this California weather. Please stay in touch, and have a blessed summer.

Dear Val, this is a lovely post - it is like in winter time when saying "merry Christmas"... I wish you a good and happy summer and hope you'll have also time for lazy days. I have heard that you have been celebrating your birthday - with all of my heart I say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to you! See you soon! Christa
ReplyDeleteI agree Val for I have learnt a lot from blogging and it has enabled me to connect with lovely ladies from around the world.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the summer (although probably a bit hard to enjoy those scorching temps). Winter here and the dog and I are chasing the sun finding warm spots to sit in to thaw out!

Hello Valerie
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visits with friends and family. Summer seems to drift by so quickly and there is always visitors and catching up. Enjoy every minute.

Hi Val: I've been busy here and there too. It's hard to keep up sometimes even though I try. I hope you have the best of summers, especially with the grandkids. I think that is so important. I will miss hearing from you but maybe we can all get back to normal (whatever that is) when things slow down a bit. Happy Summer and the best to you..Judy
