The tree that you first focus on as you move across the grove, could make the most amazing watercolour. I hope that those that you love and care about are improving with their health issues. Life is so fleeting and can become fragile so quickly.

In here, it is summer in "full bloom" :), too warm, so very warm... So, it is great to look at your beautiful, superb red flowers and to imagine that I can see the blue skies or that I can feel the cool breezes... while sitting at that table near the fragrant roses like in in the picture above... <br />Best regards to you, a lovely summer and lots of joy for soul and mind! hugs, AlexaAlexa Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703682243445912749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397842596692895726.post-50652474886106861972017-06-27T11:46:01.522+03:002017-06-27T11:46:01.522+03:00Hi Poppy I LOVED seeing your gorgeous springtime f...Hi Poppy I LOVED seeing your gorgeous springtime flowers, and especially the little video which took me right there. What a beautiful place to walk in the sun and enjoy the peace and the sound of the birds signing. How sweet of the villages to invite you in for a sit-awhile in their beautiful garden. Take care dear Poppy. Hugs from me in Australia.

I would love to walk with you, right up the mountainside to see the lovelies that you found! How sweet that the dear ladies take you in for a cool drink, but like you, I think I might be about in the siesta too, privacy is nice as well. Enjoy your morning and siesta walks, continue to show us the lovely and amazing flowers you get to see, feel, and smell! Hugs!

I expect to see Helen Bonham Carter strolling through in a white batiste dress, touching the blooms with her fingertips, looking lost in a dream world. <br /><br />That alone enchanted me but your photographs of colorful doors and windows went in my Pinterest board. Now I must figure out somewhere to put your church bells because I so associate your Greek Orthodox churches with you, Poppy. Your faith is so much a part of your character. <br /><br />I often hear about people here in the states getting upset with passersby photographing their house, but in Crete they smile at you and offer you refreshments!<br /><br />A colorful summer to you, dear Poppy,<br />DewenaDewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397842596692895726.post-33358473493517856862017-06-23T19:30:31.192+03:002017-06-23T19:30:31.192+03:00You live in such a beautiful area, Poppy.
