I have to log into Google every time I use another browser. I hope you can find a way to fix up both your home and your inner life. It's been especially hard since the Pandemic, doubly so for anyone with additional burdens. Just remember that everything begins with a thought, for good or bad. I've been listening to a lot of positive podcasters to help lift me out of my doldrums. It's really helped!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-30948596639068031512023-11-22T17:34:50.772-05:002023-11-22T17:34:50.772-05:00sorry Cathy, it's Debbie from CountryWays . . ...sorry Cathy, it's Debbie from CountryWays . . . no idea why intermittently I become anonymous.

I've always loved woodland gardens. My friend, Beth introduced me to the one she cultivated. When she was getting ready to move to North Carolina, she invited me to take cuttings and starts. I enjoyed planting them in what was then becoming a very shady area.<br />I long thought about creating a little fairy garden and enjoyed a few spring efforts over the years. <br />This was so delightful. Wandering with you to all the little special nooks was such a treat. thank you!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16596870571335896456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-70060244803271829962023-05-31T09:13:54.654-04:002023-05-31T09:13:54.654-04:00I'm so glad you stopped by!

I found this article about the difference: https://dengarden.com/gardening/The-Difference-Between-Spanish-and-English-Bluebells Mine are definitely not wild English Bluebells. I'm wondering if mine are a cross between Spanish and English that the article speaks about. <br /><br />I don't know that I've started blogging again. I've gotten off track ever since I tried to illustrate Gabriel's Tale and gave up on it because I was unable to do it the way I'd visualized it in my mind. That seemed to shut down my whole creative self. And once COVID hit and we no longer traveled there was nothing for me to blog about. It didn't help that Blogger has shut down our ability to notify subscribers or sign-up new subscribers. And the ones I had seemed to fade away because I hardly got any comments. I have stopped reading and commenting on blogs so I have no right to complain! So I really appreciate that you took the time to comment. I've really missed the conversations I used to have with my commenters like you. ❤️Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-58800648554747162442023-05-15T04:25:38.206-04:002023-05-15T04:25:38.206-04:00Lovely to see you back blogging again.

I'm not sure you've got English bluebells there, they look like Spanish ones to me. The shape is too open. English bluebells are elongated with a pronounced curly tip. And the colour to the trained eye is quite different too. Despite that, bluebells are always so very pretty. They make a lovely addition to the spring garden.
