Greetings from Summer Blue’s Gardens of Fun in the Sun… and Good Morning Glory… Today I have several “shares”…Lots of growth here this year… Lots of Expanding…Lots of Building…We are very blessed. First…  Here are our Morning Glory’s blooming. A Butterfly on purple flowers Children’s Garden Day Lilies  Secondly… By now, you may have heard about Mary our new resident lamb and her very best friend, Susie Q.   Mary travels in a wheel chair cart since her back legs have been damaged.   We have a Campaign going on for anyone that would like to donate for Mary’s special needs.  Here is a link where you can read more about the campaign at Go Fund Me: https://www.gofundme.com/2e9emjg Mary and Susie Q go on adventures to see our gardens. Currently, our duck pond is being built and should be finished today…stay tuned for the finished project.   Another Dan…Dan…the Handyman’s creation for our duck habitat. We have two gardens here at our Sanctuary… our “Better Gnomes and Gardens” Hoop House and “The Children’s Garden”…     This year we planted lots of vegetables and flowers after doing lots of weeding.   Remember the song, “Planting Seeds, Pulling Weeds”?  That is what … Continue reading →

Mary is a little lamb…her fleece is white as snow…and everywhere that Mary goes her “cart” is sure to go.     Here is our beloved Mary…a little lamb with a great big heart and an even bigger problem…her back legs aren’t working correctly. Mary was born in Oklahoma…she is a lamb from the sheep tribe called “Kathadin”. Mary is special and she knows now “how special she is”.  She has “special needs” just like humans who are handicapped.  Mary cannot use her back right leg which has led to her other back leg being affected. Autumn Gold and I drove to Childress, Texas to pick Mary up and bring her to our Sanctuary. Mistie, her first mom, brought Mary to Childress from Oklahoma in order for us to bring her back to Colorado and try to remedy her situation with her back legs. Mary’s good back leg became weaker and weaker with all the weight she used to move around each day. We put her companion Kahdatin lamb, Susie Q, with her in a special pen in the back yard of our Sanctuary.  We would let them out each day to go and roam around the back yard eating on grass, weeds, … Continue reading →

The Circle of Seasons has come round again to my Season of Summer… So, where are you, My Sunshines?   I would imagine you are tending the garden that you planted in Spring as the new growth of green plants come up that will provide beautiful food for your table all summer long.   Are you under my Summer Blue skies with double rainbows of fun in the sun? Or are you enjoying the warm showers of rain that water your garden to make it grow? Remember all of my friendly Gnome Friends that come to my Summer Land?   They want to tell you “hello” “hello”…so here we go… Stopping by to say “hi” from Peter Whistle and Frog.   Peter Whistle and Frog live on Summer Blue’s front porch.  Watch for “The Adventures of Peter Whistle and Frog” a new children’s book series coming soon from Gabrielle. Peter Whistle loves to give Frog a cool, refreshing bath everyday under Summer Blue’s Summer Sun. Meet more of my Gnome Friends that come every year to the Land of Summer Blue.  Hi, I’m Crunch the Gnome and I stand watch at the “Better Gnomes and Gardens” Hoop House door across from, my friend, … Continue reading →

Many moons ago, a story was written here on the G.A.B. about Chief Thumper, Princess Water Lily and The Dream Catcher. You also read recently that Princess Water Lily left Chief Thumper, The Hoop House and The Dream Catcher when she departed her life here and went into The Spirit World, a world the Native Americans called the “after life”. In that story entitled “The Adventure of Princess Water Lily, Chief Thumper and the Dream Catcher” there was an important question… That question was “who would spin the Dream Catcher first” in order to go into an adventure? The question was never answered until now. Chief Thumper was very sad and very very lonely because he loved Princess Water Lily very much. I want to share their story of what happened next…right here…right now…soon to be an adventure series e-book so their “love story” and “adventures” can be recorded for all time. Here is their story: Chief Thumper was alone now in his bunny hutch in The Hoop House by a waterfall where The Dream Catcher hangs. Every night when he would go to sleep, his heart was very sad at the loss of Princess Water Lily. One night as … Continue reading →

A Special Personal Note from Gabrielle… We are about to leave the Season of Winter as we move on The Clock of Seasons™ into Spring. I have always felt that the Four Seasons represent our lives in so many ways. Here is why… Spring is the season of birth, renewal, regeneration and much more having to do with “awakening to life” all around us. A time in the garden to plant new seeds… A time for baby birds, chickens, ducks and animals of all sorts to be born… It is a time when grass begins to grow, buds appear on plants and trees, and leaves begin to slowly unfold. The earth blossoms fresh and new with spring rain and more sunlight. Life springs forth in resurrection from the winter rest of death. “Do You Hear the Song” of Sweet Spring? Spring is the Season of the Sunrise of Life. Summer is the season of nurturing, observing, and the enjoying of life that has come from ascending out of spring time. The Summer Sun is now climbing into the sky to reach mid-day. Summer time continues on… growing up gardens, animals, and surroundings into triumphant maturity. All is bathed in warm sunshine, raindrops, and long hazy, … Continue reading →
