Feed Your Soul: Fuller Gardens Part II

 

The Conservatory

Just a quick reminder......the day my mother and I went to Fuller Gardens, it was wicked, wicked hot and humid. It was Wicked Witch , 'I'm melting' kind of weather. That said, there isn't anything we wouldn't do for you followers (OK, do not call me out on that, it's a bold face lie.....like I am NOT bungee jumping for you guys or eating bugs on a dare...not doing it), so despite the oppressive heat, we made our way from the rose garden into the conservatory.

Yes, it was even hotter in there, but it was worth it. It was a whole other world.

Check out that fern! Yup. It's a fern. A staghorn fern and it was massive and totally funky.

Just like the rose garden, there was so much pretty going on it was hard to know which way to look. Lush and green with occasional pops of color.

My mother Marge is putting on a good front, don't you think? You'd never know it was 96 degrees with high humidity, and triple digits in the conservatory.

Did you catch Cousin It? And the tomato horn worm look alike? Crazy Cacti.

Did you get a chance to feed your soul this weekend?

Our was filled with getting ready for the big 4th of July Lobster Bake and attending our neighbor/friend Joan's retirement party. Woot woot woot....three cheers for retirement! Such a fun time. We even had a bit of a sing song out under the tent. Good thing all the neighbors were invited.

We just had an absolutely drenching downpour roll through. Could be more because we are still in the midst of high humidity. It's supposed to break just in time for the 4th.

If you didn't hear the news that google reader/gfc is gone, kaput, stick a fork in it - it's done....that's the scoop. If you're looking for a new way to read Mercantile Muse, you can go the really easy route and subscribe via email in the righthand side bar. You can also add Mercantile Muse to another reader like Bloglovin'.  See my post here for more info.

Have a super Monday. Make it a great start to your week.

Ciao for now,

Three Day Countdown: Google Readers, Don't Lose The Muse

I Like You. I Really, Really Like You

There. I said it. I'm not beating around the bush anymore. I like you guys. I really, really like my readers. You make my day. No lie.

What I don't like, is that Google Reader is going away and there is a chance I could lose some of you because you don't choose a new blog reader before Google Reader shuts down. I-yeeks! That would be such a bummer.

What to do? What to do?

Wait...I have an idea. Move the blogs you love, like (hopefully) Mercantile Muse, to bloglovin'. The sooner, the better. Because, come Monday you will not be able to use Google Reader anymore.

Here's why I think bloglovin' is an easy choice to make.

Once you're signed up on bloglovin', all you have to do is go here, to import the blogs you've been following via Google Reader.

What are you waiting for? Go on. Go get signed up on bloglovin' before it's too late!

When you are signed up for bloglovin', it's this easy to follow Mercantile Muse.

THIS EASY: Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I hope I don't lose you to the black hole that Google Reader may create when some haven't changed readers in time.

Really I don't.

Freeform Friday

It's been a bit of a sad week. My good friend lost her brother in a tragic accident. I'm thinking of her and her family now as they say goodbye.

Rest in peace Dave.
