So glad you took photos before, during, & after, wow - what a job that was and oh so pleasing to the eye to see the finished job.<br />Love your new abstract rug & looking forward to seeing you colour it with wool worms & wool that you've dyed! You are one creative inspiring woman Julia. My husband has always said that in order to get ahead in life, your either lucky or you work hard for a living - you are both! <br />Excellent Karma! I always enjoy my visit with you.<br />Don't over extend yourself & it's good to 'get by with a little help from our friends' & you indeed have a good friend with Ardith. <br />Hugs,<br />CynthiaKyrotimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328503785870363796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-4384761723985071772015-08-24T23:43:59.941-03:002015-08-24T23:43:59.941-03:00Holy smokes Julia, trimming a hedge.....on a ladde...Holy smokes Julia, trimming a hedge.....on a ladder....seriously what won't you do! We had a tree that was obstructing our neighbors view of the Mountain - with one swift call, that tree was removed and gone before I could say, "remove the tree' haha not to mention the hot sweltering weather we were having. They came in and chopped, sawed, cut, clipped and wah la it was gone. I admire you Julia in so many ways!<br />Your flowers look so lovely, you even have a lovely flower bed growing on your stand with all those beautiful cards. Looking forward to seeing how your rug is going to turn out!!Saimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09205857549533433625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-45664956487665521832015-08-20T20:03:25.606-03:002015-08-20T20:03:25.606-03:00YOU are amazing!

When I saw the first pictures it looked like a task that might not ever end. WOW! Good for you and your lovely neighbor for sticking with it. Hopefully next time it won't be as much work because it won't be as tall and wide. :) <br /><br />Congrats on your wins!

Most days I just don't feel well enough to be on the computer. <br />As always I am in awe of you and what you accomplish when you set your mind to it. That hedge was huge and and I can not image you trimming it like you did. Amazing wonder woman you are!<br />It really looks nice but please be careful. Those are tall ladders.<br />Our summer is going by fast but it has been terribly hot here. The temps have been in the hundreds most days. <br />I am trying to keep my few flowers alive but I have nothing like the beautiful ones you have.<br />I think of you often and hate I have lost touch. <br />So glad I came by tonight.<br />Love you<br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-25303899313243856242015-08-15T10:24:17.174-03:002015-08-15T10:24:17.174-03:00Julia...I don't know how you do all the things...Julia...I don't know how you do all the things that you do!
