Mosaic Monday/Outdoor Wednesday. . .'Aim for the Stars'

When I was a little girl,
Grandma Stella taught us to make 'hollyhock dolls' with flowers from
her garden!

"Aim for the stars, and maybe you'll reach the sky!

      I like this quote, but not really sure who
the author is.
Enjoy the rest of your summer . . . 
and please join us for
OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY

    Just popped in to say "thanks" for the recommendation of Root & Bloom. You are the second person to suggest it & I had not heard of it before. I have it on my shopping list.

    For some strange reason, I cannot see your photo on this post. ??? I noticed that LOTS of places in blog land have lost photos this week. Several of my favorite people no longer have their headers in place. I had to upload a few of my sidebar photos, too. Some glitch, I'm sure.
    Anyway, thanks for stopping by The Gazebo House. I'll come back later to try to see your flowers.

    A perfect quote for the mosaci. The hollyhocks are so tall. Enjoy your week.
