We ate and talked and laughed and talked some more until the moon came out and the scent of petunias filled the night air and the garden became a magical world... As we enjoyed the beauty of the night, we watched the fireflies turn on their lights… one of nature's best shows features for sure: the signals that fireflies exchange as they search for mates on warm summer nights. I can just but marvel and wonder how these little bugs turn their belly lanterns on and off so quickly...
The morning brough a new beginning... it was cleaning day today… It is always a wonderful feeling when your house is clean, don't you think? And, of course, as I clean, I enjoy my things as I go along...
I'm ready to go to bed now... I'm so tired. Remember when you were a little girl, or a little boy and you knelt beside your bed at night: "Dear Lord, hear my evening prayer. Thank you for your loving care. Bless all those I love tonight. Keep us safe till morning light, and make tomorrow a wonderful day".
Good night every one!

Your porch looks wonderful that is my dreamy one, that I will get next year :)
planning is the key to get something, right?
Beautiful as ever... and I love tarnished silver too! Love your apples in such a gorgeous bowl... lovely colours together.
I stopped by and sit for a couple enjoyable minues on your porch and enjoyed your tarnished silver as I too love it... Your blog is always a retreat to come and enjoy. Have a wonderful weekend.
Glimpses of your home, are magical, as always. The dear tarnished silver... The roses on old tea cups... The Faerie lights...
But oh, how I'd love to know how you keep mosquitoes at bay, in order to enjoy your yard/garden. I can't step out the door, in summer, without being attacked by mosquitoes. Unless I spray myself with mosquito repellent. And that kind of ruins the spell... -le sigh-
Do you have some magic potion, to keep mosquitoes at bay, without use of an awful repellent spray... but not hinder the Fireflies?
Gentle hugs on this Saturday...

What a great post and I do remember those prayers at night. I also love the way my house smells and feels after I dust and clean it and shine it all up to sparkle. My only problem is that some days I procrastinate and end up cleaning it late at night in the dark:)

Hola Cielito
Preciosas fotos como siempre.
Allá está terminando el verano y hoy acá parece primavera.
Cómo estás?
Te dejo muchos besitos y te deseo un hermoso fin de semana

Unfortunatly I prayed the "now I lay me down to sleep if I should die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take"---Not quite as comforting as your prayer ;-)
Dont you have any trouble with mosqitoes when you eat outside?
And lastly--I have nicky-nacky things (I know I shouldn't call them that!! ) , but I do hate dusting--I suppose I should try to cultivate your attitude of handling things I love....HA!
Maravillosas las fotos!
El banner nuevo es magico.
Te dejo un beso enorme.
Hi Cielo! Your photos are beautiful! I clean all of my ceiling fans yesterday and vaccuum above the doorways. Where does all this lint come from? :D
Thank you for sharing your pics with us.
Blessings,
Sandra
Hi, Cielo -
Your garden party looks like it was wonderful. I love your patio lights and you've inspired me to add some by next year. Right now they are on sale - maybe I'd better hurry and get some to enjoy through the fall months! I've been stopping by and see what you're doing but haven't slowed down long enough say hi most of the time. Need to remedy that, don't I?

What a most beautiful evening picture of your porch. I hope you have a wonderful new week.
You always create a bit of paradise, with your lovely gift of display, and this enchanting music. I love your lights above your porch too. Such a beautiful post Cielo.
