  2. Deena, Will get the movie on yours and Church's recommendations. The hollyhocks are lovely. Mine seem to be all single blossoms. Did you ever make little dolls using the flowers as dresses? Sharon Lovejoy tells how to do it in one of her beautiful books-can't think of the title just now.
    Love, Debra

  6. Oh my gosh, Deena--my husband and I were just recommending this movie to someone yesterday! We LOVE this film and have seen it several times. We just watched "In America" last night--have you seen that one? It's about an Irish family who moves to New York--the little girls in the film are absolutely precious . . . hope you're having a great weekend! Hugs, Jann

  8. Thanks for the tip. We'll look that movie up for sure.
    I love hollyhocks. Used to have some outside my window after we came to the US after evacuating from China.
    Hope you had a wonderful 4th!
    Hugs.

    Have your headaches gone away ? I heard something about the new energy saving lightbulbs causing horrible migraines with some people...

  10. Have never seen that movie. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Used to love making little girls out of hollyhocks. Yours are double or triple, they're so beautiful.

  15. Dear sweet Deena, What beautiful Hollyhocks!
    You continue to be in thoughts and prayers this morning.
    You are such a source of comfort to so many of us and I hope we are to you too.
    Great "Joy" list today.. God's faithfulness is a very good one.
    I LOVE the strong faith and wonderful attitude you always have. Thanks for sharing it with us.
    You truly are such a blessing to me.
    I love you! ~Mary~

  16. That is so Funny!
    My good friend Diane, JUST GAVE me that DVD before left for her vacation to visit her family in Minnesota ...she told me that I would "love it and that it was a classic IRISH tale".....
    Great minds think alike!

    I tried to grow Holly Hocks here....but to no avail. I even had pre-started ones....the root/bulbs....and they looked like they would take but didn't. Blah!
    Thanks for the photos though.
    I love them.
    Hang in there...

  17. Hi Deena,
    I have seen that movie several times and just love it! Your hollyhocks are beautiful! My friend just told me, to my surprise, that they will grow here in Arizona! She gave me some seeds the other day and I planted them over the weekend. Can’t wait until they sprout!

    Deena, your faith, courage & strength have touched my heart so much. Even though I don’t really know you well, I want you to know that I love you and that you have a friend in me. You are in my thoughts & prayers daily.

    Love,
    Carol Anne

  19. Oh Deena, How I love hollyhocks. Those are just stunning. So many of my little seedlings are just sitting there this year barely growing. I am going to give them some Miracle Grow today.

    Have a great day.

  20. I can't even imagine what you're going through, my little cherub, but I do pray for a large list of people daily. You're now one of them. I found you from 4 sisters in a cottage blog. I wish you well, my sweets, and faith in Him can definitely help. I'm truly blessed each and every day by Him.
    Smoochies,

  24. Deena, I'm not sure I've seen that movie. I'll have to check it out and see. I think maybe the children watched it long ago. I was probably busy cleaning or cooking.

    The hollyhocks are beautiful! Mine did not come out this year. Waaaa. Maybe next year. :)

  25. My dad's nickname for me is "Pooh" because of my love for Winnie-the-Pooh when I was little. It's a sweet thing except when he hollars it across a store =) Blessings... Polly

  26. Deena,

    I love hollyhocks but for some reason they don't like me. Each time I try to go them, they never come up again. I haven't figured out why but one day I will.

    Brandon and Jordan came over on the weekend and I put them to work on the renovations. They learned something new and they seemed to enjoy it. Great lesson for them.

    My joys:

    Seeing the blue jays come to our yard for peanuts in the shell.

    Working with hubby and the boys on the apartment.

    Spending a couple hours away from home with hubby.

    Beautiful weather all last week with no humidity.

    Blessings and hugs,
    Mary

  27. I hope you had a great weekend. I love hollyhocks. Have you ever made hollyhock dolls? Or maybe I'm just telling my age.

    Blessings,

  30. Deena:
    I said an extra prayer for you this morning (although you are in my prayers every day.)
    I also have a pink hollyhock on my deck. But guess what? It's fake.
    I do not have a green thumb in any sense of the word............
