When there is so much beauty, it's hard to think of the fires- but it's definitely a sad reality 😢❤
No truer words spoken, Margaret. 👍🤍🇭🇷
Thank you for taking us on the drive. The country still look beautiful. Just sad the fires happened now and you are going into autumn. If it was spring the flora would recover. I just think about all the little animals that would have perished in the fire. 😢

❤ it's looking so cute 😍 and I really love how your cabinet turned out too- lol If I remember right Oscar (?) is getting busy with your couch too lol my couch is barely 2 yrs old and yup... I probably couldn't GIVE it away thanks to our one cat Nely (Chanel) we've bought her probably 6 different scratch posts hoping she'd stop the couch and well, I quit wasting my money on scratching posts 😂 our other cat doesn't do that - she's too busy with other issues 😁 you made me lol about your end tables 😂 PS - that beautiful view though 😍 ❣️
Ty re the cabinet! Sadly Oliver passed away in January 😢this is a new member of the family, Toby. Yes the scratching pole thing is so true lol and I too laughed how you couldn’t give away your couch now lol same. I hope you’re doing well Margaret. 🤍
@@IdyllicChange ohh I'm sorry sweety, I know how much our animals mean to us😢 my hubby got our cat Coco, ( she's actually the 3rd cat) for the same reason our 1st cat passed too -warm hugs dear ❤️ It looks like your new addition loves the beautiful view as much as we do 😍
