What a beautiful picture. I can hear Peggy Lee singing ‘Fever!’ Keep cool Penny; I hope you have somewhere to take refuge also.

Gorgeous wee flower. Such heat you have in summer then such cold in winter, it never ceases to amaze me.

This summer has been so hot and such violent storms, Marilyn, yet, we know, in a few months we will be buried in snow. It is amazing. Tonight, however, we have been blessed with cooling temperatures, which feels like such a relief and a treat to sleep with the windows open. Feverfew is such a pretty plant, it’s flowers look like little daisies. It does have a tendency to spread, however, and that is just what this wee little flower did – much to my delight.

Love the green with the white Feverfew! Taking refuge under those grand leaves could very well be the DEAL here!!
Hope all is well.
