A POST FROM MY DAUGHTER

Hello, friends!

This is my daughter Jacqueline. 

As part of BIO... BY INVITATION ONLY...

a group of international bloggers are given a prompt each month to blog about.

This month we were to ask someone else to write our monthly post!

I chose my sweet daughter! I started blogging because of her (you can read about it HERE) so I thought it only natural to let HER say a few words to my readers...

PATINA... becoming more beautiful with age

The hydrangeas in my garden are in the fall of their lives... literally! They have lost their fresh bloom. 

I think my hydrangeas are even more lovely this time of year than in the height of summer.

They have a rich patina... and have become even more beautiful with age...

CEDAR HILL RANCH~ BY INVITATION ONLY

Isn't this the most gorgeous Texas vista... bluebonnets in the mist at CEDAR HILL RANCH!

I belong to a group of bloggers, BY INVITATION ONLY who once a month are given a prompt and we write a post.

This month's prompt was...

" highlight someone's blog, a blogger who may be new, or an old and dear friend...but someone we admire so much.   Make certain you link the highlighted blog to your post."

I knew right away who I wanted to highlight...

This is my dear blogging friend Anita from CEDAR HILL RANCH.

Anita has been sharing her happy and upbeat personality and gifts in blogland since March 2011.  

Her blog, CEDAR HILL RANCH radiates love. It overflows with creativity and beauty in even the simplest things! She is a person who celebrates life and relationships and it show in her blog!

I asked Anita where her love for blogging comes from and she answered, "It's as if God made me to do it".

To Anita, a perfect day includes blogging! "You know it's what you love when you don't even need to be paid!"

Cedar Hill Ranch is named after her family's get-away ranch in Texas! 

The pictures taken below are good examples of the tag line for CEDAR HILL RANCH... country living with a french accent.

The country setting...

Her porch that makes all of us swoon...

The real live Treehouse on the ranch...

Wouldn't you love to be a guest in this room?

She love to decorate her "city home" too...and with a french twist.

Anita makes all of her own slipcovering and shares TIPS too!

And the girl can cook! I hope she will show us more of her culinary talent!

Her DYI projects are sooooo creative!

Anita is one of  4 Texas bloggers that host the very popular...
