Hi Friends! I am absolutely loving Proven Winner Hi Friends! 

I am absolutely loving Proven Winners’ Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth (Gomphrena pulchella)! This is my first year growing it, and I’m already thinking it will be back in the garden next year. 💗

It has the cutest bright pink, globe-shaped flowers, and this little flower loves the heat! When temperatures hit the mid-90s, the Truffula Pink really shines. ☀️

Oddly enough, I don’t get many monarch butterflies in my garden, but I had some visit this week—and they were hanging out on the Truffula Pink Gomphrena! 🦋💗

For that reason alone, I’ll definitely be growing it again next year!

🌸 Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth
• Annual
• Zones 9a–11b
• Height: 22–28”
• Spread: 22–26”
• Full sun ☀️
• Drought tolerant
• Pink flowers
• Great in containers or planted directly in the ground
• Low maintenance
• No deadheading required

Have you grown Truffula Pink Gomphrena? 🌸🦋

Look at this river of pink! Supertunia Vista Bubblegum by Proven Winners burst with flowers this week.
🌸
During July Garden tour, my petunias were looking sad, hardly any flowers. I said how disappointed I was. I followed all the Supertunia rules, spray with BT and fertilize. Then I made a little bit stronger concotion of BT Spray and a few days later, the plant rewarded me with beautiful pink blooms. 
🌸
Have the best day!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great!

Have a great day!

Hi everyone! This is Samuel! I am taking over mama Hi everyone! This is Samuel! I am taking over mamas page because I was gifted the most amazing comforter from my friends @downlitebedding You know that pillows and comforters from DOWNLITE are my favorite thing in the world next to treatos and giving kisses! 
🐾
This is the All Season EnviroLoft Down Alternative Hotel Duvet Insert with Duvet Tabs by DOWNLITE (Hypoallergenic). It is so soft to touch and perfect for me to stretch and lay on. Oh how I love my new bedding. Thinking of it makes me want to take a nap. 
🐾
Mama said that she is a hot sleeper and this is her favorite comforter to sleep with because she doesn’t wake up sweating. Gross Mom! Try being covered in fur. 
🐾
The comforter is 230 thread count, machine washable and even has duvet tabs which it perfect for using with your duvet covers. I love this comforter so much. Nothing like sleeping on fresh sheets and having the perfect comforter to wrap yourself in. 
🐾
Thank you DOWNLITE for this amazing comforter and thank you for giving my friends a 10% discount. 10% off: DYGEN10
🐾
I hope you all have the best day!!
🐾
❤️Samuel

PS. Sorry mama hasn’t posted in a while. My brother Sully 🐶 who is a 2 year old Yellow Labrador has been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in March and has gone through radiation treatment and is currently doing chemo. He’s been really ill and mamas main focus has been taking care of him. She hopes to be back soon.
