Hi,
Welcome to my blog. I’m Dianna.
I have always lived in southeast Virginia, where I have very “deep roots”. My family history on my maternal grandmother’s side has been traced back to Jamestown 1607.
My husband is a semi-retired high performance (racing) engine builder. We’ve known each other for over 40 years and have been married for 10.
Other than watching races, I also enjoy antiquing, rubber stamping and gardening.
We’re fortunate to live on the water, so we have front row seats for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Photos of those will show up quite often here on my blog.
You’ll also see pictures and mentions of my son, Marshall from time to time.
And we can’t forget little Sundae-girl. She even takes over writing occasionally on “Sundae Says”.

Please visit again soon – there’s always something going on! And feel free to leave comments; I would love to hear from you.





















Diane, your site is wonderful. Love the pictures. Will you be highlighting your cards, too?
Dianna, Thanks for sending me this blog. Your pictures are great.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! These pictures are beautiful and relaxing! I love water,too. As you can see on my blog, we live by the water, too….a red muddy pond in Oklahoma, which is drying up because we are in a severe drought!
I hope we will become “Blog friends”. I will come back soon to see you! Glad to meet you!
Well aren’t you just the nicest lady ever?! I appreciate every single comment you left over at my blog:) Very sweet of you and I wanted to tell you, before I get to exploring too much more, that I love what you named this blog – “These Days of Mine” …perfect!

I’m so glad I found your blog via Fresh Pressed. You write as though I am sitting with you at your kitchen table; it’s comfortable and inviting and I don’t want to leave. Delicious photos… cheers! MJ
Hi Dianna,
We met at the McDonald’s Garden Market at Peninsula Town Center earlier this week. I really enjoyed your blog. We have more in common than just plants! Hope to see you again some time.

Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed:) I’ve enjoyed a little tour around your blog – -I’ll be back.
Hi Dianna! It’s nice to “meet” you, thanks to the snail mail blog swap.
I look forward to reading more about you as I enjoy your blog.
Hi Diana,
Thank you for stopping by my blog, reading and commenting on my story about “Our Marshmellow”. It is a pleasure to meet you, as well. I look forward to returning and reading your blog entries and seeing Sundae’s creative touches.
Toodles,
Isadora
Hi Diana! Haven’t been to your blog until now but saw you on Country Man’s Wife’s site — and love your photos! Looking forward to seeing more!
Hello Diana,
Thank you for visiting my blog, and for your thoughtful and kind comments.
I’m intrigued by some of the things you shared here. I love Virginia, love the history of that area, and have some other things in common with you too. I enjoy stamping, simple gardening, and obviously, blogging. Fun to find a kindred spirit out there! Oh, and another thing we share, I enjoy reading MJ’s blog also. I look forward to getting acquainted! ~ Sheila
What lovely photos, and it’s nice to find a fellow Virginian. Although, as a displaced Yankee I am not sure I count.
I found you through Writing Feemail’s blog.
Your blog posts are truly charming Dianna! I’m “following” now. Love the photographs and you are so lucky to live on the water. We are landlocked in a small town north of Roanoke but enjoying mountain views and rolling hills.
I grew up in Virginia too. more the central western part of the state (aka Walton’s Mountain). I have lived in GA for over 25 years now though. I try to get to VA several times a year. My sister (and fellow blogger) lives on VA’s coast too!
HI Diane. I’ve enjoyed visiting your blog (saw your comment on Winsomebella). Just wanted to say what a spectacular sunset picture this is! I saw a comment about your photography so I’ll be dropping back in to see some more.
Hi Dianna,
I’ve enjoyed exploring your blog and the blogs you’ve awarded. It’s so addicting! Love the barns and fences and Sundae, of course.
HI! I found you through hotrodcowgirl ! So glad I did,,beautiful blog and wonderful sunset images! Love the barns! I’ll be back
