It continues to rain. Yesterday we had 3″. It rained again last night and poured this afternoon as we had dinner. The thunder is rumbling as I type. I took this picture from the front porch yesterday afternoon. The ground was too wet for traipsing through the garden. The tiger lilies are from DH’s family […]
Next time the twins visit the garden, they will no longer be babies, so indulge me, please. They are still sort of babies… 🙂 “Grandma said we could pick all the flowers we wanted.” Grandma’s future gardeners… They are headed back home today. Fourteen hours in the car (give or take, depending on the quality […]
We’ve had lots of rain this garden season. The yard is overflowing with plant life. Good and bad. The weeds are certainly enjoying all the wet and warm days as much as the flowers are. The fenced garden looks stuffed. Lots of green there! Outside the fence, on the northwest corner, ‘Second Hand Rose’ (daylily) […]

Grandpa’s pancakes served as second breakfast for the twins. They had first breakfast while Grandpa was out on his 52 mile bike ride. Grandpa puts chocolate chips in his pancake batter. Can you tell? Yeah for pancakes! And after their afternoon nap, a little pool time. They thought it was just as much fun to […]
I took a few pictures as I mowed this morning. Daylily ‘Cavern’ ‘Jedi Tequila Sunrise,’ daisies, and Lemon Lilies (yellow daylily) The tiger lilies (Lilium Tigrinum) came from DH’s family farm. The hosta ‘Janet’ has thrown an all green sport. We need to separate that and replant it elsewhere. Maybe we’ve got ‘Janet’s Green Sox.’ […]
How cute are these faces, entranced by the pictures on Grandpa’s camera? Grandpa, snoozin’ while on duty. The girls had a good time on the east porch this evening after dinner. Big sissy, little sissy. ~~Rhonda ::enjoying being a grandma::
Today is our oldest child’s 30th birthday. We’re so happy he and his family are visiting this week, and that we were able to celebrate his birthday with him. Birthday cake was enjoyed by all. Along with peach pie and apple pie, and home made ice cream…mint chocolate, raspberry, and vanilla. It was quite a […]
No contest. The Fourth started with a downpour and it rained until shortly after noon. We played on the front porch with the girlies and, after the rain stopped, they had a great time splashing in the puddles. Like Grandma said…the prettiest flowers in the garden. 🙂 ~~Grandma
