Taking a bouquet to church for Sunday worship has become a tradition. I always enjoy putting it together. DH picks the flowers, I arrange them. I used ‘Kwanso’ daylilies, ‘Becky’ daisies, and purple coneflowers to make today’s bouquet. The cats are always intrigued by the fresh foliage on Sunday mornings. Amy couldn’t resist an inspection.

Here are some photos from the past few months. May 24 ~ my birthday. David and his family were here and we enjoyed a great grilled meal. During the course of clearing the table before dessert, Snow White ran into a plate held by Rose Red and had her own little medical emergency. Pa grabbed […]
The peonies are in full bloom, a bit later this spring than usual. They smell heavenly. I hope you have peonies in your garden. ~~Rhonda
I haven’t been able to get out much this spring, but managed to today. The irises and peonies are beautiful right now. And the hostas…well, some survived last summer’s drought and are looking great…some didn’t make it. We need to do an inventory to figure out how much and what we lost. I really love […]
We woke up to a light and fluffy snowfall this morning. The kind that outlines everything in white. DH went out and took a few pictures before going to work. So fluffy! It looks like cotton batting on the branches. The edge of the woods. Mind you, our little “woods” is only about an acre, […]
My oldest daughter took this picture today…our first daffodil to open this season. This is a ‘Von Sion’ daffodil. Often found in old/vintage gardens. Our starts for this vintage flower came from the farmstead my husband grew up on. And where our older son and his family now live. We are happy to have it […]
The Southern Pin Oak in the back yard is a gold cloud. Crepe myrtles are a great shrub. They bloom in the heat of summer when other flowers are beginning to falter. And the foliage is always beautiful in the fall. Into the woods… Mulberry leaves… Mimosa leaves… Redbud leaves… Sassafras leaves in the woods… […]
Autumn is in the air, for sure. And it’s in the yard, too. The garlic chives have bloomed and are setting seed. Beautiful golden rod everywhere. One of my Mom’s favorite flowers. The red geraniums on the back step are perking up for the last part of the season. The bouquet for church looks quite […]
After a long two months of drought, we have been getting rain off and on. And we are so grateful for it. Some of the garden plants are looking better, though many have leaves that are half crisped to brown. These dogwood trees look so sad. I don’t know what this bodes for next spring. […]
