... of those wonderful quiet moments after our day is done ...
alone
to just reflect on the kid-lings
life
love
Ansel is now 12 ...
Tatiana is 10 ...
Wherever has the time gone? They are more handsome & cuter every day. We had great celebrations for their birthdays.
Now for that garden stroll ... you know I've have been very busy helping Mimi & Poppy ...
These are our pretty sunflowers ...
This one looks like it has a face...
There are so many different kinds of sunflowers. We enjoy watching all the birds flit about at the feeders hidden amongst the sunflowers ...
As you can see, I love digging & helping Mimi & Poppy. I have my own garden tools, also.
The gladiolas are in for the first year & putting on a really pretty show ...
Mimi got so excited to capture this gorgeous butterfly ...
These Crocosmia's are from my 3-gr-g'ma Maggie's garden that Mimi dug up in WA ST & brought them home. They were on the right side of G'ma Maggie's sun porch steps.
This year the deer are not eating our hostas ...
When we do our morning walks thru the gardens we found this pretty pink lily ...
The begonias are such pretty colors, I love sniffing them ...
These hydrangeas are just beautiful ...
And the other lilies are very sweet smelling.
Truly enjoyed my visit and seeing so many interesting things. The best part is all the great words on your sidebar. They are wonderful and we all should apply more.
ReplyDeleteThey sure grow up fast.
ReplyDeleteHi Marydon, Your grandchildren grow up so very fast and they are a lot of fun to have a round. Happy Birthday to the birthday people. I enjoyed my tour of your garden. Your flowers are beautiful and I don't know which are my favorite. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are sooooo beautiful!

I can not link my Love is... to you! This blogger business is getting to be for the birds! I just don't like any of the other options here! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteBut I did put my Love is...up today! I really like yours and it is relaxing like mine! HeeHee! We think alike! Hope your week is wonderful! Hugs, Anne
What a lovely stroll thru the garden AND a big Happy Birthday! Have a blessed day, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what she means that she can't link "my Love is..." to you. In HER Blog or here in the comment box?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to hyperlink her Love is...post here.

Hi Marydon, What a beautiful post filled with gorgeous flowers from your garden and Love is.
ReplyDeleteYour little one is a darling for sure. I can see you have hours of joy with her. How grown up Ansel and Tatianna are. They are so cute . Where does the time go?
Thank you so much for stopping by my WBC post. I just had to stop in for the 5th year of this event. I am trying to be back in the fall. I really miss everyone.
Love you my friend, Celestina Marie

ReplyDeleteOh Sis...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post this evening. I loved reading through and catching up on photos. Ms M was such a wonderful tour guide. I can see she knows right where everything is, and what a big helper she is now. I know the joy she brings both you and Harold. Makes your heart melt doesn't it?
Ansel has grown so fast. I love the distant look in his eye. He is a dreamer with big dreams that is going to take him far.
I notice in the background the christening gown in it's place of honor on the wall. It looks so beautiful all framed and matted. It is in a great resting place. You chose well sweet Sis.
Tatiana, wow has she ever grown as well. She is absolutely gorgeous. Emery is going to be busy holding back the guys with her. So beautiful.
Hope you are getting ready for a peaceful weekend. Not sure what the weather is doing out there. It's hot here. Just hot, hot and more hot.
I love you and miss you SO much. All my love your lil sis, Sherry
