Double Beauty



These darlings are the next newest members of my family. Alex and Halie were born right after Thanksgiving last year and in this picture they are three months old. My family has been growing this past year, wouldn't you say. Three beautiful little girls! Don't you just know they will have a great time growing up together?

Peppermint Geranium

When shopping for plants this spring I came across this peppermint stripe geranium and think it is very pretty. It sits on my patio and gets lots of TLC.

One of my passions is working in the back yard. For some reason, I don't enjoy working in the front yard, only do what needs to be done there - like trimming hedges, mowing, and watering. Jeff, one of my grandsons, mows for me most of the time (for pay, of course) and I pay a young man that lives across the street from me to edge the front lawn each week. I'm just not ready to turn Jeff loose with a weed-eater because I have injured myself a couple times with one. But, I do love working in the back yard and find it to be very relaxing, even if the work is hard. It's my therapy - which I seem to need quite a lot of some days. So, lots of days I can be found in the back yard "digging in the dirt".

Precious in Pink


Meet the newest member of my family, Kallyn. My friend Debi has encouraged (and, I use the word loosely) me to start a blog, so I decided to start with something new. Hopefully, I will be able to post things of interest along the way. Wish me luck as I learn!
