The Flower beds

For years I've been filling the holes in the concrete blocks with dirt and planting things to cover the whole top of the wall. This part looks pretty good. This is a retaining wall beside our drive way. I need to do some more planting here.

One of my favorite trees has been in bloom. Redbuds grow wild around here. The dogwoods are in bloom, too. I love spring.

Eight years ago today

This little girl came into our lives and we became grandparents. Being a grandparent is a special part of life.

Of course there are days when she says "No Nannie, no more pictures".

Spring, spring, spring

Spring is here. Well, if you call going from needing the heat on one week and needing the air conditioner the next spring. More like going from winter to summer.

It is beautiful. I drive around looking at everything in bloom.

I'm ready to start filling the planters with flowers.

My house is too quiet.

When I told her she had to go home today she told me she was already home.

Can you tell she spends a lot of time here.

Today I tried to teach my little lefty how to crochet right-handed.

This picture was from last fall.

Last year my mother gave me some dishes that belonged to my grandmother.

I love the color and the design.

The year before that she gave me my grandfather's silver.

Here they are together.

I've been internetless (do you think that is a real word?)

All because the old modem died.

And the first one of these was bad.
