In Living Color

When Nabors and I moved into our awesome home, we were given a house warming present by our aunts.  With one of the presents, we bought rose bushes.  We worked so hard to redo the soil and get everything ready for the roses.  Well, much to our delight, we have beautiful roses that fill vases all spring and summer (sometimes into the fall).  These are the first cuttings of this season. 

enjoy!

Peek A Boo!

Two summers ago, I planted some begonias in our front beds.  I have this habit/desire to have all of the plants around me that have made my grandmother so happy throughout my life. 

I have a few of my favorites, but for the most part, I have only planted or transplanted things she had growing around her.  Meme loves begonias, and every summer, she plants them in her front barrel.  I had to have some. 

One thing she always tells me is that they will only last for the summer….so I better enjoy them.  Which really makes them that much more amazing. 

 

Well, these little gems were planted two summers ago and I never took them up at the end of the season.  I was delighted last summer when they came back up, and with the dawn of spring again this year…here they are playing peek-a-boo!  I love these little friendly flowers!

enjoy!

Our Little Vegetable Garten

Nabors and I decided to start a little vegetable garten this year.  We have planted tomatoes, peppers, and herbs.  We are extremely excited to see the harvest that these little plants produce!

enjoy!

Texas Wildflowers

I am always amazed at the beautiful colors that dot the Texas Highways this time of year.  They really have been refreshing and beautiful this year while making the drive back and forth to Paris to see Meme and Grandaddy.  I am so thankful for God’s amazing creativity in nature.  So, of course, I had to stop and take some pictures. 

enjoy!
