Noah

Noah spent Friday night with Granny and Papaw.  On Saturday we all got up and headed over to Tipp to the Antique and Artisan Show.  Noah went along and was attentive just in case there happened to be any Monster Trucks for sale.  I didn’t think there would be any and tried to tell him, but he is such a strong believer. He didn’t go home empty handed, however.  He didn’t find any Monster Trucks, but he did get a “kitty” from Wally the Balloon Man.

I believe I may have learned how to post a picture to my blog.

Just a practice shot of the back deck. Just to see if I could figure out how to post it. I think I have done it!

The Garden is in Full Bloom

With the early onset of warm weather, the lilies are blooming at least a week to two weeks in advance. Usually it is in July before the fullness of the garden takes place, but each morning when we walk out, there are more and more beautiful flowers. The butterflies are appearing and this seems to be a spectacular season for dragonflies. I am so thankful for the summer months when I can take a break from teaching to enjoy my time in the garden. Every morning is spent with Birdman as we drink our morning cups of coffee, read the paper, and then walk through the gardens to see what new lilies have bloomed for the day.
