Catch Up and A Miss

I don’t know where time goes or what happens to my time but blog time seems to escape routine. It’s not that I have terribily important things to do even though staying busy does help my situation. Busy busy is mostly what goes on here and not much accomplishment. As you can tell from these photos I am behind in sharing my garden….such as it is. We will start with Easter….yep…that far back. My #1 son and DnL gave me this beautiful Gerbera. Not usually being successful with plants like this I have  been really pleased. Already deadheaded three blooms and more keep coming.

And then there was Mothers Day. My boys are pretty good at calling or even giving me a pretty card but not usually flowers so it was a wonderful surprise when this showed up on my front porch. Son #2 sent them ( this was the bigest surprise). The little bird nest  didn’t look weather proof so after removing it this petunia now hangs on the back porch so I can keep it watered ( I’m bad about letting plants go dry )and enjoy from the kitchen and breakfast room.

Now to the garden…not much but pretty .. The Mothers Day rose ( wild pink ) always blooms for the occasion and the red three Sisters rose is not far behind. The day lilies have just about dissapeared but there were a few.

Easter Lily came in late to the Spring party and then this morning a Cala Lily showed up.

Isn’t Nature wonderful to behold? The roses are struggling  but a few are picture worthy.

After the crazy Winter/Spring mix we have had the fruit trees are still in question. Only one fig has any sign of fruit, the blueberries have never out done themselves and won’t again this year and the Pom?…..well…..again it is beautiful but has never set fruit.

After a short break I will take you on a birthday party extravagancea.  Three for one.

Until then…remember…This is the Lords day….Rejoice and be Glad.

Would enjoy hearing from you….please let me know you were here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Mother’s Day

I’m not sure If I have Irish blood or not,Scottish probably, but one lucky thing happened on the way to Mother’s day.

The card was made earlier, I try to stay a month a head, but didn’t have an idea for a gift or for the inside of the card.  On my weekly trip  to Walmart, which some of you know isn’t my favorite place to visit,  Bingo!!! there were these  really different and fresh plants.   They are called Sun Star (orange). Well they also match the card I had already made. Perfect match which almost never happens.

Now …here is the lucky ending. On Facebook this morning this poem came up and low and behold the picture behind the poem was the same plant…in orange. This was just a God thing for sure.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you. Leave a little love for all the mothers out there. Doesn’t need to be a pricey gift. Just let them know you care.

This is the Lords day….REJOICE!!!

Please let me know you have paid a visit. It matters…… it really does.
