Belinda’s Dream and Generation Y

Bonnie — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:08:24 +0000

This summer I was working on a project for my industry. My daughter moved in with us for a few months and through her I learned the latest technology and marketing skills which helped me fulfill this huge initiative for my profession.

Through the eyes of this young Gen Y’er, who clicks the mouse much faster and quicker than this 50 something Baby Boomer, I got to visit behind the scenes of an new industry that is very innovative and remarkable. I not only learned about Drupal and social marketing, I learned more about who my daughter is and about her Generation Y.

Today after several hours of work on the project I can finally get back to my love of gardening. As I admire my blooming Belinda’s Dream Rose and enjoy its exquisite frangrance, I find that it too is so very remarkable, almost as much as our new Generation Y who no doubt will change the look of Corporate America.

This rose if for you Generation Y. Thank you Jennifer at www.iliveindallas.com. You are amazing !!

A New Direction

Bonnie — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:55:37 +0000

On Monday a very special person I know will begin a new opportunity. Today I had to reflect on portions of an old saying about people that come into your life for a reason, season or a lifetime. “When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They teach you something you have never done before and they bring you a great amount of joy” I am so thankful that I got the opportunity to work with and get to know Jessica. I will miss seeing her everyday but I know that this new direction will serve as a stepping stone in the pathway to her success and I wish her every happiness.

Flowers and Friendships Continue to Bloom Year after Year !

Bonnie — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:07:01 +0000

This rose produces a beautiful array of blooms every year and never fails me, just like my friendship with my two special friends Carey and Wendy. This weekend we had a wonderful time on a girls trip to McKinney, TX, great shops, great food, lots of laughter and wonderful memories. When I got back home I found this lovely rose blooming in my back yard.

I am so thankful for Flowers and Friendships that continue to Bloom Year after Year !!

Love you guys very much !! and thank you Chrysler Imperial Pink Rose !! What a perfect weekend !

Football, Flowers and Falling Rain

Bonnie — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 02:25:00 +0000

It’s hard to believe that football season is here and Da Bears and Da Boys are already back ! It was so good to see Paul watching the game today and not working in the yard !

I could not resist the beauty of the blooms today as cooler temperatures have brought delight to my garden. I just had to snap a few pictures between the raindrops. Enjoy P and B Garden this September day !!

A Warm Summer Night in Bedford

Bonnie — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 02:09:30 +0000

Yellow is such a warm, happy color and tonite when I got home I found such an exquisite array of rose buds and yellow canna blooms, that I just had to share the moment with you. Happy Day !!

Oh the Places You will Go…..

Bonnie — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 03:49:07 +0000

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they’re darked.
A place you could sprain both you elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?

And IF you go in, should you turn left or right…
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it’s not, I’m afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.

You can get so confused
that you’ll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place…

…for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a sting of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.

NO!
That’s not for you!

Lord Baltimore is Back

Bonnie — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:37:24 +0000

My favorite thing to do on the weekends is float around in the pool and gaze up at the Lord Baltimore Hibiscus. My bush is full of buds today and I can’t wait until I am off to enjoy the view from water.
