Happy 80th Birthday Message to Dad !

This is a rare picture of us because you are in it Dad. You spent most of your life capturing our lives on film, so were rarely in the picture yourself. I do not think you knew then, how much we would enjoy and treasure all the pictures you took of us over the years now, later in life. So I just wanted to say thank you on this your 80th birthday.

Happy 80th Birthday from all of us ! We love you very much.

We had a wonderful day with special friends for brunch. Then it was time for sports. Cowboys and Rangers both winners today. I am so glad that Brian is home and we got to be all together tonight with Jennifer. Thank you Paul for helping me !!

I took this picture out our bedroom window. The back of this rose was so lovely, dancing in the sunlight, enjoying the rain we got last night.

Fall blooms are in full glory at P&B Garden. So happy that it rained on Sunday !!

It’s Back !! I missed P&B’s Garden Blog !!

My blog was not working for almost a week and I really missed being able to use it !! I am so grateful that Jennifer thought of this idea for me. I really enjoy it. Thank you Jenn !!

This plant is a Datura or trumpet vine and it had well over 8 blooms today. It opens at dusk. The seeds and leaves are dangerous to humans so we warn all dog owners that come over about this plant. I bought this plant downtown at the Farmer’s Market at the start of spring. It is perennial.

Texas Is Hot Hot Hot

Despite the heat, “Old Yella” perennial hibiscus has been full of blooms. Each bloom makes me smile, it is so beautiful. This picture was taken in early morning and the filtered sunlight was shining through on the bloom. So pretty.

Everything else in the yard is totally stressed out and so are we from all the watering. Much to my surprise many of our heat tolerant sages are looking really bad. I wish it would rain !!

Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching these grow and bloom over the last few months and will look forward to them coming back next year !!

Summer Phlox

Last year it rained so much I nearly lost my entire bed of summer phlox to powdery mildew. This year the weather has been near drought conditions but my phlox is just thriving. Glad to see our favorite miniature moth hummingbird like bug come to visit too during the evenings.

Happy 4th of July

Paul and I are so glad that Mom, Dad, Keith, Courtney and Debbie are here to join in the festivities today.

God Bless America !
