One Last Bulb

This year I put an amaryllis bulb in the middle of my paperwhite bulb arrangement. All the paperwhite bulbs bloomed first. I cut off the tops of the paperwhites and left the leaves in the bowl as a backdrop to the amaryllis bulb. It turned out really pretty.

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.

This year I tried several varieties of Amaryllis bulbs and it was hard to choose my favorite. I can’t wait until next Christmas!

Elvas Amaryllis, Lemon Star Amaryllis, Splash Amaryllis, Paperwhites.

Conservatory In the Making

Ever since we moved into our house, Paul has envisioned a conservatory off the back porch area. This year, we came closer to that vision when Paul invented a temporary room to store our plants this winter instead of the garage. Now, I just love to go out to see my plants in bloom after work. The area stays very warm and everything is just thriving. I can’t wait to get the full conservatory built someday. Thank you Paul !!

A Perfect Weekend

I love to spend time with Brian. This weekend I enjoyed watching him work on all the arrangements for their trip to Antigua Guatemala. Amazing. He and Jennifer are going to have such a great time. While they are gone, I will sit in the garden and enjoy all the flowers of fall.

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.
