I Love Being Married to a Plant-Man in the Spring!

Allen came back from Apopka yesterday
bearing two yellow rose bushes
and two white mandevillas
for our front porch.
The jasmine drapes our porch year round,
although it is almost bloomed out now,
but I still have my gardenias, 4 rose bushes,
a coral dahlia, a deep pink geranium,
and now white mandevillas.
My oasis grows more charming 
thanks to my husband.

On the Prowl Again at the Golf Course

Finally, a Hawk!
Not a perfect shot, but it made me happy.
My how the Lord decorates His creatures!

It's not a Hallmark Card...

My 89-year-old friend and beloved correspondent,Velma, 
fell and broke her wrist last Friday.
Hallmark doesn't make a card that exactly expresses 
what I wished to say, so...
I wrote and mailed this ditty to her today.



And this was what I hand-stamped on the front
of the envelope I sent her.
She has a great sense of humor!
(That's me lamenting Velma's fall)

A Conversation With Aly When She Was Six




She's eight years old, now, but Aly has always been quite smart.
Smarter than her grandmother, obviously!
