Summer 2013

Ted and his mom on her front porch.

our house in 2013 the entire outside was redone, siding roof, windows, insulation in attic area and the garage was remodeled into my new studio. Where you see the garage door that was removed and a door was put in with a window in the side along with the walls. Also gutters. That was a very busy spring and early summer.....

Just a lot of my flowers and a few from when we went to Upsate New York. I have several different colors of azaleas,

These flowers were from Upstate New York, these tulips were at the Albany Air Port

                                              these were from Ted's mom yard.

 

More of my flowers, I love my gardenias, they smell sooooo good!

 

 

This is s our princess Zoey, bear bears mommy... She was a good mother at only 7 months old.

This I a gorgeous trumpet vine, I have always wanted one but never did. 2 summers ago walaa there was one growing in he corner of our fence. How beautiful.

Bear Bear loves to lay by Ember as if he is watching over her. She has just been diagnosed with cancer and the tumor is about the size of ping pong ball. She is too old for surgery, we are letting her just live quality of life instead of sick from chemo, she has pain in her hips and that is how the vet found it on xray.  Don't you just love how Bear "little buddy" lays with his back feet straight out behind him. He lays like that a lot...too cute

Some of my pretty flowers. God is good!

 

 

My Fun Things

This is my gorgeous husband, sweet, loving and that kind of pinch your cheeks cutie pie....I love you darling, it is your love that I live for. Your like a breath of fresh air everyday, the water that gives life to what ever you touch. The best blessing God has ever given me. I love you.

Oh yes a clean pool, the water is wonderful and just so sparkling fresh.

here is a beautiful passion flower that grows wild in my back yard. Better known as the passion fruit it produces in the fall. The love flower, aphrodisiac, it really is a stunning flower....

More Butterflys

not sure what this little guy is but he/she is really pretty.

My Butterfly bush comes alive

swollow tail butterfly.

so so pretty

Pink Rose even now

This beautiful rose bloomed in just the past few days dispite the plunging temperatures. It is breathtaking and one of our new kittens, Pip thinks so too...

Peach Geranium

Such delicate little petals.

Pink Peace Lily

I just love all my flowers, the beauty of all of God's creation inspires me all the more to make beautiful things and experiment with all that He has given me. Take time to look at the flowers and butterflies and birds and how different and magnificent each one is. The colors are my passion, the shapes and the striking ability to capture your site and build a scrapbook in your mind, one you can always carry and dig out at any time with out anyone ever knowing.
Do others see the same things you do in the same way? Does it matter to them like it does to you. To imagine God in all His glory created them, such vivid colors and when you see a rainbow they are all right there in front of you, is that the beginning or the end.

Another pretty flower

I just love all the pretty flowers. Not sure what this is called.
We planted Tomatoes, cukes, zuccini and some new rose bushes today.

I love this Iris

This Iris was planted many years ago and it came form my moms home in Upstate ny, it has been planted here for about 10 years and this is the first blume, it is planted over the grave of my beloved cat Elsa.

Favorite azalea I have 8 bushes of just this variety.

A bee's butt

Hum this little guy is really down in there collecting his pollen. A great picture of a bees butt...these azaleas actually sound like they are singing to you, but they really are just so full of bees.
