Good Wednesday morning! Rain or Shine it is a beautiful day!
This picture of Livvy, next door neighbor, loving a Giant Turtle brought back memories to me.
Growing up, we had turtles in our backyard. We would find them on the side of the road going to and from the 500 acre Ranch we had in South Texas. We would number them with fingernail polish and be careful when mowing.
Our granddaughters have raised these turtles from little ones in an aquarium.
Wayne made their first home in a metal water trough with a spraying fountain.
They are in a rubber stock tank home now as they have grown.
God's creatures are all so different and amazing. What pets did you have growing up? Blessings & Hugs! Pam
Trust in your Faith to make this day the best day of your life!
This beautiful Tuesday is for the Birds!
And of course this peaceful day is for the Bees too!
We can't forget the joyful feeling we get when we see a Parrot.
Or the awe we feel when we are treated to the sight of a Woodpecker!
All over the world there are so many different kinds of birds and we are grateful that our Lord created each of us unique and He loves each of us the most. Be Blessed!
Sunrise on a Spring Monday Morning is usually so beautiful.
The birds are happy and have been enjoying the nectar.
Spring plants are all blooming and smell so good.
The colors of the plants "pop" especially from a distance.
Everything now is getting a drink of water. It is April showers after all.
But if we have too many more days of rain, plants and people may get root rot. Enjoy whatever the weather brings you all the days of this week. Joy and Love!
Wednesday is here and the weather has been perfect this week. A little cold in the mornings but opened windows during the day with temperatures in the low 70's.
This was me last weekend and it will be me again this weekend. I love rain, thunder and lightning!
Can you imagine the trash that would be everywhere, peelings and all? Only in a perfect world would this work.
I remember a friend once that couldn't even keep an Air plant alive. I am so thankful for my green thumb.
Plants can make you feel so good looking at them and especially smelling them.
I really can't have tooooooo many plants. How about you? Blessings & Hugs! Pam
Thursday is here and the weekend can't be far behind.
I know some of you are still having cool weather but I am hoping you will warm up soon!
As you know our temperatures are all over the place. Today will be in the upper 80's; however, a cool front is coming through tomorrow.
Tuesday all 3 of our girls got a brushing and a bath by Rbt.
Then while I was working on Wednesday, all 3 got to go for a car ride and got their nails trimmed.
So now we are back to working in the yard spreading our 16 bags of mulch in several of our flower beds. Thanks for your friendship! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
Tuesday, our Tacos & Run Errands Day. We got 16 bags of mulch yesterday on sale but they will have to wait until the coming weekend. I am working on Wednesday because they will all be at a meeting.
Spotting the Blimp yesterday reminded me how much I love Hot Air Balloons. We have been to Plano to watch them and it will be time this summer for the Festival again.
Just imagine up in the air and no one else around. Peace and solitude.
Or lots of other beautiful balloons all around you!
And looking down or off in the distance at all things God has created.
Up Up and Away! I will be back on Thursday! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
What a weekend! Thank goodness Monday is here. We worked in the yard this weekend but we are NOT finished.
However, all the strawberries on all the 5 plants have been eaten.
On Saturday, our homemade greenhouse got completely cleaned out. Plants got trimmed and dead leaves thrown away. Yes, I may have gotten a little "pink" after over 6 hours as it was just above 90°.
But so many plants are blooming including all 5 of our Rose bushes.
And most everything else has lots of buds like all my different colors of Amaryllis. I can't wait to see which colors bloom first.
Yes, all the plants got to go back under the shade that the lattice provides on Sunday. Next is buying 20 bags of mulch to be put down.
And thank you for those that ask about Reba. She is still going in and out of the Doggie Door on her own. Blessings & Hugs! Pam
I had the best day at work ever yesterday. I made 39 phone calls, left 15 voice messages, but talked to 24 clients. It was wonderful.
Thursday we took the plastic off of all the plants and put it away, hopefully there will be no more temperatures near freezing.
The Hostas and Ferns are doing so well. Just a few weeks ago, I thought that one of the Hostas would never come back this year. God's timing is perfect.
Got some of the Ivy plants hung up in the shady areas so the 90° sunshine doesn't burn them. Spring will cool off next week!
The prolific Airplane plants are happy in the shade of the Juniper trees too.
Today in between college baseball, softball, and basketball games. I hope to get these beautiful blooming plants set out all around the backyard. I could surely use your help. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
