California, 2011

Since I am out at my sister's in Davis CA this week for my nephew's graduation from college (with honors),thought I'd post a few pictures from her back yard.

She has 2 orange trees-loaded down with fruit

Big artichoke plant-wish I could bring some home

baby pears on her pear tree

Rooted these lantanas from hubbies plant in Mobile. Glad to see they survived and are blooming.

Birthday present from my sister-Endless summer pink Hydranga finally planted-along with the gardenia:

Along with another hydrangea she sent me last year.

Gonna have salad before too much longer!

I don't remember inviting him to the party!

Beauty can be found anywhere

This is a field behind the building where I work in houston. Looks like nothing going on from here

But if you just walk out there you begin to see some of God's beauty.

You just never know where God may show up.

Mother's Day weekend.

I was able to make a quick trip to Mississippi for Mother's Day. It was a wonderful delightful weekend

Wanted to post and link in early-we've rented a cabin at Lake Livingston and may not get to tomorrow. Here's a few things that are green and blooming at my house this week. Also, scroll down and see some pix from some local garden centers and greenhouses visits I have made this week. Will also post a couple of pix I got when we arrived at the lake late this afternoon. We've already grilled burgers and sausage and had a pic-nic. Weather beautiful and breezy here in Texas. Prayers up for everyone who is not having it so good right now! Be safe!

Planters are full and overflowing!

veggies coming along

Zinna patch looking good. I love having these for cut flowers. So easy to grow!

I had planted 8 lily bulbs-finally found the 8th one!

Lake Livingston this afternoon. 2nd largest lake in Texas. Huge and beautiful. Lots of birds all around our cabin

Arbor Gate

My sister, Paula, sent me a gift certificate to Arbor Gate in Tomball-about an hour from our house-for my birthday. Of course, it was burning a hole in my pocket. So we rode out and I got a hydrangea, a gardenia, a coral bell and a "schrnooie". Thanks big sis!
