The Ballad of Trenchmouth Taggart

This is assigned reading for my book club. It's interesting so far.

A July Wedding

Tonight we were reminded of how fun and exciting it is to be newlyweds. While we're wishing the young couple much happiness, we're enjoying reminiscing about our own wedding night.

Overcast Sunset

The daylillies have finally bloomed!

Seven-Eight-Nine

I wanted to post this picture of an odd perennial that just bloomed in my garden, because it is an odd day. At 12:34 and 56 seconds today we had a 1-9 sequence.

By the way, this is one of the few plants in my garden whose name I don't know.

Happy Birthday to the cheesecake lover in my life

He turns 40 today and I've known him about 26-27 of those years. He voluntarily became my son. Over the years we have become accomplices for a very personal cause and also become allies in activism against a way of life that is harmful to women and children. He is definitely one of the most important men in my life.

Happy Independence Day!

We spent a quiet 4th at home. I'm practicing knitting lace by knitting up this washcloth. The pattern is #3 in the knifty knit book

In the 2nd picture notice what was going on in the background whilst I was in a photo shoot?

Oh, have I ever mentioned how thankful I am to live in this country?

Tree-Trimming :-(

Tonight my granddaughter and I prayed that God would make the trees grow back.

Fuschias II

My Fuschias are doing better as you can see.

The Thirteenth Tale

I just finished reading this book by Diane Setterfield. It is not the kind of book I would normally choose, but I recently joined a bookclub and it is assigned reading.

Wow...it was definitely a page-turner and I could not put it down. Yes, I would recommend it, especially if you like twists and turns and surprises.

Foxtails (AKA June Grass)

Look at our poor little Abby standing right in the middle of the evil foxtails! If only we'd known when we took this picture. We had to take Jasmine to the vet to have some removed from her swollen, painful paw. We'll be more careful next time we go into a field full of weeds.
