Happy Birthday

we hope your day gets better

tooling around in a gorgeous restored chevy

headed for a hearty breakfast

then to enjoy a ride in a vintage race car

getting ready for the evenings entertainment

but first there is birthday cake to enjoy

and then it is time to get off the couch

and head for the track!

We hope you have a wonderful day and can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks.

Love Sandy, June and Jennifer

Black Hens & Chicks Blooming

in the birdbath planter on the back porch

We were at Lowe's a few weeks ago and ran across some new hens and chicks they had just got in and since they were something different we just had to bring them home. So far the emerald empress have not done anything except survive but the black ones are blooming and look great.

I had planned on showing my lastest cross stitch finish but forgot the gizmo for the camera so that will have to wait until next week. Have a wonderful weekend.

we have a matching row on the other side of the garden

more at the edge of my reading corner inside the garden

around the tree in the front yard

we also have the front ditch next to the road full

When we started our flower garden we had a patch of these daylilies at the edge of our property in the ditch. We dug them up and planted a long row on either side of the flower garden and around my reading corner. We then started moving them further along the ditch until it became full and around the tree in the front yard at the corner of the driveway and ditch. They are beautiful in full bloom.
