Weekend Snaps | Memorial Day
Is it Sunday or Monday? i don’t know – I’ve lost track. 😉 I suppose I better get my act together soon, though, so that I make sure we all get off to work and school in the morning. We had a fabulous long weekend, spending Saturday on some gardening projects and yard work and […] Read more…
Weekend Snaps | My Gardens
It was a miserable weekend, weather-wise … 40s and cold rain. Is this really May 21? But on the flip-side, my cousin and her daughter visited from Iowa and it was a blast to see them! Plus … my 13-year-old had his first date! I know – whaaaat? He and a girl went to the movies […] Read more…

Friday Night Garden Tour

Weekend Snaps | Flower Power
How was your weekend? Ours was nice and uneventful at home. We golfed, we enjoyed time on our patio, and today I packed up my suitcase for the next two weeks. I’m off to Washington DC tomorrow morning for a work-related conference and I’m looking forward to seeing my turkey peeps for a few days. […] Read more…
