Day One Hundred Twenty Eight 2013

Peonies are budding in my back yard.

Neighbor kitty Lily followed me around while I snapped some pics. She’s always on the go~a constant blur.

I wish we had more of these dark purple Irises. I really like that yellow stripe.

Peony bud looks like a swirly little planet. The flowers smell so good.

I have no idea what these are but I like them. They grow on a vine.

Azaleas are one of my faves, too. God sure knew what He was doing when He made flowers, didn’t He?

Day Ninety Seven 2011

These purple irises are the prettiest thing in our yard right now. Hope they'll stick around for a while longer. It's a purple river of eye candy.

Day Ninety Six

Sidewalk Art, Elijah Man, And An Iris

It's Spring Break. Grand kids Elijah and Shelby were here today, and both of them were sick. Poor Shelby had a fever and some kind of stomach bug which put her down for the whole day. And Elijah had a bad sunburn on his shoulders and back that gradually slowed him down until he was wiped out right along side Shelby this afternoon. We did manage to get in some sidewalk chalk art this morning and that was fun.

This is my fancy sidewalk chalk art heart. We tracked it into the house on the soles of our shoes.

The Tennessee state flower is blooming in our yard--just this one. For now. Others are sure to follow in the next few days. It was such a beautiful day today. Wish the kids could have enjoyed it. Get well soon, guys!!
