Day One Hundred Seven

One Last Tulip Picture


Beautiful Saturday. Threat of a freeze tonight. Neil planted some flowering things today, so we covered those up, just in case. He says a freeze won't hurt the Tulips. They won't last much longer anyway. So, here's one last Tulip picture.

Day One Hundred Six

Friday Flies


Dandelion garden. You don't need a green thumb to grow these.

Miss Shelby: Visiting Artist. She was very painterly today.

Snowball. So pretty and they smell good, too. The kids like to throw them at each other like snowballs.

Tree seeds. I call them "those whirly things". The wind scattered them in countless numbers today. They are everywhere.

Fridays always fly by way too fast. Hope yours was grand.

Day One Hundred Five

Color Me Purple


These purple Iris are just about the prettiest things growing in our yard right now. I never get tired of looking at my Tennessee state flower.

Day One Hundred Four

Lovey Dovey


It's mating season--the birds and the bees and such. These two Doves might be mates. Or just hanging out together on the deck rail. Their call always sounds mournful to me. Makes me think of that Prince song 'When Doves Cry'.
