It's not as hot today, but still quite warm. My sister and I couldn't handle the hot nights coming so quickly after our lovely cool nights....so last night we turned the air conditioner on so we could have a better sleeping temperature. I love summer more than winter, love the sunshine and the heat when… Continue reading SUMMERTIME OR NOT; HERE IT COMES!
What is life without God? When I look around and see so many who are sad, worn down by life; whose lives are full of trouble and sorrow, I grieve for them because they do not know the goodness of God. It isn't about whether things in your life are hard or easy. In this… Continue reading GOD IS GOOD
Recently, my daughter and her girls had the sad duty of putting their family dog to sleep.She was in a lot of pain, her body was shutting down and letting her go peacefully to sleep was a blessing for her....but very hard on my girls. She was a wonderful family pet; loved to play ball… Continue reading THE SHORT LIVED LIVES OF PETS
Remember that song...."those April showers that bring May flowers"?....Well, this year here in California it was March showers that have brought forth April flowers. Everything is in bloom; it's not May yet, and it's 82 degrees outside. Warm, sunny, breezy....and is going into the nineties for the rest of this week. So, here it is,… Continue reading SPRING?…..OR SUMMER? SPRUMMER?
My yard is alive with blossoms! So I went around and took photos of them. They are all so beautiful, but the only way to keep them is take a picture. So sad, but they have a very short life. While they are in bloom though, they are spectacular! Some of the blossoms are large,… Continue reading BLOSSOMS!!!!

My yellow climbing rose looks more like a small tree....which I… Continue reading FLOWERS, SUCCULENTS, WATER POTS

Photographs! Boxes and boxes of photographs; and old albums too, what to do with all those photographs; years of picture taking, kids, family members, campsites, road trips, events, Christmases, summer fun, snow, rain, swimming....on and on; photographs chronicling our lives. I have been working on putting together a history of our family; writing down stories… Continue reading PHOTOGRAPHS!!!
It looks like winter is finally over here in California. Temperatures are in the mid 70's, it is cloudy with lots of sunshine; and windy at times. Crazy when you consider all the snow and storms that are hitting the rest of the country. I have been buying new plants and potting them....and worrying about… Continue reading MARY, MARY, QUITE CONTRARY; HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?!
We are entering mid-April and it seems that most of the storms have passed. Temperatures are approaching the 70's and the sky is a deep blue. Beautiful! I have been busy potting and arranging pots and making things nice. I bought an electric fountain for the corner behind the front door. Love it! And I… Continue reading SUNSHINE! GARDENS AND PONDS!
