This whole flower bed is lilies. There are different kinds and colors. All of these were here when we bought the house. It was like christmas in spring the first year because we hadnt a clue what was coming up in the gardens!
I have lots of Forget me nots! They are everywhere and spread more every year. I think they are a pretty little flower. We let them bloom and seed and then we just mow over them the rest of the summer!
Then my favorite is these little violets. I had just a small bunch and that has spread this year too. I also discovered some under a tree this year so I may move them. I took this last weekend and there was one flower.....no there are dozens!
We were outside almost all day Saturday. And of course Chance and Pearse were with us. Pearse doesnt lay around much for a picture but Chance was chewing a stick and I got this one of him. He is soooo beautiful! Just waiting for that lovely thick coat to start shedding!
I hope everyone is having a good week! Dont forget my giveaway! You have a couple more days to sign up. Good luck everyone.Also thank you all for the prayers for my brother. He is still in hospital for at least another week. He has a number of health problems relating to his alcoholism, but right now the issue is an unrelated blood clot. They are calling it a massive blood clot and it is in his arm,shoulder and neck. Very close to all the vital organs. They are treating it with blood thinners unsuccessfully so far. There isnt anything to do but pray as we have tried for years to help him. Regardless of his faults and habits he is still my baby brother and I do pray God finally reaches his heart and he can be saved both spiritually and physically.
Hugs to you all!
Hi Holli - well it's that time of year and we're all in our yards it seems.
ReplyDeleteYour Peonies will be beautiful...I guess if memory serves me they normally are out in bloom by Memorial weekend. I love the pink ones.
Oh Chance is a beautiful dog...our son/wife have two like Chance....and they are just the sweetest.
I'll continue to pray for your brother....bless you all.
Hugs, Karen
Prayers are headed from me to your brother. Also I love the garden and the lovely pup! Aw....
ReplyDeleteHELLO HOLLI.. ISN'T IT LOVELY THAT WE CAN SPEND THE DAYS OUTSIDE? PRAYING FOR YOUR BROTHER THAT GOD WILL DO A WORK IN HIS LIFE IN BOTH HEALING AND SOUL..
ReplyDeleteBLESSINGS..
Holli, I chatted with you a little while on the Prim Pals forum... nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteYour forget me nots are beautiful! I love them. I'm sure that's what my husband would do too. I tell him not to mow over my yellow flowers (dandelions.. hehe!) but he does anyway. Everything will be so pretty when it blooms out.
Chance is a beautiful dog! Sorry to hear about your brother. I'm thankful that you have a relationship with God so you can lean on Him in this difficult time. I'll be praying for him and for your family.
Hi Sis!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look good. Our peonies are blooming... unfortunately they are all white but the smell wonderful. Wendell picked two and put them in a vase for me and every time I walk past them I enjoy the sweet smell.
Richard is still in my prayers. I hope you all get good news soon. Hopefully this will be what wakes him up.
*hugs*
Debbie
I never had a brother, or sister come to that.
ReplyDeleteBut I do have kids.... and realise that there is a bond between them that I will never experience. good thoughts for your brother.
