Shade Lovers

I just love this time of year. It's so much fun to see everything bursting into bloom. It's also fun to see what I planted the year before that I may have forgotten. I also like to see what the birds have planted for me or what plants may have re-seeded. Here are a couple of my favorites. Even though we need rain really bad, these two are looking really healthy.

Wow!!!

Look at these two handsome devils!! This is Nicky (yes, my nephew, on the left) and his friend Garrett. Their prom isn't until Friday but they "suited up" and came over so I could be an obnoxious, picture taking auntie. I happily obliged. Look out girls!!

The picture below is taken from Alex's view.

Itty, bitty baby bunnies!

Check this out!! I was out spraying for dandelions last night and came across these sweet little things. Aren't they just delicious!! The only bad thing.....I think I sprayed one of them. I hope they're ok. Do you think they could suffer some deformity at my hands? Do you think the next time I spot the one I sprayed it will have a thumb growing out of it's head or something? I sure hope not because they are exquisite just the way they are. All together now.... awwwwwwwww.

Gifts Galore!!

Well, last night came and went and I never got around to posting the pictures of the beautiful gifts that Carly and Alex gave me. The picture above is of the gorgeous picture frames that they made at Springvale (Our home away from home from May through September.). Alex went up to the lodge (me and Carly were at WalMart) and made his and the kind, thoughtful Springvale Gang gave him extra supplies so that Carly could make one later (I helped her with it tonight.). The orange tie-dye in the background is the Springvale shirt that they gave me. The picture below is of the cool sun catcher ( I just LOVE these things.) that Alex made at preschool. That came with a card (sorry, no picture) with his handprint on the front (I LOVE any art with their handprints!) and a sweet poem on the inside.

So, later this week, I will try to fill you in on a few things since I haven't been blogging much. I have Stamp Club in a few minutes so gotta go. TTYL. ;)

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

I hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day. Here's a picture of me and my Mom, Judie. We had a really nice brunch over at her house today. Now I'm gonna go and lay in bed with Alex and watch Little Bear (Carly's not a big Little Bear fan.). Later tonight I hope to post a picture of the beautiful gifts that my children gave me. There really is nothing like a gift made by your children!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Extra hugs ~ Laura
