Welcome to my world!
What you'll see here is life ... Someones real life!
Maybe mine. Maybe yours.
But always...

Day 113...T.G.I.F.
Day 113
Friday's here and this time it really is my Friday!!! :)
Another day filled with added activities on top of work!
But I got it all accomplished, delivered and went to dinner at Rancho Grande with Mark and drank a "Kick Butt" Margarita (that's what I call their Margarita's)...but then again, I am pretty much a lightweight so I don't know...I just know I like 'em!!!
This is another one of those "the only photo I took" kinda days!

Day 112...Evening Daylily
Day 112
Thursday was another long day filled with work, (which I'm always grateful for,) errands, visiting Momma and another late evening arrival home...(sigh)
BUT, I did manage to get home right before dark, grab my camera and catch a shot of a Daylily that had not bloomed when I left this morning!
Day 111...Too Tired=No Effort
Day 111
As much as I hate to admit it...long work days are starting to get to me.
Today was one of those days (and it really wasn't THAT bad.) Home from work about 8pm, ate dinner, checked my email and remembered I had yet to take a photo for the day...I then also remembered that I'd left my camera in the car which meant I'd have to go get it...
(you know that's such a long walk to the garage...lol)
My trusty little PnS was sitting on my sewing table, so handy, so I took this picture of little Daisy, sleeping soundly as I crossed the hall to my room!
I climbed into bed and was as fast asleep as she in no time at all!
Day 110...Survivor
Day 110
Last Mother's Day someone in the family brought my mom a potted miniature rose bush. Maybe one of my kids or one of my siblings, I'm not really sure...Anyway, as time went by it began to suffer indoors and didn't look like much of anything so I asked my mom what she thought about me bringing it home to plant. She liked the idea!!! Some people told me it wouldn't make it because they are forced in greenhouses to produce flowers and not intended to plant and others told me that it would make it just fine...Well, it did!!! It looks a bit scraggly as a whole right now. I need to get a trellis for it. I thought it would be more of a bush but some of the flower stems are longer and laying on the ground like they need support...I thought this one looked just PERFECT!
A little survivor!
Day 109...Hidden Treasures
Day 109
As my day went by today I suddenly realized about noon that I had no photo taken and would soon be under the influence of Valium, once again,
to help me make it through another MRI.
Me, under the influence, wobbly, camera in hand...uh, not a good combo...
So, before leaving the house to pick up my prescription, Alia and I went on a little backyard hunt for flowers to shoot...something new!
She soon hollered to me that she'd found one! "A pink one, GiGi!"
Sure enough, back along the fence line one of my sad little Peonies that no longer get the light they need had found it's way through some brush and was peeking out! I'm sure many, many years ago when the original owner planted the Peonies there was ample sunlight. Now there's just so many trees and shrubs to block the light.

Last year was the first time I've seen the Spiderwort produce a white bloom. So far it's only these two little flowers. I'd actually forgotten about them until they just bloomed again. Last year I'd thought that maybe it was a fluke. I hope I get more. I love the combination of the two different colors together... :)
