MAGIC

Magic Lily.

Just want to share these photos

of a few magic lilies.

I have lots and lots of them

in my yard and by my pond.

These photos really don't do them justice...

they are just magically bautiful!

Do you have any magic in your yard?

GRANDDAUGHTER'S VISIT

Last week my granddaughter, Shayna,

spent several days with me

before leaving for the beach on Saturday.

It had been a long time since she was here for a stay,

so I really enjoyed having her.

She is a typical teenager, staying up late at night,

and sleeping until afternoon.
One day she tried giving Huey

a very much needed bath…..
but he wanted out of that tub!

We treated her to a Husson's pizza one night,

and went to Captain D's another.

We made a craft that I had picked up at a yard sale.

We painted butterflies red, white and blue,

and decorated the garage and storage building.
John made a birdhouse out of an old mailbox and
we painted it and put it on the garage….
notice the “AIR MAIL”….an idea we got when we
saw one that someone else had made.

One evening we hiked on the hill to see where the
old coal mines had been drained and sealed up….
You can see in the pic below how Shayna
stayed way ahead of us.

When it was time to take her home on Thursday,

I got a little sad....or, I should say a lot sad.

I didn’t take a lot of pictures, shame on me.
But I will share what I did take.

Hope you enjoyed my pics.

A WALK AROUND THE YARD

Just wanted to share a few of the things
that I see as I walk around the yard.

The Rose of Sharon bushes are in full bloom.
The Ornamental Grass is growing bigger.
The Touch-Me-Nots are also blooming.
The Hibichus are blooming.
The Chestnuts are starting to grow.

I enjoy walking around the yard when I take
my little dogie out each day.
I like exploring the new growth
of the flowers and trees.
What do you see when you walk around the yard?

Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
Job 37:14

GORGEOUS

GORGEOUS: Very beautiful; splendid; magnficient

I had the privilege of going fishing late yesterday afternoon...

staying late into the evening.

I just had to share with you the sunset.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament showeth His handywork.

Psalm 97:6

I cannot view such beauty without my heart

filling with praise to God.

From the rising of the sun

unto the going down of the same

the LORD'S name is to be praised.

Psalm 113:3

I hope you enjoyed my pictures of a gorgeous sunset.

PLAYING CATCH UP

My daughters and sister keep pointing out that

I haven’t posted for a long time…..so……

I thought I’d let you know I’m still here.

I’ve been visiting your blogs….

even leaving an occasional comment….

just haven’t been inspired to post.

I will try to catch you up on things and

post some pictures I’ve taken.

I stopped going to Weight Watcher’s

meetings…no transportation….

but still stick to the plan….most of

the time….still losing weight…slowly.

I made reservations for our October

vacation at Black Bear Resort, in

Canaan Valley, WV.

Had a doctor visit…A1c is great

I visited a couple cemeteries with my sister.

I babysat my granddaughter a couple of days.

I went to our family reunion.


I got my hair cut and ears pierced.

I planted some flowers.



I also sit on the porch and watch the birds...
and whatever other creature might come by...
and smell the chestnut blooms....ooooh!
And there is where I read.

I’m still having my night time visitor…

I have a new addition to my angel collection…

another gift from my cousin, Vera.

Isn’t she sweet! (Vera and the angel)

She is also a candle holder.

I caught this couple during a “private” moment.

Those are a few things
that have been happening with me.

I'll try not to get behind on posting again.....hopefully.
