God's Blessings

Yesterday I was out on the deck, I spotted this little squirrel running around the tree! When he spotted us, he froze in this position! Funny.............

I had been down stairs stretching and exercising, so I thought we'd step out and see what was blooming in our backyard!! Here is that bush I showed you earlier. Still not sure what it is, only that it's pretty and smells so sweet!!!

I only had my cell phone with me so took these photos with it! I was so excited to see all these volunteer pansies. They are so pretty!

Remember last year, when we had these gorgeous hanging baskets?? Well, they dropped lots of seeds I guess as that is where my volunteer ones came from..smile...

 Isn't it surprising how they just flourish in among the rocks??

 



 Their just everywhere...

I also noticed our yucca plant will have blooms on it this year! They are so pretty. Do you have one? Once it starts to bloom, I hope to get out there with my 'camera' and photograph it!!

 

Hope you're looking forward to a nice weekend!! I'd appreciate some prayers or good vibes that our weather stays good tomorrow. We're having our South Bottom's reunion dinner tomorrow night...than a potluck dinner Sunday!!! Their saying rain and storms..sad..

The Ups and Downs of Life

 

This is most definitely an "up"! Tom spotted this Northern Flicker at the bird feeder and bath, today. They really are a pretty bird. (Tom needs to put a few pennies in the bird bath. Did you know that keeps the algae under control??) 

 

This is most definitely an UP...smile.. Yesterday I looked out our window and spotted something 'yellow'.. (you know me and yellow!) Oh my gosh, I was so excited! We went down and I had to go outside to check them out. Look, aren't these little pansies adorable? They are all volunteer.

 

I know you can't really see them...but there are so many of them, in among the rocks. Remember the basket of pansies I had hanging there last year? These are from them.

 

Aww look...they are blooming everywhere! This has to be a gift from God!!

Now this is the DOWN. We went out to get a bite to eat today, and were heading home...and BANG! A lady pulled out and hit us. It was a long day, waiting for the police. Finally they came and gave the lady a ticket for running a stop sign. Ugggg.. My shoulders and back are sore tonight. I hope it will be better tomorrow.

 

I hope you're having an UP week.
