Hosta
Hosta works nicely in our yard because there is so much shade on the north side of the house and in the woodsy area behind us. During the early summer the flowers are quite pretty.

Treasure Your Life and Friendships

She was the wife of one of Cerwin’s childhood friends. Ruth Martin died suddenly on May 23. She was a former staff friend through TFC. Lois […]
Rain!
~~~ Monday, June 12 4:16 pm ~~~ Notice the date. This is about a week and a half ago. At this time in June the ground in our area was very dry, so this sky and the weather forecast gave us hope for rain. Then it came. Oh, the beautiful sound of rain. It came […]

Our Yucca Plants
I took a series of pictures during the growth of our yucca plant and flowers. This was back on May 25 when the four tall stalks looked like very large asparagus. June 5 after the stalks were separating into flower stems. By June 10 Cerwin needed to wrap ropes around them so they would stay […]
Family Reunion

Coral Bells
~~~ Saturday, June 10 ~~~ I don’t do a great job of remembering names of some of our perennials, so I determined to find the name of this ground cover plant which is next to our house – at the bottom of our patio steps. I Googled – perennial with purple/green leaves and spikey stems […]

Babysitting Great Grandchildren
They were only here for a couple of hours while Abby and Renee went to an appointment. I wanted to get a photo of them before they went home. It appears that the sun was a problem for all three of them – Natalie, Jasmine and Anthony. Abby had just returned, so I didn’t try […]

Our “Hens and Chicks” Are Beautiful This Year
I searched online to learn more about this succulent to see why the “Hens and Chicks” get long flower stalks. If I understand correctly, these are mature mother/hen plants that grow tall and have a beautiful flower display. We usually have one each summer, but this year there are three. They will eventually wither and […]
Twin Kiss for Lunch with Jesse
