The Place I Call Home

Turbon Lily
Kenny found one bulb, while deer hunting.Brought it home
and  took such great care of it.. It has multiplied  and now
there are 8 plants.. They bring us such beauty to look at.

Flowers are blooming.. All the wonderful rain and cool summer
have been great..

This is what I call- Home!!!

The red bench, is a  nice little seat...Just to take a seat,
and look around !!!

These lilies are blooming around the bird bath too.
The lonely play center,, seems to be calling some
sweet little kids to come play..[How sad, that my grandkids
have outgrown it. But, when Papa built it for them, quiet
a few years ago, they loved it..]

Kitchen got a small facelift....New counter tops, and  a new floor..

 PS-- SEWING  NEWS
I   have sewed /embroidered some during the month of July,
 however, have not posted any thing.. I have had internet
 problems ,all month. Hopefully , it is fixed now, and I will get
 some things posted..

 

Daffodils/Thrift Store Pitcher and a Sweet Hubby

              Tomorrow is our 42nd Anniversary... Wow...How  the time has flown!!!
              We are so blessed...We have two lovely children and 5 grandchildren              
              and one step grandson.

               No Girls---- I am not that old [hahahahaha].. We just married , really
               young... Kenny was 19 and I was 17 1/2.


             We are leaving out in the morning,  Kenny has a doctors appointment..
             [3 hours away] And we are going  to stay a  few days..  Maybe find
             a few thrift stores.?? Just a little get away.

                                   Now...I will get to the Title of this Post!!!

                 Kenny is so sweet... A couple of weeks ago, [I am just now
                 taking the time to post. sorry] he went to the camp house, He
                knows that daffodils are my favorite flowers.. They just say
               spring..  Anyway, when he came home, he had a handful of
               pretty daffodils.. [After 42 yrs of marriage.. this is pretty nice!!]

               I found this cute little pitcher at a thrift store.. Just perfect for my
               sweet present..

How Sweet is Kenny

Old Ball Canning Jar
 

Doesn't this look like a handful of wild flowers
from   a sweet little girl?

 Kenny is so thoughtful, He was out at his deer camp house, it
has some old sheds on it. and he was cleaning one out, when
he found this dirty old canning jar. He knew I would see the
beauty in it. And I did!!  I had been sick for a while, and was
house bound [no fabric stores was visited..oooh this was bad,ha].
 He brought  it home to me, I cleaned it and oh how pretty..
I have seen lots of old canning jars, but this one, had a  funny
shape to it..
  I told Kenny, all I needed was for a little girl to bring me
a handful of wild flowers.His reply,"I think Cindy[our grown
daughter] is a little  too old for that!"  So, I did the next best
 thing ,I went to my stash of artificial flowers,and gave myself
 a handful of flowers.. And I added a tiny little bird  to the flowers..
  How sweet...to have such a thoughtful husband. The little things
are what counts!!!!

Last Rose of the Summer

I sure hate to see summer end.. I really love fall, but it seems to go by so quickly.   We have been having lots of frost,  and all the flowers are gone..  Kenny came in  and brought me this pink rose ,  off of our rose bush.. [how sweet!].  I stuck in  a vase with some  holly greenery.. for a wonderful bouquet .  The last of  our summer flowers..   I will just look forward to   spring returning.

Holly Berries are Turning Red

 I love holly bushes.  The beautiful green waxy leaves  with the vibrant red berries. Oh how pretty!!
 When we built our house  , I planted this holly bush.  I wanted   to have one,  so that when Christmas came,   I would have the beautiful greenery & berries  to decorate  with.  When I see the berries starting to turn red, I know that winter & Christmas  are not far away..
