Gardenias...

My husband bought me this bush when we first moved back to Raleigh in 2001. Every year it blooms 2 or 3 times during the summer and it looks like a ball of popcorn. The fragrance is wonderful...it reminds me of my mom who is with the Lord now...this was her favorite flower.

Have a blessed week...

Slivva of a NC Moon

This is what we in North Carolina call a "Slivva" of a moon! I hope you can see the beautiful star beside it (Venus?). I am a lover of the stars in the sky and a beautiful moon. Also, after a long day a work I came home to a wonderful husband who had planned a great dinner...wine & and a beautiful night sitting outside...actually dinner was the wine!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Carolina Blue Skies

Today ends a 3-day off period for me...back to work I go! Since these last few days have been so beautiful I have spent some of my time outside. Today's picture is of the blue skies in NC taken from my reading spot on our deck. It reminds me of Psalm 104 which is filled with praises of God's spendor and majesty.

Summer Blooms

Gerber daisies are one of my favorite flowers ever! This group is planted in a pot on our deck. When I first took this picture about 3 weeks ago this was the only bloom but now it has about 5 blooms of red and orange.

Mother's Day

My first post and it's a special day in my life. This is a picture of my "Mother's Day flowers". The gerber daisies are from my oldest daughter Kim. My husband, Bill, had this all set up when I came downstairs this morning. I am blessed with 3 wonderful children and I heard from all of them today. I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.
