A good find

I purchased this mum last August is three different colors. They bloom up until the last front. The came back in May and have bloomed all summer. I'm going back to this shop to see if they have them for sale this year!

More poppies

I can't get enough of the poppies I purchased this year.

  I love that the same plants has different color blooms.

We all need our beauty sleep

This ice plant closes up at night.  I am finding more and more flowers that do close at night. I think they are just sleeping.  Maybe that's where the phrase 'beauty sleep' came from!

My hubby brought me home these raspberry carnations to plant.  They are really unique,

Another transplant

This is another transplant from Lucile's garden. I'm not sure what it's called but it looks like a big mound of irish clover. It blooms a beautiful delicate lavendar flower.

Sweet Memories

The beautiful flower was transplanted from my Mother-in Law's yard who passed away last November. I'm not sure what kind of flower it is, but she always called it a butterfly bush. So... a butterfly bush it is! It will always bring to me sweet memories of Lucile.

A sure sign of Spring!

I only have a few Crocus, but when they pop out of the ground I know Spring is near!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Today I am thankful for so many blessings and the people and family I have encountered in my life so far. The mums posted today were given to me the very 1st Sunday after we moved to Coweta County after visiting Cornerstone UMC sixteen years ago and they still bloom every fall. We stayed at that church for about twelve years before we found another church family. Pastor McEachern has moved on to a better place but we still have these mums to remind us how much he blessed our lives.
