Pretty Day!!

Mother's Day...

was Such a Pretty Day, here.

<3

Asked Helper, Brandon...

last week, if he could come mow... on Sunday.

Completely forgot Sunday was Mother's Day, when I asked him.

When I didn't here from him, Sunday morning, realized then...

he was probably going to spend the day with his Mom.

; )

<3

but...

Brandon called, near Noon, asked if I still wanted him to mow.

He was going to spend time with is Mom, later... in the afternoon.

: )

When Brandon arrived, he had the Rose... above for me.

: )

He's Such a Good Kid!!

; )

The little Heart, on the table... was a gift, from Pal, Mary Sellon.

{Dark Horse Antiques}

<3

I've left it right where Mary set it, several years ago.

Mary... passed away, shortly after that visit.

: (

I... think of Mary, so often.

<3

The little concrete Girl, was a gift, from Pal, Donita.

<3

{Whispering Pines Ornamental Concrete. Monticello, Iowa.}

Donita brought her to me, when I was recuperating from 'The Fall' down the basement stairs, several years ago.

<3

Think of Donita... when I look at her.

<3

{and... Peg. <3

 Our Peg... would've Loved That Little Girl, Too!! : ) <3 }

Donita, and her Husband, Charlie... are Wonderful Folks!!

Check out Their Amazing Place!!

; )

Spent the Day... Dancin' with Mr. DeWalt, and the Loppers.

Diggin' through tarps, for tents... 

{Memorial Day Weekend... Is Comin' Fast!!YIKES!!!}

Worked on Fountains... ran to the Home and Garden Center...

to get parts for a fountain's pump.

GADS!!!

NOT a Place to Be... on Mother's Day!!

Holy Smokes!!

What a ZOO!!

Eeeeeek!!

; )

Yesterday was Toasty...

Hot, actually... when you're Workin'!!

This mornin' is Much Cooler, a little rainy, but...

BEAUTIFUL!!

: )

Captured the above, and below... images, of the Miniature Lilac, I'd planted 20 years ago, or so,

this mornin'.

: )

One of the Best Friends, of my life...

gave it to me... on my birthday, about 20 years ago.

<3

Geri.

<3 <3 <3 

She made me her Famous Jell-O Cake, for my birthday, every year.

: ) <3

That year, Geri gave me the Miniature Lilac, too.

<3

I...thought, it was a miniature 'bush'...

and it wouldn't get very big, so...

planted it beside the door of The Hen House.

; )

Oooooooops!!!

: )

The 'Lilacs'... are 'miniature',

{Their Amazing 'Scent' is Not!!  Wow...!!

They Smell Incredible This Morning after the early morning's gentle shower!!}

The 'Bush'... well, 

It's Not 'Miniature'... anymore!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!

: )

I think of Geri, every time my eyes land on it.

<3

What a Wonderful Soul, 'Friend'... Geri was.

Miss Her!!
