Sunset from our backyard.

Window Views - Yard 5/27

Raindrops on the window this week - maybe all the rain will make my petunias in the white pot grow big enough to be seen next week!

Window Views - Looking Out - Looking In

I don't know about you, but I am ready to see a little color here! Not much new this week - I did get the flower pot and the bird feeder structure (except for the very top) painted.

Previous weeks -

Now, if you were to walk up to the window on the left and peek in, this is what you would see through the screen today. My orchid cactus in full of blooms and the huge fuschia colored flowers seem to be opening before my eyes.

Mellow Yellow - Ruby Tuesday Tulips

Photos were taken at the Tulip Festival - Holland, Michigan

Shadow Shot MOOOO

Don't you just love it when you just happen upon a great shot for a particular meme??? While looking for some pics I come across this one taken last summer when the neighbors cows got out. Those "3" cows were running down the road and I'm sure they were thinking ESCAPE...ESCAPE!! Happy SSS!!!

Post Card - Stamp People

Purple Photo Passion -Quilt

I just discovered a new meme....a PURPLE meme....and I LOVE the color purple!! So I immediately grabbed my camera to shoot something purple. Here is a picture of my quilts....

and a close-up of my purple quilt. I think this quilt is beautiful. It was made by my cousin and given to us as a wedding gift a few years before she died....it is very special to me.

Window Views - Yard 5/13

Shot was taken a little lower this week, so we can see the fountain/birdbath. We now have our Hummingbird feeders up - the Hummingbirds returned last weekend. (We saw an Oriole at the feeder today!) Hubby moved the chairs and the swans feeder. He also added dirt to fill in some tracks in the yard. The flower pot holds a Canna that got nipped by the frost.

Window Views - Yard 5/06

Not many changes during this past week. The phlox in the bottom right corner are growing - the yard has dried up quite a bit, the grass near the pond is brown from being under water - and a couple of chairs have appeared in the yard.

Last week

Ruby Tuesday Amaryllis

My Amaryllis produced LOTS of flowers on some very tall stems - just in time for this weeks Ruby Tuesday.
