Liriope

This little plant, Liriope, is growing on our front porch and doing well. The plant doesn't get any sun but seems to prefer the shade. We have a guest also. Look at the close-up view of the plant in the lower left hand corner to see the guest. Charming, isn't he?

Birthday cards

Recently I had a birthday. My sweet hubby and I long ago started regiving cards that we've given each other through the years. This recent birthday he gave me some that I received from him before we got married. The card with the little blue flowers is the earliest one from 1966. We were just beginning to date in high school. The pink card is the second one he gave me. We just celebrated our 40th anniversary. The little pink note you see was with the early birthday card and is so sweet. Happy memories.

Landscaping view

This is how we look from across the street. It is in the morning sun, the sprinklers are going, and I think we finally have the landscaping right. Home sweet home!

New picture of Hyacinth Bean Plant

This is a new picture of the Hyacinth Bean Plant taken this week (July 20, 2011). It really did grow like "Jack and the Bean Stalk".

Hyacinth Bean plant

This is a Hyacinth Bean plant. I planted it out by our mailbox and it is doing very well. It is an annual. You have to soak the seeds overnight before you plant them, but it takes off like "Jack and the Bean Stalk" fame.

Happy Birthday America

This is my own design of a patriotic quilt. It also has some summer theme items going on in it as well. Double duty, don't you think?

Is it the 4th yet?

Is it the 4th of July yet? I am ready with all my patriotic quilts out. Here is another one I love. Simple, yet catches the eye.

Wave any flag

It's almost the 4th of July. Get out there and put up any flag to show how much you love our country!
