Wow how the time is flying! We are now into the last month of the first half of this year. Scary! I feel like I can hardly keep up and am in slow motion while the rest of the world is normal
Hope all Americans had a great Memorial Weekend. Mostly it rained on and off for us and is still doing that. Elmer and I went over to help son and daughter start a landscaping project in their back yard. Did not get very far, but even for those few hours felt we accomplished quite a bit between us all. Me I would just love to keep going at it and get it done, but between them working and the rain, it is on hold for a while, until we can co-ordinate it all again. I am very excited at what they want to do and just get so impatient that we cannot get to it and finish at least the first section. I have quite a few reseeded plants and some that need to be split to share with her, but nothing can happen till at least one bed is ready. I did take one day and made a date with other daughter to come and help her clean up her front beds and shared some of these plants with her too – it does look good, even if it will be a while before they are all in full size and bloom. But Oh – am I stiff from working like that after a winter of ease!
It would have been great if I could have kept that kind of activity up for more days, then I would not have stiffened up so much, but our own garden is not in need of such extensive work any more and it takes a very little bit of our time to just keep the weeds down as we are out there almost every day (weather permitting) checking and pulling the small areas we do have flowers in.
I have been picking some of the flowers to put into the house. These are from our one and only rose bush that is left. At least we got to enjoy them for quite a while, as the rest are being battered outside.
I have now put together an album of all the flowers that I have photographed for this spring. Here is the link for you to look at what I have

Graduations are now going on – we went to the first of our Granddaughter’s last week.
Congratulations Crystal – we are all so very proud of you and wish you well in the next phase of your life.

Beautiful flowers, come see me when you can, Judi
Flowers are gifts of nature….graduations and congratulations this time of year
hope you and Elmer are doing well 
Good to see a post from you. Love the bush!
Yardwork…I have so much to do. Would you and Elmer consider coming down here to help me, too? I guess that would be a tad too far. I love all your flower pictures. Now that I have my Xanga reading time back, I checked your other posts. Mother’s Day BBQ looked like a good time, and I don’t know what is with that squirrel either. I’m glad your teeth situation is progressing well.
