With Love

My camera rocks. Look at the amazing photos, including the banner, that Tiny took in about 20 minutes. I sent her outside to complete an assignment and this is a small sampling of what she came in with.

Thanks be, to my wonderful husband who buys the plants, tubers, etc. And then plants them, cares for them and loves them. God's hand in these small things is glorious.

My Great-grandma Suazo would be 120 today. It seems like yesterday, that I was wishing her happy 100!

Beautiful Flowers

I got these Gi-normous orange sunflowers at Smith's yesterday.
Simply stunning.

Black eyed Susan Cookies and Flowers (link to recipe)
Probably my most favorite flower.

One of my all time most loved people in the world was Julia Jacob.
This is her most precious grand-daughter. This 9 month old is the daughter of another of one of my most favorite people.

Mia Shalom 2008

TUESDAY Night...
Okay if looks could kill I would be dead. My baby is madder than hell at me. I am documenting her life and this is the thanks I get? ( I guess she figured that I was going to blog this) Her team has just been eliminated from a state tourney. This means that she must go up to Young Women's camp tomorrow. ( one day late)




WEDNESDAY afternoon...
Up at Camp Mia Shalom at least Michelle Ellis is happy to see me.

To be fair, Tiny put on a good front about going to camp and did not complain. She vowed to try to be positive.
The wildflowers were so pretty. This one here..a penstemon, I think.

However, my favorites up at Mia Shalom are the coneflowers. They won't be in bloom until later in the month.





Back in the arid desert... from the daughter to camp delivery...Beverly Parsons has a gorgeous Delosperma in vivid bloom!!!
Back home

Jordan loves to comb the cat. And the cat loves to be combed... and vacuumed.





This is my favorite photo of the week. I caught this daring black capped chickadee stealing a peanut from a saucer of birdseed I have set out on my deck.How on earth will her hatchling eat this?
