Rainy Days In June!!

I love rainy days!  Lifts my spirits and a good excuse to just stay in and read a good book. Reading "In A Heartbeat" by Sally John, one of those "you can't put it down" books. Really stresses the importance of living in the present knowing we are not guaranteed tomorrow and trusting God with the future.
So blessed, got to spend some time with little Remington this morning!  What a precious little guy he is!

Mowing Done, Time To Relax!

Got my two acres mowed this morning to beat the heat, and now the fun time, editing pics that I have taken the last few days of flowers that are coming along in the flowerbeds.  I've been playing with my camera settings on blurring the backgrounds and trying to get more definition.  Still need to do more work on that!!  Trying to control camera shake especially on the closeups.

Busy, Busy, Fun Weekend!

Just had a super busy, but fun & exciting holiday weekend! Here are a few highlights starting Thursday evening with sweet little Winston's 2nd birthday party!
Getting ready to blow out the candles on his dump truck dirt cake!

Now moving on to the fun part, the presents!!
Saturday morning off to the big town of Ames, Oklahoma for a Root family reunion on Bob's side of the family.


The excitement started Friday evening with the earlier than expected arrival of little Remington Dave Wimer.  This is Saturday evening and big brothers are meeting him for the first time!!

Saturday evening, Winston checking out baby brother!

Moving on to Sunday evening and a Penner family reunion at Walnut Lake over by Ringwood, Oklahoma.  This is beautiful niece, Deanne, her little son, Cole, and sweet little Paityn, my great niece, Katie's little girl.

Little Eli & Noah, my sister, Joy's great grandson's!  Precious mischievious little twin boys!!

Enjoying that homemade ice cream!! 

Son, Scott & grandson, Kyler.

Niece & her husband, Kara & Dennis.

Well, we've made it to Monday, Memorial Day service this morning, then, whew, catching up at home.  This is the windbreak for my flowerbeds that Bob nearly got finished this afternoon.

And last but not least did get some time in to do one of my favorite things take some pics of the flowers!

Double Cosmos

The whiskey barrel flowers are getting there!  They actually like the hot weather we've had.

I am so glad that I got this pic.  My first lily to bloom.  I took this yesterday morning, then the hurricane winds moved in, and by evening it had only one petal left on it, one of the reasons for the windbreak fence!

Just Out & About

Wow, hard to believe that harvest came so early this year, and the Lord has blessed the farmers with a bountiful harvest and perfect weather to bring it in!  It seems as if this whole year so far has been topsy turvy.  Makes you wonder what's next! I love all the the colors and sights of spring and early summer, and am taking lots of pics, so I can look back at this in July!
