June 2022

The volunteer petunias are outshining the alabama sunset coleus so far.

Mark and Kyle with a good fire going.  Skye was happy :)

We had to say goodbye to Walker.  He was feeling so bad.  He's a great cat, I know he's having a great time hunting in the garden on the other side.  And he sent  this cute little Annie girl right away!

Mama got thru her surgery.  We're glad that's over for her!

No pictures of mama's garden?  I don't know how that didn't happen.  Here's Powers Pond.

And now we're thru June--half of 2022 already gone.  Wonder what July will bring?

Lifting the Quarantine

We've been able to see Betsy and Kyle and Rachel again!  We have missed them so much.  This virus is still with us, but things are opening back up and the very best thing is getting to see the kids.  We wish Oceanna and Isaac and Jen were closer, we'd be visiting them too!

Teeth!

They all look so happy!  We're blessed and thankful that we're all healthy and have been able to ride out the virus without being infected so far.  And I got to go see mama for her 85th birthday too!  We had already missed one planned visit due to the virus precautions, so it was extra special to be able to visit.  We had a great time.

PJ's garden

Happy 85th!

Mama reading in PJ's back yard.  I love her tri-colored beech tree, it looks like it's in bloom all the time.

and PJ helping

Wearing the mask is not very fun, but mama has made some really cute ones and if they help us get out in the world again, we're all for the masks.

Another scene from our stay-at-home days.  Zoom meetings!

It's not easy to get Kyle to smile for a picture!  I love this one of he and Rachel. 

Michigan Trip

For the past few years, I've been going to see my mama on her birthday.  She looks beautiful here with her Monroe bakery birthday cake!  We always have a great time.

These are a few pictures from PJ's garden, where she has a fab new shed, built by Jeff.

Jeff fashioned the blue garden light from a garage sale find.  I want one of these too!

And I always mean to bring back some hens and chickens, but I forgot again!  Oh, well, there's always next year.  Looking forward to it already :)
