LOVING MY LILACS & HONORING GRAND GRADUATES

I apologize for being so sporadic

in posting lately.

Working everyday puts me 

a little bit behind.

I wish it would GIVE me a 

little behind-but that's another story.

Our growing season is a 

LITTLE BEHIND

in Wisconsin this year.

My lilacs are finally in full bloom.

I don't know what kind they are

but they are highly scented.

A larger shot of the bush.

Aren't they just gorgeous?

There is another big bush next to that one.

I think it probably needs trimming

this Fall-pruned back a bit so it

produces more heavily.

Along the foundation under 

my bedroom window I have

Columbine blooming and

buds on the peonies.

I love the deep cornflower blue of the 

columbine.

I look around and talk to myself

a bit- Oh-How-Pretty!

Yep- I am pretty happy

except when I see this....

the picnic table we move from

area to area.
Right now it is under the trees...

Know what I say to myself about that?

OH! CRAP!

YUCK!!!

Hope YOU have a wonderful day...

as for me-this day is for the birds!

Next year these scenes will all belong

to my son and daughter-in-law.

It is kind of weird to think I won't be 

living here anymore....

but...such is life, right?!

I will tell you my son washed that table

and the patio set and all the seating

areas yesterday.  Good boy!!!

Kinda makes up for all the chores

he DIDN'T do as a kid....Kinda!!!!

Our Aleena had a

BIG GRADUATION PARTY

here yesterday.
She graduated from high school.

Isn't she a beauty?

I might be a tad biased....

I hope to get around to visit everyone

in the next couple of days.

Our Ria graduated from 
eighth grade and is off and running
towards high school....
where HAS the time gone?

I am so annoyed that 

BLOGGER has once again

changed the game...

Your comments no longer come through

to my email-which makes it much more

difficult to reply.

Just know that I do read and treasure

every one of your comments....

cuz I love you guys (or gals)..or....

Have a wonderful week!!!!!
