Wordless Wednesday: It’s That Hot

Sent from a friend. Thought ya’ll would enjoy the funny.

Wordless Wednesdays: Botanical Gardens, Chicago

Just some random shots from our visit to the Botanical Gardens in Chicago, IL. It’s been almost 22 years since we’ve been there. I’d forgotten how beautiful it is.

Wordless Wednesdays: Bridges

Bridges can be crossed

burned

faced

and feared.

What comes to mind when you think of bridges?

Wordless Wednesday: Time Flies

7 Years ago

 

This would be some of our youth seven years ago at Hillbilly Golf. Charlie (my son) is on the far right.

This would be my son…. Today…

Charlie Now..

 

So tell me… When did I blink?

Wordless Wednesday: where there is smoke, someone forgot to check the oven.

 

This was my popcorn bowl. Now it looks like a clam. The culprit? My oven. I was in a hurry and put some bowls inside of it for “safe keeping.”  Plastic popcorn bowls are not forgiving of forgetful women like me and 400 degree ovens. They also make a lot of smoke. Did you know that if you open the oven door you let in oxygen and not only will you have smoke, you’ll now have flames.

Have you ever done something like that?

Wordless Wednesday: I’m Speachless

Who names these dorms?

Gotta love it when they name the buildings after donors. Granted, it does not help the confidence factor when it is the Freshman dorm for college.

Wordless Wednesday: Dreams of Summer

I’m dreaming of the sights of Summer. My gardens are dead now. Some of my perennials will come back though, the rest I’ll have to plant and I can’t wait. Until then, I’ll offer you sights from summer past.

Hollyhocks

Daylillies

Unruly sweet potato vine mixed with coleus.

And purple fountain grass.

Wordless Wednesdays:Remembering my Gardens

Remembering my Gardens

I wasn’t going to garden this year seeing as I killed everything last year. But the catalogues started arriving. They had pictures and promises of daisies, flowering bushes, baskets overflowing with forget-me-nots and other sundries. I started sorting photographs for scrap booking and I came across my garden pictures. My gardens may be dead, but they were pretty while they lasted. Pray for my husband ya’ll. The gardening itch is back. I cannot wait to get out there, clean up the horticultural cemetery I call a garden, see what survived and start again.

Wordless Wednesdays Miss me Yet?
