Bows!

Here are some bows I made today for my darling daughter. I ran out of ribbon for a second hot pink with polka dots so off to the store tomorrow I go. It is my favorite one! They look better in person and on her head. The camera does them no justice!

Summer Fun!

This is JJ thinking about what kind of neat trick he might do next coming down the slide. He always taps his chin when he is "thinking."

Maddie got smart and sat in the shaded garage drinking her cool drink. She detests wet bathings suits so it came off shortly after getting in the pool! It reached 94 degrees here today! Wednesday's forecast is 102.

Calla Lilies

These are about one of my absolute favorite flowers! My neighbor brought me these tonight from her garden! I love them!

Flower Arranging

Apparently the base library holds free classes for different things throughout the year. A friend called last night and invited me to what I thought was a gardening class...at least that is how it was described to me. I arrived to find it a flower arranging class. I kind of groaned at first because I would much prefer to dig in the dirt than play with cut flowers. Much to my surprise, it was a lot of fun and educational! Here is my beautiful bouquet:

What did I learn, you ask? Always start with the greenery and then add your flowers. If you receive a bouquet of roses or any flower for that matter, you aren't suppose to use all of the little packet that comes with it. Use only a third to a half. You should change the water 3 times in 2 weeks and if you have roses they should last that long. And always trim the stems at each water change.

Sooooo Sweeeet!!!!!
