The Long Weekend

Our long weekend was filled with...

crops from our garden

pictures of my little niece in the daisy patch out back

baby bunnies (from our yard!)

pictures of flowers

monopoly and finger puppets

time together

and an impressive fireworks display

What did you do for the fourth?

What did you do for the fourth?

A Green Thumb... possibly?

Now I am no gardener, but the last few weeks have me wondering. Three (count them, three!) of my plants are blooming as I type this. Two are African violets in my kitchen window,

and the third is my miracle plant from Luke. Actually it is a mum that he bought last Easter. I, in my typical black thumb fashion, watered it one day and then forgot about it, which led to root rot. Well, I determinedly spent the last eight months nursing that darn plant back to health. And now, as you can see, it is blooming with lovely purple flowers. 

So yes, that's three successful plants. Score!

Tray Chic!

This picture tray was a wedding gift off of our registry almost two and a half years ago. Although we've used the tray since we got it, I have never taken the time to put any pictures into the openings. This is ironic because the reason I liked the tray was the fact that you could customize it with your own photos. Unfortunately, it sat like this for about two years. 

Thankfully, I finally got my act together and got a few pictures printed for this purpose. I used pictures from the flowers at the Arboretum, some water lilies from the Conservatory in Central Park, and a Queen Anne's Lace from our backyard. I love how it turned out, and it is just so pretty!
