Remembering Our Mother on Mother’s Day

Monday, May 31, 2010

Thanks to Phil and Sherry who each Mothers day make sure flowers are ordered and I usually pick them up and bring them to Mom and Dad’s grave stone.  Sorry I am so late with these but it has been a busy spring.  There are not many weeks that go by that I don’t think about Mom and Dad and the great times we had together.  Sometimes just driving by and seeing a “berry’s for sale” sign will make me think of Mom and Dad and bring a tear to my eye.  They say as time goes by it gets easier, but as we get older I think I miss them both more now then ever.  Love You Mom & Dad

God’s Beautiful Creation Springs Anew Again

Monday, May 3, 2010

I just love this time of the year when many of the flowers burst forth with the colors God gave them, and the temperatures are still cool and not muggy yet.  I took a walk out in the yard and just started snapping some pictures of God’s beautiful creation bursting forth with new life once again.

I also took some pictures of one of my Apple trees in full bloom, can’t wait to make apple sauce this fall again.

And I took a couple of pictures of my favorite vegetable, asparagus and then also one of Dad’s favorites, Rhubarb.

And my raspberry plants showing life and in  a few weeks we will be picking them.

Even my Peach tree I planted last fall which looked like a stick is springing forth with new growth.

So for now…

Happy Spring
