Out of town

Hi, I'm out of town at some training this week. I'm getting around to blogs as I can. Just wanted to say that I'm around. Kind of.

A few garden pics

Here are some pictures that I recently took of the garden.

My first try with zinnias.


Danielle, I know you weren't thrilled when you ended up as a canna in that flower quiz. But, I think they're beautiful.


Some begonia shots.








And a long view of the back garden.


Some of these look really gorgeous in the large size. You can always click on the picture, and choose All Sizes.

New arrival!

One of my blog sisters just became a Nana today! Please go check out the pictures and say hi.

What number are you?

Here's one I found at Sometimes Saintly Nick's place. I believe this comes from the Enneagram. My aunt introduced me to this a number of years ago.

Then, when I took this simple little test it came up with the same number for me that we'd figured out. It's fun, you should try it.

You Are 2: The Helper

I found this quiz through Courtney's site.

Some flowers I've visited lately

These aren't from my yard. I will be posting those one of these days. But I just felt like putting these up.

These are mostly sunflowers, but they were either so pretty or different, I just couldn't help myself.





This one was a touch blurry, but I really liked these flowers. Even though these were all taken on a cloudy day, this one's a bit darker because I was trying sharpen up the blur.


You can't really tell from this picture, but this one was quite large and very tall.


I particularly like this one as it looks like the bottom flower is being tickled by the bee.


And for a nice, subtle finish.
