Beautiful Blooms

My Margo Hydrangea that sits on my little brick patio. Small blooms but proliferate for a "contained" hydrangea. Hoepfully, I will be moving Margo to her new home in North Carolina soon.

Small Pleasures

Funny how a single little clematis bloom can make you smile.

Moving Days

Last weekend Ron and I spent several days with Jennifer (while Rob was out of town) helping her move more items from the old homeplace to the new homeplace. They have a lovely house that they are turning in a warm and beautiful home for three little boys. One day, I took Gantt with me to give Jennifer a bit more freedom to continue to unpack at the new place. I thought he would just play around in the vacated living room with the box of toys still there. On my first trip out to the SUV with boxes, I gave him some small things to carry - simply because I wanted him with me rather than leaving him in the house alone. It took only one trip for him to figure out what we were doing. Guess he decided to forget about the boring boxes, he was going to take things that were important to him!


A hockey stick for Daddy.
And a hockey stick for me!

Here is a photo of Gantt and Mark playing in a bookcase that we had turned on its side before taking it down the stairs.

After all this work, Gantt was ready for a well-deserved rest. He loves wearing GG's glasses - doesn't care if they are right side up or upside down! What a doll.
