The poppies are still blooming.
I can't seem to gather any seeds from the spent blooms.
I hope to find some seeds for *blue* poppies for next year.


This is a larkspur.........it isn't a great picture,
but I wanted to show the variation in color.
This one is whitish lavender with a light purple.
I love to see the different colors that pop
up in my gardens.


I had one of these plants last year.
I still don't know what they are for sure.
One plant makes a HUGE bouquet.
Aren't they a pretty color?


More larkspur color variation.



Day lilies aren't my favorite.......
we had these growing up in our yard
in Seward, Kansas.
My mom had all sorts of flowers in the yard.
On the North side of our house was a bed of pinkish purple phlox.
They're gone now.


The new yard art.
I can't really fill them with bird-seed
because the seed will
fall on the ground and cause all sorts of
weird grasses to grow.
Not really something I want in my flower gardens.
They're empty right now.
This proves you can enjoy
*empty*.

The larkspur is gorgeous. And I had the name of the unidentified flower on the "tip of my tongue" and now it's gone!

I think you should do a WHOLE post on "enjoying empty"! (If YOU don't, I might!)

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
