My Annual Rhododendrun

I love this bush - faithful to the core!

Gorgeous blooms! 

Thank you, Eva!

A busy week

I'm in the midst of one of "those" weeks.  The earliest I've been home was 9:00 and that was last night.  Between working at my daughter's school, babysitting for Nonni, teaching classes, trying hard to not let the issues of the day stress me out, and on top of my regular jobs, I'm a little too busy to write.

But, with my last post, I joined the Rural Journal blog hop - it is in the right side bar.  If you have a minute, hop over there and check it out.  It is for homesteading and picture taking and anything rural!!

I took this picture a few days ago!

My first daffodil of the season, at least two weeks early.  Everything is early this year!  I'm not complaining!  Thanks, Eva!!

I have the big Run for the Roses, Kentucky Derby auction at my daughters school this weekend.  It is a huge event, which makes over $100,000.00 for her school!!  They have been working on it for about 8 months and it's all coming together.  The ladies are dressing in "Derby Day Apparal".  I have a dress with a matching hat!!  I'll post pictures of all the fine ladies and gents and the decorations (which are truly phenomenal!) this weekend!

Have a good one!!!

Flowers

It's Rhododendron time!

This bush ALWAYS makes me feel like I am HOME!

Thank you to Eva and Brian for that!

Have a great graduation party this weekend, guys!  I wish I could be there!  I'm praying for good weather for everyone!

Taken two weeks ago at my friend's home...trying to preserve some summer and warmth!!!

Yard work

I got a lot done this weekend - the weather was gorgeous.  Lettuce is in the ground, onions and garlic are in (some kind of special stuff my dad gave me).  I have planted thyme and rosemary.  Tomato plants are in.  Peas are about 1 foot tall already!

I am turning over a new section (it is small) of the garden and I'm putting in some herbs this year.  So far, so good.

Here are pictures of my rhodendrem (sp).  It is beautiful again this year.
