Welcome to Our Garden!

Sunrise Sunset

Sunrise from our back porch.


This springtime sunset picture was taken from my sister
Cyn's deck in Lebanon. The following couple of shots were
taken from my front porch.

Random Shots

My dad passed away in March of 1999. We planted this
Yoshino cherry tree in his memory. When it's in full bloom,
we put a light in the center of it aimed upward. At night it
looks like a giant pink cloud. It's absolutely gorgeous!


I took this picture when we were flying back from Chicago.
Clouds fascinate me! I love taking pictures of them.

Ocean and Fire

We took these pictures of the beach and ocean in Destin,
Florida in May of 2008.


Blue-green water.


The breakers.


My niece Kelly took this picture with our camera. Not
sure whose footprint those are. I think they belong to
Kelly and Kerry.


Seems we always have a brush pile in our backyard. This
is just one of many bonfires we've had.


The fire was so hot you had to stand a long
way away from it. Even then you could still
feel the heat.

Rabbits, Cherubs and Owls Oh My!

This little rabbit family sits in the planter in front of our
house.


This is my niece Sarah when she was a wee
lass posing with the cement rabbit statue on
our front porch. I've always loved this picture!


Meet our garden owl. He protects our garden
from birds who love to eat our cherry tomatoes.

Hens & Chicks

I love this little hens and chicks plant. It sits out on our
front porch all winter and through the scorching afternoon
summer sun. It's a very hardy plant.


Hens and chicks plants are mat-forming succulents
that produce clusters of rosettes. The parent rosettes
are the "hens," and the smaller rosettes that spring from
them are the "chicks" or "chickens."

The Spider and the Fly

I found this really cool spider web covered with dew on
one of our boxwood bushes this morning.


This fly was taking a break on one of our garden planters.
