Every Flower

Hello again... Nothing much going on right now, but I must tell you that I have started looking for a full time job. When that job opens up for me, Julian will be going to day care full time.

I recently took photos again of the latest blooms from the annuals I've grown this year:

Isn't it amazing how God can come up with a flower like this?

And this?

A flower with its own personality.

I so much love this red flower. Do you know its name?

This purple one is a shy one and needs a lot of care.

The pale pink one is alone, the only one of its kind, but it's confident and gets along well with others.

Hi there!

Hey busy bee... like the nectar?

These flowers just make me love summer.

And here's where I moved the pots...

Chocolate at Phipps

Friends. I have some pictures of a visit to the Phipps Botanical Garden and Conservatory which have been available for a while. Sorry it took so long for me to share them with you.

You can read more about it here.

I had so many mixed emotions that day...

Sisters (and brothers)

We have 10 years, and miles away in between, but nothing separates our hearts!

Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet. ~Vietnamese Proverb

Sister to sister we will always be, A couple of nuts off the family tree.~Author Unknown

There's no other love like the love for a brother. There's no other love like the love from a brother. ~Astrid Alauda

A brother is a friend given by Nature. ~Jean Baptiste Legouve

Best Things In Life Are Free

Hello my faithful friends, I am back from our weekend trip to D.C. My Tito and Tita (Uncle and Aunt) from Georgia drove to D.C. for a baby shower so we took the opportunity to meet up at my cousins.' It was a nice sweet little reunion.

Here are some pictures of the pretty sights...

We stopped to stretch our bodies for a few minutes, in a small town in West Virginia.

I just love this picture. Feel free to download it, it's my present for you!

A few hours later, we made it to the I-495, or the 'beltway' in D.C. and stopped at a mall at Tysons Corner. Of course I had to take pictures of flowers.

Free play for my little happy camper.

And a trip to Toys R Us for any toy he could grab, thanks to his Tito Adrian! Yay, more Thomas!

And how about some free laughs and rough-housing with his fellow Filipino-Irish cousin...

It really wasn't a sight-seeing trip, but we squeezed in a drive and a few minutes of walking around the U.S. National Arboretum.

Happy? There's more...

And so our visit to D.C. was over. My toddler and I drove home to our man waiting for us at home. He wasn't the only one waiting. For in our backyard, I could see these:

And last but not least, imagine my surprise when I went to check out the hostas in the hedge... one iris among a bunch that are about to bloom!

Thank you Lord...
