Hello June

 Wow, here we are entering the 6th month of the year already. I can't believe how fast time is flying by. This month I'll be celebrating both of my children's birthdays. Brad's is on the 4th and Amanda's is on the 10th. There's also father's day in there as well but it's been many years since mine has been around.

Moving on, my visitor was back. That cat seems to like my yard. I didn't see him the one time and when I opened my front door he went racing across the street. Later he was back and just laying in the grass in front of my porch.

I tapped on the window and he did see me but stayed where he was. I opened the door and tried to talk to him. He stayed until I pulled down the screen. Then he once again went running off back across the street. I just hope that he doesn't end up getting hit.

Sit, stay, heal

 May 21st was my first day back to work after having the heart cath done. I think that was the day that I came home to a sweet surprise in my mailbox.

I got one big envelope and inside was not one but two cards. This one was so cute and the dog reminds me of Gibbs.

There was also this beautiful pop up flower arrangement. 

These came from Denise at An English Girl Rambles. Thank you so much Denise. This really brightened my day

Around the yard.

 Another walk around the yard to see what's blooming or getting ready to bloom.

First up is the Lupine. I don't have much of this left but I still get some every year. This was one of those plants that I got from my dad.

I also got the iris from my dad. 

The peony was a transplant from Wade's house when we first got married. No blooms yet but it won't be much longer.

These are the Japanese Iris. I got a little clump of these at a yard sale years ago. I now have them in two spots. This is next to my deck. I also have them under the tree in my back yard.

Frank's Farm Market

 On my way to and from work every day I pass Frank's Farm Market. They have the most beautiful flowers. Inside they sell garden items and gifts, produce and fresh baked goods. It's a really nice place but they are very expensive. It's one of those places where I look but don't touch.

I do take home some pretty flower pictures though. You might be able to see the price on the one container. It's a beautiful arrangement and it is large but $229 is a bit much.

Before I left I took a picture of the building. I didn't notice the woman that was there looking right at me. I got home and saw the picture on my computer and the expression on her face is "why are you taking my picture. I thought it best to cover her face.
