Not So Secret Garden

Welcome!  Please take a look around our yard this summer...

Gorgeous Fuchsia flowers hang in front of our home...

 

Beautiful Begonias rest upon the front porch....

Tiny tins line the fence spilling pink petunias...

An ever growing pot of mixed Coleus gives a boost of color next to the garage...

 

 

Lilies in shades of red and yellow grace the side of the house...

 

 

Black Eyed Susans find their home on our back fence...

Impatiens and Ivy bring life to a watering can...

 

Shades of red and white impatiens welcome you at the front door...

This summer I am finding great delight in my flowers!  How about you?  What is blooming in your yard this year? 

Hold on God

This afternoon, as we sat down to lunch, we prayed before our meal.

  Following the word Amen, Garrett quickly exclaimed he needed to pray again, but this time

with his eyes closed (as he had witnessed Mammy do the previous night over our table).

He then began to itch his eye...

...as he proclaimed, "Hold on God, I've got gunk in my eye!".

I am fairly certain God was laughing right alongside me at that one.

Congratulations, Garrett!

They have learned their ABC's and 123's!  Tonight, Garrett, and his fellow graduates of Kersten's Korner Nursery School will proudly walk across the stage to receive their preschool diploma!  Dressed in red and white graduation cap and gowns, each child will proudly recite a nursery rhyme into the microphone.  Personally, Garrett will delight the crowd with his singing of "Diddle, Diddle Dumpling".  Together, the graduates will entertain their loved ones with a great musical selection of preschool classics!  I am crossing my fingers that the conclusion of tonight's program will end with "Kindergarten Here We Come!" just as Parker's commencement did two years ago.   

There is a tear in my eye as I think of my sweet Baby G moving on to Kindergarten next year; however, my heart swells with pride when I think of how much Garrett has grown in the last two years! 

Garrett,

We are so very proud of you and the hard work you have put forth the last two years!  It has been a pleasure seeing you delight in your accomplishments at school and come into your own.  You are more than eager to begin Kindergarten in the fall and we could not be happier for you!  Do your very best tonight and know that your family will be smiling proudly from the audience!  We love you!

Love,

Mommy & Daddy
