First Bloom, Butterfly, Rocks, Katydid, Pool and the Girls

Last week I had my very

first Morning Glory bloom,

and I was so pleased. I had

forgotten that they come

in colors and I had bought

seeds for purple ones.

Also last week while out 

plucking off dead blooms for 

the seeds, I had this guy 

follow me from 

one bed to the other.

But what is so strange, early that 

morning I was sitting on the front

porch talking to Amber on her

way to work. There were two male

Eastern Bluebirds that visited the yard.

I have seen them before flying around

but never coming that far into my

yard to eat and fly around.

My first thought was that mom 

was paying a visit, checking on me.

These were mom's favorite birds

so, when I see one, I think it is 

her checking on me.

Then just a few hours later,

I had my encounter with 

this guy. You know what they

say, butterflies are loved

ones flying down to check on 

you. All I could say to mom 

at this point, "Mom, okay I get it,

you sent me signs, I see them, 

but now I need to you tell me

what the signs mean". If you remember

correctly, the day my mom was buried

I had a cardinal visit the deck, and I 

had to get it out of the screened area,

at which point it let me pet it. I said

then that must have been a sign 

from mom letting me know that

all was well, and she sent a bright 

red bird to do it, so that I could

not miss her message.

Did I figure out what these two

signs were about? Nope, but a friend said

it was just her way of letting me know

she was around and still with me.

Hoping that was correct cause

like I say, I can be blind.

Yesterday, while mowing, I found 

a feather. Cardinal, butterflies, 

dragonflies and feathers are suppose

to be signs showing you that 

your loved one is around.

Who knows, but like I said,

I hope that is all this is and I 

am not missing something!!!

lol

I posted the last two 

rocks I painted for my

"where I have been garden"...

but I thought I would share 

all the rocks at one time.

Gosh, I need to get on the 

road and go somewhere.

When I got in the car to go with

Amber to go to Trinti and Caleb's

baby shower. I 

was greeted by a Katydid on 

the door. 

As we drove off, it held on.

It hung on and on, 

all the way went all the 

way to Charlotte with us, about

40 mins away.

When I got out in Charlotte, 

it was still there, a tad wind

blown I am sure. 

Then just a couple days later

while out watering plants I 

saw this one hanging on 

to my flower. 

They are such a pretty green, 

this one really blended well 

with my plant.

Amber said that she never 

heard of a Katydid, I had to pull

out the phone and show her

that they do exist. 

Sometimes I wonder how 

she is my kid!

One day last week I took

Braden to the Rec Center in 

the next city. We went swimming.

Well, he swam and played

ball with some 

boys there. I got in and 

hung on to the side, then

sat in my chair reading.

I don't swim.

But I enjoyed it.

Here is your fix of 

my furs!

Wow, Lily sure does look

comfy, 

Nap time looks good on 

her, maybe I will close my

eyes and see how it looks on 

me!

Smile,
