I'm Lovin' Learnin'

 I love looking out the window first thing in the morning.

flowers and veggies

I splurged and got some frogs for my jars.

That's my happiest face.

So my sweet friend, Carolyn, gifted me some of her cobalt blue vases for my flowers.  The oldest one is the one with the frog lid.  Know what that is?  Mark added his blue cup to the collection.

That's my sweet friend Carolyn!

Most of these arrangements have been given to friends just because!

I Am Totally Amazed

 The flowers all around the yard are out doing themselves this year.  I am so glad that I gave up a little bit of vegetable garden space to plant flowers.
