Our Life & Our World

Look what my boyfriend bought me………isn’t it gorgeous….actually he bought 2 one for either side of the front porch. I love beautiful flowers, and always try to have plenty around me, all through the year. I find them to be uplifting, don’t you? Today, has been rainy and so I have they getting all this nice rain. Now, the sun has come out and everything that grew during the clouds, is drooping…..

This was given to me by a lady that knows I’m a flower buff, so I need to plant it now that it has gotten a good drink from all the rain.  Last year I had several that I had planted but I didn’t get outside to cover them when the frosts and low temperatures, came and they froze.  I lost all of them except one, that is native to the Texas weather.  So, I will try to keep this one living and cover it this winter.  Right now I’m just going to enjoy it beauty and try to find more of these nice plants, for my yard.

I’ve got some beautiful roses blooming already and just wanted to share them with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, these are in my yard and I planted most of them last year. So this is the second year for them and they are really looking good.

One of the bushes didn’t do too well, in the last rain storm, but it will come back with beautiful pick roses…….. It’s been around a lot longer than the other bushes, so it’s more established and will be okay.

I like to surround myself with flowers, and hope that the people who drive by will enjoy, them as much as I do. It’s nice to be able to grow my own, because I’ve lived in apartments, where you’re limited as to what you can grow and how you can grow it. So, here are a few of my plants. ENJOY!

This Florabogosa?                       Cactus                                Hibiscus

My red rose….                                    My yellow rose…….

There’s a certain excitement that comes over me when i see one of my flowers about to bloom. I really can’t explain, except it comes from growing the plant and watching it evolve from the plant it was to the plant it is. That’s where the excitement and enjoyment comes from. Especially, if you’ve taken it as a small clipping, rooted it and set it out in the big yard to grow.
