PILE OF PUPPIES

Dad and I listen to the Bible tapes at night. I like to lay on the floor and prop my Bible up against the bottom step. Go figure...I just think it is comfortable. The puppies' wooden bed lays next to me and I will occasionally reach over and caress one of the puppies.

Regal Jacob stakes out his own domain.

As I lay there, I looked over and couldn't believe what I saw. All three of the puppies were piled in the bed! This wasn't so strange as the WAY they were piled on top of each other. It was just a hoot! I had to take pictures and share with my family.

He ain't heavy...he's my brother!

Hope you don't get too jealous of the trio that belongs to ME!

Beauty In A Basket

Incredible Beauty

I have been pleasantly surprised at the beauty of this particular basket of flowers. My baby brother always gets me a gift certificate from Lowe's every Christmas. I do the same for him. We both like our plants!

I wait until the spring/summer to buy my plants so I can enjoy the flowers. At one time I had around 30 hanging baskets. That was when I had the time and energy. Now I have only about 5. This past spring I saw a hanging basket that was extremely pretty in color and shape; therefore, I bought it. It would look great under the pecan tree in the backyard. I was sooooo proud of it.

I proceeded to hang it in the tree when I got home and......BOOM! It fell to the ground! I was crushed by the terrible destruction caused to one side of the plant. The stems were mutilated! And the stupid plant wasn't even cheap. I took the broken stems and just stuck them back into the plant...oh well, if it grew ok...if not I will just pluck them out and throw them away. The poor thing was lopsided now and not so pretty. I forgot about the broken stems and would forget to water the thing. Poor plant it was negelected. I would see it drooping and go drown the thing. IT SURVIVED! It is still lopsided, but pretty.

Man, I hope the plant survives the winter. It is a real gem of a plant if it can make it through my poor attention this summer. I would recommend the plant to you....but I don't even know what it is!
