Mother's Day 2026

 Our son and granddaughters came over today. Here I am with Mike.


Here are our two youngest granddaughters.


They brought me this pretty bouquet of flowers.



And Jazz put together these Lego flowers for me.


But that's not all. They gave me an amazing gift. But I cannot post it until I charge it up. Stay tuned...

Sunday Sunset

 








"I find it incredibly amazing how, at every sunset, the sky is a different shade. No cloud is ever in the same place. Each day is a new masterpiece. A new wonder. A new memory."

Peonies

 The Peonies at the house down the street have bloomed. they are beautiful.


These tiny flowers under them are apparently Columbine.






These are some other Peonies I saw awhile back. Different from the others, but just as pretty.

The Iris

 I bought this Iris kit from Amazon. I thought it was so pretty, and our Jazz is very talented at making things. It is made from very thin sheets of wood.


You can imagine my surprise when we opened it and took a good look. Oy!



But she proceeded to build it, saying she had made things much harder. I was kind of amazed; I could never do it myself!



Amazon has a lot of different flowers like this,but I think this will be the only one I will buy.

Ancient Art

 Well, they sent me home without doing the medical procedure! Because a new rule says you cannot eat or drink before getting I.V. sedation. I had no idea, and I had a cup of coffee and a cookie before leaving! Well, they fit me in for next month.

Know what this is?


My best friend's sister went to New Zealand and brought her treasures hand carved by the Māori! This box has abalone eyes.



She also got this little totem pole. Kind of frightening. Also with abalone eyes.




“Where land and spirit walk together. Guided by ancestors, grounded in earth.”

In The Parking Lot

 I will not be doing blogs today because I have an out if town medical procedure.

The grocery store parking lot had some pretty things in it. It was all about flowers and butterflies. They had these pretty Pansies outside.




The car across from us had this pretty windshield protector with butterflies on it.

The Flower

 The full moon this week is called the Full Flower Moon. Because of all the flowers that are in bloom now. I got some good shots of it last night, from the front yard.



"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark."
