Weekend Snapshots: My Calamondin Plants

My Calamondin plants are surviving and they are almost full of white buds. Tiny little white flowers.  They smell good, too.

Tiny Ligustrum Flowers

Ligustrum flowers.

The sunshine yesterday was nice.  Although it was very humid, my daughter and I went out for a short walk and played tag for a little while on the driveway.  Didn't take long and we got very hot so we decided to check on the Ligustrum bushes in the backyard. Sure they're blooming really well again this year.  Unfortunately, not many butterflies are hovering around and feeding.  We only saw maybe not more than five of them.  Unlike two years ago, there were lots of butterflies and bees feeding on the Ligustrum flowers.  Mom and Dad were here on Memorial Day weekend two years ago and they were mesmerized with the scenery.

We are still hoping for the butterflies to come visit our Ligustrum flowers this month.

Lazy Rainy Sunday Morning

Front yard.

We love lazy Sundays.  It was a rainy morning yesterday and quiet, too.  I woke up at around eight o'clock.  My husband was awake and already made coffee.  He was sitting in front of his computer working on the book he is writing for his side project.  Our daughter still sound asleep on the air mattress bed we bought from Academy few weeks ago.

I grabbed a cup of coffee and went to the garage.  We have a radio/cd player in the garage.  I turned it on and listened to Jack FM station.  It was kind of oldies music day for me. New Wave and 80's music.  Brought lots memories.  Good ones.

Stargazer Lily plants.

And when the rain stopped, I planted the Stargazer Lilies my friend R gave me the other day.  I hope they will grow nicely and gives beautiful orange blooms next year.

Nothing More Precious Than This - A Day By The Lake

Cute tiny blue weed flowers.

My family and I love going out together.  We went to see the Lake Lavon to see how the water level had gone up since the past rainy weekends last month.  We were happy that it went up to 80 percent. That was according to my brother-in-law who checked the lake water level status online.

So we went down to the lake and threw some rocks into the water.  My darling daughter likes to do that.  Then we found a small playground close to the picnic area.  We took a few of our pictures there.   I just couldn't resist not to take a photo of these cute tiny blue flowers.  They're actually weed flowers.  But they're so pretty.

By the lake with my loves.

It was a beautiful day that weekend.  Perfect day to stroll and just enjoy the beauty of nature with your family.  There is nothing more precious than this.

Great Day In The Patio

Mom and Dad's patio.

It's a lovely day today in Texas. We are here at our folks' in Tyler.  The usual visit.  This afternoon my father-in-law and my dear husband planned to fry some chicken.  So we had home fried chicken, macaroni salad, and deviled eggs for dinner.  My brother-in-law's here too and he brought grapes.  He joined the Glow Run in Whitehouse this evening together with our niece.

Oh how pretty the day was.  I was sitting on the patio chair on the porch feeling the breeze on my skin and I was zoning out.  'Twas so nice to take a nap right there and then.  I couldn't take the drowsiness anymore, I went inside and lied down on the couch. I fell asleep as soon as I got settled on the couch.

Weekend Snapshots: Christmas Wreaths

  

My custom-made Christmas wreath from last year.

Christmas wreath I saw at a garage sale.

The Holidays are fast approaching and I cannot wait to put our Christmas decorations up.  But I cannot start until after Thanksgiving Day.  I am shopping for new Christmas tree ornaments.  My daughter and I are planning to change the color theme for the tree this year.  And, maybe, we will buy a new tree next month.

For the front door Holiday decor, I saw this red wreath at a garage sale.  I thought of buying it but I recalled I have my own Christmas wreath in the attic.  I will just hang it again next month.  Although red is my favorite color, I will just stick to my own wreath.  I think mine is prettier. :) Don't you think?

Weekend Snapshot: Growing Life

We are in Fort Worth today as we have planned to clean the apartment unit and turn over the keys after. While cleaning the patio, I noticed this little weed. It's sprouting in the very corner of the cement. An amazing thing to look at.

Life is everywhere. We can find it in every little corner of the earth.

Getting Green Again

During the fall and winter times, my plants went 'dead'. My roses turned brown and my Amaryllis was totally cut off. I am not sure if they will come back to life or not until today. When I was doing my watering routine I noticed my Amaryllis is starting to grow its leaves. Yay! She is coming back from hiatus (getting green) again. I do not know when do my roses show their leaves. I am afraid they are dried for good.

What do you think?
