Flowers, Skies and Giveaway

Here are the flowers blooming today. This poor Rose looked like it was a gonner after our nasty winter but it came back.  It is only about a foot tall and the blooms are not pretty but it made it.


These Lilies just keep blooming even though they are near a Black Walnut tree that has killed off a lot of other plants.



Coming home from our son's Saturday night these were the clouds we say and the sunset.











If I counted right this is my 1000 post since Jan. 2009.  I will have a surprise giveaway on Fri.  Please just comment on this post and do not pass it around.  I want one of my regular followers to win.  I have loved my years of blogging and wish to give someone a nice gift.  I want to thank my daughter Terry for getting me started and all the help she has been.

  3. My dad used to call roses "weeds" because they managed to survive through difficult times.

  7. Your flowers are doing great Tudy! (which is a blessing after the horrible snowy winter you had)

    Clouds are certainly ominous...we get our fair share every afternoon here. We've had storms for days on end. Hard to get anything accomplished after work.

    Congratulations on your blogging longevity. I love reading your's and Terry's blogs.
