Buttercups from my Baby...

Tis the season for treasured gifts plucked from the fields by my babies.

 

Okay...so they aren't actually babies anymore, but that doesn't make the gift any less precious.

When I came into the kitchen yesterday, I found one such treasure waiting for me on the windowsill...a gift of nature from Judy. She and I love to pick wild flowers in the summer and display them on any surface that will hold them.

 

I am fascinated by decaying, imperfect flowers.

 

There is something so earnest about them.

 

Everything is aflower. The world is in bloom.

I love late spring.

Island Flowers...

Can you believe that the temperature in Georgia was more bearable than it has been in New York? What is that all about?

I think it was the stiff ocean breezes. They really take the edge off the heat.

Here are my flowers as promised.

 

My sister thinks this might have been an oleander but seeing as I took such a close-up, we are unsure. I love the fire from within.

It is the same for the photo below. We are unsure if it is a mimosa or from the bottle brush family.

 

It reminds me nothing of the drink.

Island Time...

I've just finished spending the last five days with my sisters on St. Simon's Island in Georgia. And I meant to blog everyday, truly I did, but the internet connection was kind of sketchy and in the end, I decided that I wanted to spend the time with my sisters rather than processing photos and writing blog posts.

 

We went to the beach everyday and although I am not a sun worshipper, we had a lovely time.

 

I spent the better part of my time under this colorful umbrella protecting my pale skin. It was so windy I had to hang on for dear life.

We stayed in a beautiful beach house that had a view of the ocean over this velvety green lawn.

 

We were visited each night by these little fellas. They were quite jumpy.

And we collected sea shells and photographed seaweed.

 

I also took a few pictures of flowers but I will save those for tomorrow.

Sadly, tonight I am stuck by myself in Jacksonville, Florida waiting for a flight back home. I am a little disappointed as I was looking forward to seeing my family tonight.

Holey Potatoes Batman!

Does such orderliness disturb you?

 

This is the way Judy arranged her dinner this evening.

Some people just roll that way.

I just wish her room looked as organized.
