PUT SOME COLOR IN THOSE CHEEKS~~GARDEN NAKED!




DID I GET YOUR ATTENTION!! teehee

I know I've shown pictures of my backyard garden before...but it is especially lush during this short spring season here.
This is my volunteer rose tree.  It is a wild rose we tried to kill.....OH WELL!! 


One of my rose beds





I know today I've posted a lot of pictures of my garden....but it is so lovely here right now...and I'm spending a lot of time outside.

We had such a hard freeze this winter that I am amazed anything survived.


And last but not least my St. Francis statue.  It was here when we bought the house over 9 years ago.  It has broken off at the waist so I simply sat it in my rose beds as is to add a special little blessing to this wonderful garden God has given me. To all you dear ladies who are still having snow and cold weather...sending spring thoughts your way.

Blessings dear friends,
Jo

    I'll never tire of seeing your pretty flowers, Jo! And yes...it still mighty cold here in Chicago, but at least the sun is shining today! I love your statue!

    Have a wonderful Easter!

    Half a St. Francis is better than no St. Francis at all!

    I'm glad that beautiful volunteer Rose Tree fought back and won the battle. *winks* It is magnificent and obviously thriving in spite of not being welcomed at first. I am glad you have now allowed it to bloom where it planted itself... what a wonderful specimen it is, honestly, it is breathtaking.

    Oh Jo, your flowers are so gorgeous! I wouldn't care if you placed hundreds of flower photos in your post. They are each so special. And yes, I am still chuckling over the title. ;-)

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
