Long Time, No Posts

WOW! I cannot believe that I haven't posted anything in over 2 months.


First things first, it is now gardening time in central Louisiana. Brayden was very helpful last Saturday with the watering. The red bushes in the upper right of the picture are Bottlebrush plants. They are native to Australia. But do very well in my backyard. I also have old fashioned dark pink gladiolas blooming. Ann gave me those glads. In that same clump of stuff, I have some Summer Snow flowers that I dug from my great-grandmother's garden. My daddy's cousin was so gracious in sharing our heirloom flowers. It's just a guess, but these bulbs are flowers Grandma Stallings probably got from her mother's yard, or maybe from her grandmother's.


This daylily seemed to need more water than any other plant.








Then, after a long afternoon's work,


it was relaxing to run through the water


while Mamaw sprayed off the porch.




Joseph is rolling over at will now. He is trying his best to crawl, but only manages to circle. His belly is still stuck to the floor. It is really hard to crawl and suck your thumb at the same time.







Abigail is finally growing. There isn't as much difference in their sizes any more.





I have three finished quilts since my last post. I have done both of the cuddle quilts for the little babies. I also finished the flannel quilt for Joe.










Joe and Brayd tag-team Papaw. I think the match ended in a draw.
