Neighbor's Trees in Bloom

 Good morning,

Kjell captured this image of our neighbor's trees in bloom on the other side of our garage.

Beautiful!  The entire neighborhood is alive with Spring flowers!

Enjoy,

Lois

Old Fashioned Lilac

 Good morning,

My Mother had a number of lilac bushes along the side of our home where I grew up.  I made sure to plant a similar bush in her memory.  She loved flowers, all kinds of flowers, but I know lilacs were some of her favorites.  

What a lovely way to remember my Mother.

All the best,

Lois

White Iris

 Good morning,

These pretty white iris remind me of my dear friend Barb.  

Barb gave me the bulbs that she rescued before she moved.  Now that she is gone, the iris come back every year to bring fond memories of our friendship.

There is something wonderful about living in the same home for so many years.  

Happy Spring!

Sauteed Shrimp

 Good morning,

My Honey made dinner and it was fabulous!

Shrimp sauteed in olive oil and garlic served on spinach salad.

It's almost healthy!

Yum!

Thanks, Sweetie,

Lois

Peanut Elsa

 Good morning,

This is our Elsa snoozing on the patio on a beautiful Spring day.

You can see how she gets her nickname:  Peanut.

Perhaps I didn't read directions correctly before assembling my Labrador....  Hmmm...

It's going to be another beautiful day in our neighborhood.

Our pups don't let me sleep through a beautiful sunrise.  Aren't they wonderful? ;)  

All the best,
