Getting ready to plant these.
Cistena Plum Bush
When we had the front lawn landscaped, we had a couple of cistena plum bushes put in. Then we bought a couple more later on and planted those ourselves. For some reason, those two died after a couple of years of pretty blossoms. I wonder what happened. They were planted in the same area as... Continue Reading →
First Magnolia Blooms
Last year the magnolia didn't bloom because of the late snow. She budded but was too weak to bloom. This year, she fought the snow.
MB Orchids and My Blog
If you've been following me, you'll notice that I've changed my blog name from motherof2andnomore to prettypeonydesigns. Those who were not following my blog may not have access to my blog anymore. I didn't do a redirect and motherof2 no longer can be searched. Moving on. It's been a long time (or feels like it)... Continue Reading →
Planted Flowers
Husband planted flowers on the side of the driveway. I love how bright and pretty these flowers make our home feel. The flowers below were planted a couple of years ago. They are the first pinks to show up and are always an exciting sight to see.
Morning Beauties
{This photo can also be seen at 365 Gallery for today's theme, 'Peaceful Moments'} Just a few beautiful things from the yard this morning. A couple of ants on a peony bud.

A Burial and Level Books
Sunday evening, Kylie learned that her favorite fish, a beta named Bubbles, had died. He was found floating at the top of the fish tank. Kylie cried and cried. I've never seen anyone cry as much and as hard as she has over a little fish. She thought it was the water frog, whom also... Continue Reading →
The Hottest Summer I Know
This has truly been the hottest summer I've experienced. Outside, the yard plants are dying and the grass has patches of yellow everywhere. The porch plant from Lowe's won't last a day without watering it, the day lilies won't bloom all the way, and the daisies (which always seemed to withstand the weather) withered. July...

Mother’s Day
Went to my 5-year-old's Mother's Day Tea Party at her preschool earlier today. She was so excited when she told me about it last week, but on this day, she showed no excitement at all. It was still a 99 on her scale of 1-10 (10 being the best). Got a card and chocolates from... Continue Reading →
