Just a couple of things....

I still cannot believe Clay and I have been married 4 years today. I know there have been times that we wonder how couples who last 50 years do it, but I am grateful that he has stuck it out with me this long and hope he will for the eternities. =0) Clay gave me a lily the Easter before last and I potted it and stuck it outside (I know I've mentioned it and posted pictures of it before.). It has three stalks and a gazillion blooms. They all started opening, minus a few, on Sunday. Here are a couple of pictures I took today of it.This I did not plant, but it sure did show up. The funny thing is Sonja had one pop up in her garden too. It's very pretty! I think my cucumber is trying to attach to it. hehe, sneaky little cucumber.

One of the little roses peeking through!
The rest of my beautiful flowers. I'm trying to keep from killing all of them. The big one on the far right has been the hardest. It seems to be a water lover. I almost killed it in the beginning because I didn't realize it for the first like two weeks I had it. We're getting there. =0)

I finally cut the big cucumber that had been growing on my little plant, and yesterday I noticed this little guy was just a growing. The picture after this one is of a tiny little cucumber starting to really grow too. We ate our first cucumber from the plant last night, and let me tell you, it was delicious.

Gabby in June of last year. She has gotten so big since. Look how little hair she had and she can use that spoon correctly now. Wow!!

We went to have lunch with Daddy today at the pond that is at the back of the Hospital. There, the geese crowded around waiting for us to throw them some food. One even took a piece of bread from Gabby's hand. It was so fun and very relaxing! Fun times!!Clay loved the picture below because of the "cheez" Gabby is giving. She is such a ham!

How beautiful is your lily and all your flowers. I love the 'cheez' gabbing is giving too and the pics of her in the blue chair--so cute!
