My first flower, noticed it as soon as snow left.

Sun setting in Des Moines, IA last night.

This is the end of our Mother Daughter trip 2005. We are due another one, but don't know yet when or where we will go.

Me with my new leg brace watching DH work. It is driving me crazy that I can't work outside in my garden. We had 90 deg. temps! I dug my shorts out of storage. As you can see by the white legs, I never wear shorts. LOL

Question, aptosca, How do you get up from that lounge? I am assuming that someone helps you. Cute picture.

dody - Thanks for asking. At first I had to have someone's help. Now I have gotten pretty good with a cane and getting in just the right position. The only thing I have to watch for is doggie under foot. Since my 1 1/2 days in the hospital, she hasn't left my side.

Mr. Innocent.........Not!! LOL

Wanda, I'm amazed at all the beautiful birds you are able to capture digitally!

Here's another one of our garden. It's terribly dry, but we didn't water today or yesterday since we have a 70% chance for showers tonight. If it doesn't rain then I will be watering tomorrow for sure. The 3 inserts at the top of the pic are the little yellow crookneck squash and the tomato blooms. We also have peppers blooming.
