Aunt C's

            ~ THIS AND THAT ~

 

         We spent Memorial Day visiting Mother and

Bill in Mississippi.

 They are amazing at what they accomplish at their age!

Here, they are finishing a handrail so when they

   go up the steps, (they built earlier this spring)

      they won't be as likely to trip or fall :)

  

 

         A few pictures of her beautiful lawn and flowers.

This was one of those tiny rose plants you see in the

          grocery store given to her by one of her children

        for a birthday or Mother's Day.

 I think it likes living in her yard.

  



                      This bed sits alongside the patio outside the sunroom.
                          Pretty verbena and coreopsis colors are
                          complimented by the variegated liriope.

 

 



               Here is a view of the back lawn and patio. To the right of

           the picture is where they are working on the handrails.

            Such a peaceful place to sit with morning coffee or

in the evening, watching the sun set.

 

 

       This weekend, we took a little

      road trip to the Tomato Festival

in Jacksonville, TX.

 

         Antique tractors were a favorite of ours.

       I remember my Daddy riding the red

        Farmall home in the evening.

   We would listen for the put...put...put...

  as he came up the lane from the fields.

 

 

                               The John Deere is one of David's favorites.

 

We spent sometime at the festival and came home

        with a half bushel of these tomatoes.

 The tomatoes in our little garden are still green,

we couldn't resist these fresh, red ripe beauties.

Pretty cool truck too...............

 



        The drive through the rolling hills of East Texas

         was worth the trip. The sky was blue with fluffy

   white clouds, the countryside green and

pretty much postcard perfect.

 



 

                    We're taking advantage of the lovely weather

                  to visit some fun places and enjoy nature before

                        the unbearably hot days of summer arrive.

 

 

Until next time,

                   Carolyn
