A backyard metamorphosis

Debbie has transformed our backyard into a colorful garden. And of course, we're spending more time there this summer.

All senses are pleased. The lively colors of the flowers, the running water from the fountain, the cute lights, and the birds chirping and singing.




This live bouquet is made in a strawberry pot with various rambling plants. What a clever idea!

A happy "Father's Day"

Today is father's day.
Mine turned out to be a happy one. Actually, the whole weekend was a happy and pleasant one.

Kelly and Leah have been working in Atlanta for the summer. Both came down to spend the weekend with Debbie and I for "Father's Day".

They have sweet words and cards for me. Very touching. We told each other how much we love each other again...because we really do love each other, Dad and his daughters.
It is as I've said many time to them, "always have, always will, no matter what".

This picture of the fountain with the "lady and the shell" is in the background of the first picture. It's so beautiful I thought you should have a peek at the pleasant surrounding we've enjoyed this weekend. I know you can't hear the water flowing, or see all the pretty flowers around the set up, with the visiting butterflies, but just believe me when I say it's beautiful and relaxing. The credit goes to Debbie.


This last picture simply shows how relaxing the weekend was. Have I already used the word "relaxing" in this post? Well, it was that much. We even had a nice dinner outside with candles, soft music, (no, we didn't dance this time), and the special touches Debbie adds to occasions. Remember now, we love each other and we like to be together.

It's very rewarding for a man to see his children grow up to become nice and thoughtful young ladies with whom you have a close relationship. I hope for many fathers to experience this blessing.
