Good Morning friends! Wow! We shot right up to 89º yesterday! Lovely day for gardening. I have been getting some done every day this week. Madeleine and Brian even helped a bit on Sunday. I am so glad. I just cannot garden all day long anymore at all. Take a look at my garden pals.
These two were hanging out under the trampoline for a shady rest. They continue to get along. The biggest issue is that Mabel wants Henry's food and he wants her diet food! I have to stand watch every time or they will switch!
These two sit on the back porch now. =)
I could not find the same pink pansies as last year. These are a pretty pinkish purple. I also planted the two pots in front of the garage with the Pius XI colors, since the graduation and party are not far off now for Jacob.
I am not sure if I made mention that he is officially registered at Marquette University. He will begin the nursing program in the fall. They only had room for 125 nursing students. Over 1,100 applied from around the country and world. It will be so very interesting to see how many male students there are. It appears there will be few. Jacob received very good scholarships and grants.
Jacob just went to his Senior Prom with a friend. They had an excellent time. It is now a whirlwind of school activities. School is done before May is over. Jacob and Emerson have both begun studying for Advanced Placement course final exams. These will be difficult, but if they do well, they will receive college credits for the courses. Lots of money saved then. ;)
This is the little bed I made for Henry. Now he has two, like Mabel. He loves it. Have I mentioned I love HIM?!?

| SQUEE!! |
I finished the book
A Skeleton In God's Closet by Paul Maier. A very good fiction book. It is twenty years old. I read it because our Pastor mentioned it. I just began
The Twelve Clues of Christmas by Rhys Bowen last night. This is one of the Royal Spyness series I very much enjoy.
No cross stitch to show at all. I must get this latest book read and back to the library so I can begin another waiting for me. =) I just love books. I love to stitch too, but sometimes new books just need to be read. ;)
Today promises to be another hot one. I may garden again, don't want to push the pain too far. I have prayed for all of you today my friends! I hope you have a glorious day!
Reading and planting,
Vickie

ReplyDeleteSo exciting about your son starting a nursing program.

Hi Vickie, I know you are very proud of your boys and hasn't the year just flown by. I love your pansies and I am glad I haven't bought any to plant yet. Mabel and Henry are getting along very well from looking at your pictures which I always enjoy. I have a niece who is doing her residency. The road has been long, but she will make a great doctor when it is all said and done. I am sure your son will make a great nurse. Have a great day. Enjoy the sunshine, I would love to have it today. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteMabel & Henry are so adorable! Love those little lookalike statues : )

ReplyDeleteAwww... aren't Mabel and Henry sweet together--what a relief that they get along so well, Vickie! You just never know!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers look so pretty; I was just thinking today that I need to get out and buy my flowers before they're all picked over.
Wonderful news that Jacob received some nice scholarships--you must be so proud of him :)
Mabel and Henry are so, so cute! I can see why you love them so.
ReplyDeleteHenry seems to be adjusting quite well and I love his new bed!

Mabel looks a lot like my Twinkles. I had her as a child and she was my shadow, my best friend. I loved my poodle. She lived to be a ripe old age too. I miss her!
