Yesterday hubby and I celebrated a special occasion. It was our 45th wedding anniversary. Amazing how quickly time flies when one is having fun. For sure those 45 years have passed far too quickly.
It also marked the beginning of vacation for a few days.
So looking forward to a rest and a bit of relaxation. It is a rare June that we don't take some time off to putter around the place, ride the bike, eat out and do some day trips. Hoping this week will be no exception.
Happy to see the orange day lilies beginning to bloom...
the delicate pink poppies...
and hollyhocks.
Our neighbor was finally able to get the field cut and ready to bale. We have had so much rain that it has been a challenge for our farmers to make hay. Generally by this time they have had the first cutting and looking at a second by the end of the month...not this year.
Been receiving some delightful snail mail from a dear friend Kathy over at "Hummingbird Studio at the Lake." She makes wonderful mixed media pieces and does such lovely art. Her envelopes are sealed with her own wax stamp.
Then another dear friend Debra at "Feather Garden" sent a card and note with this beautiful insert inside. Debra like Kathy is always busy creating something extraordinary. Both of these gals are so talented and their creativity never fails to inspire me
Thank you both for sharing your gifts of art.
Well friends have a wonderful week.
Hugs
Debbie

ReplyDeleteBonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteJe te souhaite à toi et ton époux un très joyeux anniversaire de mariage. 45 ans de vie commune, c'est formidable et glorieux de nos jours ! Je te fais des bisous bisous et profitez bien de ce moi de juin.
Bisous bisous
Happy anniversary and vacation! The hollyhocks take me to New Mexico, nice memories. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Debbie. 45 years is very special, indeed. I'm glad to hear you got so much rain. It is much needed here, and we are in somewhat of a drought situation. I've never seen pink poppies before. Your hollyhocks are pretty also. I hope you get to take a little vacation. Can't believe we are in mid June. So thoughtful of your blog friends to send you little things. It's always nice to get surprises in the mail.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Debbie.

Happy Anniversary to you and your husband!!! I hope you enjoy your vacation and some time off to do things you've wanted to do. The pink poppies are quite unusual. I've seen the traditional red and yellow ones and even white ones, but not pink. Have a great time!!!
