Mother's Day 2010

Happy Mother's Day 2010! Bryson and Zack and I went to Mom & Dad's for the day and had fun hanging out in Nellie's Garden (Mom's garden oasis), playing Uno, and eating pizza. Below are just some of the many pictures I took out in the garden...

The mirrored spinners we get at the Celtic Festival each year - part of Mom's Mother's Day gifts last year and this year.

Some of the many flowers - these are in a seashell hanging basket.

Daisy (Mama's chihuahua) enjoying the sun.

More flowers.

Lots of green - a green gazing globe set against green leaves.

Daisy and one of her favorite outdoor toys - a big rock that she carries around, then throws on the ground and rolls around on.

Sparrow (one of Mom & Dad's beagles) enjoying the garden.

My oldest son, Bryson (who will be 18 this year), planting a Rhododendron bush for Mom.

Hanging seashell windchimes.

Zack, my youngest (who will be 15 this month), being the comedy relief of the afternoon.

Daisy and her rock again.

The sun is always shining in Nellie's Garden, no matter what the weather.

Birdbath and some of the many flowers.

More flowers and a chihuahua statue.

The garden fairy watching over all the flowers and goings-on in the garden.

2010 Celtic Festival

The 2010 Celtic Festival at Bethabara Park in Winston Salem, NC - complete with goose-herding, music, food, flags a-flyin', crafts, gifts, and tons of people!

(Haggis & Fries - yes, I ate it, and yes, it was good!)

Spring Flowers

Well, it's now May of 2010 and I have finally gotten around to getting back on here, and I have some new spring pictures to share. All of these were taken in our backyard (and front yard, and side yard, LOL). I can't take the credit for growing them, only for photographing them - but I thought they were really beautiful and definately worth sharing...
