Day 245...Destructing Beauty... :(

Day 245

When I visited my mom today I saw that this is now what's left of 

 the beautiful little field of wild sunflowers I took a photo of a week ago.

It made me sad to see that one more little bit of nature's wildflowers

had been ripped up and discarded.

Several years ago when I lived in Texas, 

I had an elderly neighbor who told me even though her

husband just hated the Dandelions and flowering weeds that she always looked at them

as God's gift to us..."Freebies" as she called them! 

I have many memories of her even though I only knew her for a few short years.

It's amazing the impact people have on us and sometimes we don't realize it till much later.

Today, Friday, September 21

Last Friday, September 14

although this is a closeup the entire little hillside was covered

in these wild Sunflowers one week ago today.

Day 244...Sweet!!! :)

Day 244

It's so true...

Sometimes the smallest things mean the most...

My husband knows I love Oreos...(he does too)

He also knows I LOVE Candy Corn and always look forward 

to devouring a sack (or two) when Fall arrives!

Yesterday, while listening to the radio,

 he heard the disc jockeys talking about the new Oreo/Candy Corn Cookies

and stopped on his way home from work to buy me some...

After hitting three stores with no luck he came on home 

but he did tell me about them!!! 

Little did I know that today he actually called the radio station to ask where he could find them..

Guess what he brought home to me today! :)

Day 243...Daylight Dwindles

Day 243

Another day of work..

Another day of a solo photo...

Another day of wishing I had more time in the day...

Just another day of life... 

And as the saying goes...

Life is Good!

Day 242...Serious Stuff

Day 242

He watches the movie with such intent...

It's a drama of unimaginable magnitude ...

And he takes it very seriously, you know...

After all, it's... 

Toy Story 3!

I love this serious little face...

:)

Day 241...Faces of Alia II...:)

Day 241

A short visit today with GiGi while Mom had an appointment!

Another opportunity for me to capture some sweetness!

 :)

Day 240...Faces of Alia :)

Day 240

She spent the day with her PaPa and GiGi today...

It was a good day! A really good day!

She asked me "GiGi, can I pick these flowers for my hair?" 

"Of course you can!" I said

I do believe flowers are planted to later pick and enjoy!!!

She had to have a little help picking them though...

(the whole plant almost came up out of the ground on the first pull)

Surprisingly, as you can see, the flowers survived the process 

of pinching them down to a short enough stem to tuck behind her ear...

(I helped with that part too...it was a tough stem to pinch!!!)

In hair flower arranging done exclusively by Miss Alia herself!!!

Day 239...Garden Sedum

Day 239

It's been another one of those days where I only took a shot or two...

Not much of a day for photography but 

a photo was taken, nonetheless!

I've never seen a Sedum variety that I didn't like!

Simple beauty...
