Nursery visit

 

so many beautiful flowers to choose from at the garden center!

We brought home some goodies! Like geraniums

Zinnias and caladiums

a  new hibiscus bush:

and we spent a lovely afternoon planting everything

a friend brought us two big tubs of red bud trees too, we havent got those planted yet

After an afternoon of planting, weeding, digging, it's nice to sit down and read my current magazines.

Hope your week has been great, here it is the weekend already again!

magnolia time in the Lowcountry

I eagerly await them each summer......the shiny glossy leaves and the big white creamy blooms of the Magnolias!

In the evenings we've been watching "The Rifleman", the story of  widower Lucas McCain and his little boy Mark. They have bought a ranch out in the New Mexico territory in the 1880s, after the Civil War.

I wasn't sure I would like this old Western show, the episodes all in black and white, but it's a great show! We have loved every episode so far in Season one and these episodes were filmed in 1958 I think! Great stories and still keeping us entertained, over sixty five years or so later!

The evenings are hot and muggy, lots of "skeeters" and "no-see-ums" ---aggressive little varmits! LOL. So it feels good to come into a cool house and watch good tv after the work is done and everybody is finally fed and happy.

What is blooming in your area and what are your favorite old shows or movies?

it was Mothers day

 A beautiful Mothers day morning:

eggs, cheese danish, and glazed doughnuts!

hot sweet creamy coffee

ready for Mothers day services at church

my old vintage pocketbook and my FAVORITE Pillow I found at an antique shop about this time last year

After church, it was a beautiful rainy day! I relaxed on the porch with a few good cups of hot coffee! I watched the rain and listened to the birds, it was so relaxing and lovely.

Then I fell asleep...

Resurrection ferns really show off when it rains!

rain on my newest rosebush, a present from a friend
Right now she has two buds, can't wait til she blooms!

Later that day, enjoying my Mothers day presents:

my new Dolly drinking cup and a new tiny rosebush. I do love the cup....it keep ice all day long and drinks COLD. The only part I don't like is it's "hand wash only". 

a new bright green pocketbook, I love it! My old green one finally fell apart, LOL

 soft blueberry headband I wanted:

this bright and pretty measuring cup I just fell in love with!

Mr. Front Porch made me a delicious steak supper with baked 'taters and I sure enjoyed it. Along with cheesecake for dessert.

It was enjoyed with old movies:

fun fact---Myrna Loy played the Queen in the recent Netflix "The Crown" series, I'm pretty sure

I LOVED both of these movies!

Here I am with my new pocketbook yesterday because we went to town:

I enjoyed reading about everyone's Mothers days and hope your week is going great.

A hot spell has arrived her in full force, whew! Hot breezes are blowing and Mr. Front Porch is keeping everything and all the animals watered. The chickens get watermelon, it helps keep them hydrated. 

Thanks for stopping by and Have a happy week!
