Growing things ...

One of the things my parents taught me - or was it already in me? - was the fascination for growing things. My dad always pointed out flowers, trees, birds and what they wee called ... and he once said that an onion flower is pretty. I never knew what an onion flower looked like - until now. The thought and curiosity stayed with me, so a few months ago when I had an over-ripe onion in a cupboard I did not hesitate but planted it in a pot outside. And now I know what an onion flower looks like!

An Eventful Easter

We went to Chattanooga to spend the Easter weekend with Chase's family and we had a very nice visit.

On day two we went to Chattanooga Arboretum to go by car through the Reflection Riding and there were absolutely gorgeous sights with all the spring flowers and trees in full bloom! We had intended to go up to one of our other fave places on Raccoon mountain also, but car trouble stopped us. We ended up having our picnic at the parking lot of a gas station while waiting for the tow truck! It was fun though and the car got fixed on Monday so we could return safely back to Nashville. No charge since it was a recall issue. What a Blessing!

Five year Anniversary

I know that I am Blessed ... five years with someone that really cares about me. We have had our ups and downs, like everyone else, but we've learned and moved on ... and grown closer in companionship and respect. And love. Celebrating our fifth anniversary is a blast! We've done special things for one another the entire weekend. We have eaten our favorite food (me pasta of course!) and I gave him a back massage when he least expected it. Last night we went to catch a movie. Today I've planned a surprise and he bought me a beautiful flower arrangement ... Happy Fifth Anniversary to us!

Following Growth

 There is only one word to describe the wonders of watching a growing flower bulb ...

... amazing!
