Our HOME 5/22/17 |
I love this quote: "Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." I usually put an emphasis on the colors in our yard --but this year, especially after our terrible drought last year, I am in love with the GREENS in our yard!!!!!
Today I want to share more of our yard and more of the 'greens' we have. Hope you enjoy seeing the beauty in all of this GREEN....

One more collage from the wedding last Monday of my son, Mark, and the love of his life, Debbie; They just returned from a Carnival Cruise to the Caribbean. These two Sweethearts have more fun together than anyone I know. The key to their deep love and their relationship is LAUGHTER. I am so happy for them, and I KNOW that they enjoyed every single minute on that cruise, and will have an extremely happy life together FOREVER!!! |
Hope you enjoyed today pictures of the greens in our yard... AND I hope you enjoyed seeing these pictures of two very happy people in love.... I love them both with all of my heart!
