I could show you MANY more from different months since these were all from my September Rose Folder.  Aren't they gorgeous?  Do you have a favorite?  My two fav's from this group are Soft Whisper and Ronald Reagan.  But there are several others which I love.

My prayer request today is for ME.  I have done something to my left knee (the same one I had Meniscus Surgery on in 2010).  It hurts like CRAZY.... I can barely walk. Am going to the doctor today..  Please say a prayer or send some happy thoughts to me please!!!!!

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving Week...  Take some time to hug those you love and keep an ongoing list of all of your blessings.  We ALL have so many,  don't we?

God Bless All of you.

The Last of our DAYLILIES in 2014

Blushing Summer Valentine Daylilies (taken on 7/1/14)

This post is for all of you who are going through this huge Arctic Blast (Winter Storm) now... These low temperatures and winter weather have been gripping most of our nation --including Texas!!!  SO----I thought seeing some gorgeous Daylilies is just what we ALL need today.  This will remind us that spring/summer will definitely be back ....  Keep the faith!!!!

This is my last batch of Daylily Photos for 2014.  We had 55 different varieties in our yard this year.  IF you want to see all of our daylilies,  click HERE.  Counting this post,  there are 5 total posts in that label (Daylilies 2014).

I worked hard this year at learning the names of our Daylilies (and our Roses) ---and I will miss them terribly until they return next Spring.  Then I'll have to learn those names all over again!!!!

Hope you enjoy today's group.  Be sure to click on them for enlargements.

Do you have a favorite (or favorites) from this group?  I have always loved Buttered Popcorn,  but I also love Orange Velvet.  Lavender Vista is a gorgeous color,  and so is Persian Market... SEE??? It's hard to pick favorites!!!! ha

I will close our Daylily blog posts during 2014 by showing you three photos from one of the Daylily Beds in our yard, taken in July.  Hope you enjoy seeing them in groups.

Hope you enjoyed seeing all of our beautiful Daylily Photos --not just today,  but all five of the posts I have published in 2014.   We buy most of our Daylilies from Oakes Daylilies right here in Tennessee.  Click HERE for more information about Oakes.

Hope you will get some Daylilies for your yard!!!!  Be sure to buy re-bloomers though.  We highly recommend them.

Our yard doesn't look like these photos now,  but I do have HOPE for the future and our beautiful flowers...  Have a great day!   AND by all means,  wherever you are,  stay WARM.   We are enjoying the new gas-log fireplace SO MUCH.

Late October in our Yard---October 2014

On the Street Where We Live 10/27/14

We recently saw SO much Autumn Beauty on our vacation to the Maggie Valley area...  I didn't think we'd get to see anything nearly as pretty once we got back home.  For you see,  we have had a very DRY late Summer and Fall here at home.  So many of the leaves on the big trees just turned brown and fell off... SO---we weren't expecting to see much color here.

However,  we did find (and continue to find) quite a bit of color in our area --since the leaves are hanging on longer than usual this year (which indicates a frigid winter upcoming).... Today--I'll share with you some pictures around our yard... One of them is my header this month.  There are two more on my Photo Blog (click HERE for those two pictures).    Hope you enjoy the Fall Photos from Fairfield Glade, TN!  (Click on them for enlargements.)

Beautiful tree in our back yard  10/28/14

Looking from our deck toward the golf course fairway as the early morning sun began to shine on that pretty tree;   10/30/14

Another early morning shot --looking through the trees at all of the color;  10/30/14

a close-up of some pretty leaves --as the sun shines on that tree;  10/30/14

Well---that's it!!!!  As you can see,  the last of these pictures were taken on 10/30.   It was on 10/31 and 11/1 when we had that big storm (rain/ice/snow--and lots of wind).. Needless to say,  I'm glad I took these pictures before that storm!!!!!

Have a wonderful day and get out and enjoy nature!!!!  We are definitely 'enjoying' it right now---picking up leaves--leaves---leaves in our yard!!!!!  Fun Fun...
