I am very proud of myself today.....I finally used my cuttlebug that was purchased about 1 1/2 years ago. Yes, it's amazing....I know! I actually got it out of the box it came in a few weeks ago and purchased some new diecuts and I cut out letters and the cutest little feet and flip flops today. The little feet "slip" right into the flip flops! Just perfect for my "Destin" book. I've been procrastinating about getting it started long enough and started the first page today. Once I get going, I'll be fine. I leave you today with a pic of my gorgeous tabby, Taz (Tazmanian Devil).

Spent the day out weeding in my garden and cleaning up a few things since there's an everchanging landscape out there. It was a beautiful day outside, pretty hot, but humidity was low and a cool breeze to help keep me going. Got almost everything done I wanted to. Have to put a bench back together that fell apart this spring, but had to charge the power drill. That's tomorrow's project outside. Everything looks so cleaned up and beautiful. Here's some pics I have to share!

What a gorgeous melon color this daylily has.....so delicate looking.

My beautiful, over-taking coneflower. Yes, it's natural to this area, but it's getting carried away this year. I actually had to tear some out. I love taking profile pics of this flower and I also caught a bee on it. He was busy working his way from bloom to bloom.

And the best for last....my favorite of all-time. Just love the brightness of this bloom. It certainly puts on quite a show.

Johnathan Andrew

Introducing Johnathan Andrew.....June 11, 11:40 pm ~ 6 lbs 10 oz and 18 1/2 inches long. He's a tiny one and doing very well. It was a long day, thought he would never arrive.....but made his appearance just before midnight.

Here are some of the beautiful flowers I have blooming right now.....just love daylily's! Should be out there "weeding" right now...weeds, weeds everywhere. Why do the weeds grow at an amazingly faster rate than the flowers?
Chrissy (my son's girlfriend) is being admitted tomorrow evening to be induced on Friday for the baby...so you'll know where I will be. There will be lots of pics to come. His name will be Johnathan Andrew, John for short which is a family name for us. At first she was going to spell it Jonathan, but felt John wouldn't work then. Alot of people think spelling it Johnathan is not correct, but I've seen plenty spelled that way......! My mom, Jonel (who is named after the family name) is estatic about having a grandson "named after her"! Oops, make that great grandma....I'm the grandma! Whoopee!

This is my favorite ever picture of my husband. I just love it. Who would know he's 58.....looks like a young stud!! LOL

And this would have to be be my second all-time fav pic of my husband. You don't catch him being silly like this too often.....at least in front of a camera!

A great time was had by all in Destin, Florida this year. We had wonderful weather, the ocean was beautiful (no oil) and great family time. No baby arrived while we were gone, which I was happy of. But we still have no baby......anyday now!
