To Photograph Today

While I don’t have pictures to share of the serious Bachelorette date we had with Jerilee this evening, I do have a few pictures from earlier today. Not too many, or anything super duper riveting, but I have some adorable ones from after the kids took a bath, and also, from the flowers around our place. I only have a few lovely flowers that I make any attempt to maintain, but I really love those few.

But first, this is how things look immediately after bath time. Definitely my favorite thing about bath time 🙂

Laela has taken a very serious liking to the new/old chair we picked up recently, so I took the opportunity to snap a few pictures of her. She is so sweet and soft and photogenic.

As for our flowers, like I mentioned, I only have a few.

First, my day lilies. They were given to me by a friend a few years back and they grow on either side of the stairs up to my home. So far this year, they’re a bit uneven :/ One side is blooming beautifully and looks like it might already be on its way out, and the other side is mostly just buds. Who knows. But what we do have is pretty beautiful.

The next ones are our random peonies that grow next to the house, almost under the garage. I LOVE peonies. Some years, we get one, and other years, we get lots and lots of different colors. So far, we just have buds, but there are LOTS!

Lastly, my rose bush in the front yard has started. But the time I found out there was a rose on it, it was pretty done. I had to hold it up for the picture.

Of course, the second I let go, it did this…..

So that was awkward. Luckily, there are more on the way!

Its nice to see some colorful summer things taking shape in and around our home. Maybe someone will see them and love them, and want to buy them and they house around which they reside.
