Flower pictures - anniversary and garden...
October 6th was my 30th wedding anniversary. Ken sent this gorgeous arrangement to my office and then walked in with it himself. :D
We went out to dinner at the Opryland Hotel and ate in the Atrium. Beautiful and delicious!!
I went for a walk today and took a few photos in the yard and garden. The fall colors are starting to appear. Yay! The flowers are winding down, but there were a few left. :)
We live up on a hill, so this is looking out from my front yard across my neighbor's lawn.
Zinnias and marigolds
Zinnia
Dahlia
Mums
One of the last rose buds
My bonsai Japanese Maple has turned its fall colors.
Hydrangeas
Birdies in the bird bath - mostly purple finches
RL has been a real challenge lately, health-wise - I somehow hurt my neck the first week of August, which was excrutiatingly painful. I was sent home with a traction machine to use twice a day for a month and have been seeing a neuromuscular therapist, because the verdict was it was probably postural in origin - mostly because I spend hours at the computer and can't see it unless I lean forward close to the monitor. I am better but it's not really fixed yet. And in trying to figure any and all causes, we now have a new mattress, and I have new computer glasses. And while all that was going on, there was other stuff - like the car breaking down on our way out of town to visit our daughter, the computer breaking down, house repairs needing attention - I don't even want to give energy to it all by listing it - ha! So that's why I've been mostly absent here. For a while it was all I could do to be on the computer enough to get though my hours at work. But there will be art from me soon. :) I'm on vacation this coming week so I hope to get several in progress things finished up, catch up with friends here, as well as post some photos from this summer.
If I missed something you'd like me to see, please link me!
