Wyoming Flowers

TJ sent me pictures from her iPhone.  I am amazed at the image quality of the newer cell phones. It took me years to even get a cell phone.... now I suppose I should make my next move an iPhone.  Everyone who has one seems to think they are the cat's meow.  (Now if the lack of an iPhone doesn't give away how ancient I am, that expression surely does.)

TJ and her daughters were out and about in the cool Wyoming air when she sent me the pics.  I just had to share them with you as they might be reprieve for all of us who are smoldering still in record-breaking heat.  Their mountain petunias and snapdragons are flourishing while my geraniums and inpatients are loosing their leaves, their luster and their will to grow inside a furnace.

Muffin told her mom that these flowers were "more beautifuler" and that she should send them to Yaya.  She was right!   But in Yaya's eyes, Muffin is the most beautifuler flower in the garden.
 Cautious is wearing a dress I made for Bluebird.  She loves getting her cousins hand-me-downs.  Even though they are only six months apart, Bluebird is a size larger than Cautious and she has long legs, making her quite a bit taller as well.  Cautious tells me that she wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up.  I would say that pairing cowboy boots with a large graphic print dress is a good start.


I hope your day surrounds you with flourishing beauty.  I hope you find a little plot of refreshment from a hectic day or torrid heat.  I hope you follow your heart's desire and practice creating what you want to be whether you have grown up or not.

  2. Cautious is very much like Trisha, but Muffin really really looks like her at age three. You are a good grand daughter.
