Yesterday my Mother-in-Law brought over some Lily of the Valley from her garden. These adorable, tiny flowers are so fragrant that I want to carry them around with me to enjoy all day. I will be digging up my fresh mulch to plant this beauty in my shady gardens soon. Thank you Fina!

I couldn't resist posting on my own birthday a picture of Roxy in her birthday party collar (purchased in July, a month after her birthday). Any reason to dress up this dog!

Today, June 24, 2012, is my parents 45th wedding anniversary. Five years ago I made a small slideshow on my old blog ; today I had to make a new slideshow (that people can see) and add a few pictures.

Alissa and John's Wedding Photos by Alternate Angles, including the beautiful portrait of my parents at the very end of the show. Note: Some of Alissa and John's wedding photos are not professional -- just snap shots by family.
