Mallow is the star of the patio garden this day! The first orange day lily opened just in time for the photo. There are lots of day lily buds all over, and I hope some will be open for August's afternoon garden. It is very hot (for us) today - high eighties, but there is a strong breeze which helps. Some people close all the windows to keep the cool air in on hot summer days, but not me. Every window in the house is open, and I have fans going in every room.
As I look at my blog archive I see I wrote only three times last month. I expect you know the reasons. Here is a picture of Estée and Campbell Walker today. He'll be two months old on Sunday.
And Margaret and Hazel Nina yesterday at the beach. She'll be seven months old on Saturday.
Beautiful beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteYou have your hands full right now. Good to see the little ones.
ReplyDeleteThose babies are too cute for words, Nan!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is lovely, as always ... and the moms and babes are precious!
ReplyDeleteBabies and their mamas! Is there anything sweeter?
ReplyDeleteI am glad the reasons for your less frequent posts are your two bundles of joy . I should have known. I did't start blogging until my older grandchildren were in middle school or older! Wouldn't have missed watching them grow for anything!!!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is lovely and both mom and child portraits adorable. The babies don't even know yet how lucky they are to be cousins so close in age.
Getting so big already. Love the sunglasses.
ReplyDeletePrecious babies. Love those chubby thighs.
ReplyDeleteLove your header photo! (Meant to say that in my last comment already, but forgot.)
ReplyDeleteLove the inviting look of your patio!
Love the expression on Estée's face, and the stylish sunglasses on mother and daugther in the picture of Margaret and Hazel Nina!
In short - love this whole post :-)
Those photos are so beautiful, makes me wish for the time when I had my own new babies.
ReplyDeleteI love your header, is it Philadelphus?
Gorgeous babies and pretty mums too. Thank you for showing us. I can see why you've been busy!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, you've chosen the better part. Thank you for writing today though. Your grandbabies are precious.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful babies :)
ReplyDeleteTime goes by so fast
enjoy them to the fullest.
My first grandchild
is now on her honeymoon
and the youngest with her words
keeps grandma smiling...
Your patio garden is really filling in, Nan. Our daylillies are just starting to bloom here on the Cutoff - thought the Stella D'Oro that are planted along every shopping mall are in full throttle elsewhere. Your grandchildren are really "filling in" as well. Nina Hazel is quite the fashion plate in those sun glasses and how alert Campbell Walker is.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful babies!! And I hope you're able to enjoy your garden despite the heat. We've had a few cool days (in the high 80s! LOL!) and it's nice to sit out in the fresh air. (feel free to delete this if a duplicate)
ReplyDeleteCampbell and Hazel, growing up practically the same age together (more or less) will be very nice for them. They can be pals. :) The babies are lovely, Nan. And your garden is too. Love your banner.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly believe Hazel Nina is already 7 months!! She and Campbell Walker are beautiful babies, just like their mamas! Thanks for sharing their photos. Oh, and yes, your garden is lovely, too. :) Hope the heat doesn't last too long. We had one awful day of 97, but now we're back in the 80s. Off to go fishing and tubing with the grandchild today. Yesterday was the water park. I love summer!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet reasons to be busy! I'm in the same season!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! You are blessed!
