Sunny Saturday…

It is bright sunshine here in Central Illinois this morning checking in at 56 degrees.  We do have rain predicted for tomorrow  but no rain in sight today.  I actually had to water my one remaining tomato plant yesterday,  I  also had to water the petunias I planted around the light pole.  The squirrels had dug up two of them.  I think squirrels are  entertaining to watch but they are ornery creatures too.  I miss my flower beds from home at this time of year.

Some of my flowers from home.  I brought 2 of the hen and chickens with me and they are doing well.

I have a new great great niece  (called Lizzie)  She is a tiny little thing at 4 pounds.  Her mommy has gone through a very rough patch but she is doing better now.

We all love you Lizzie and mommy!

Have a peaceful weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

  6. What a beautiful new addition to your family. My hubby weighed in at about 4 lbs. when he was born early. Doctor said he wouldn't live but here he is today. I love the pictures of your flower beds. I remember living in Illinois and the squirrels and rabbits would eat our plants and flowers in the yard. The worst thing we had was a mole. We could not get rid of it. Tried a lot of things but it would tear up our lawn every year! Too hot here for most of those critters. Have a wonderful weekend. You remain in my thoughts and prayers. God be with you.

  11. aww, Lizzie looks completely oblivious to the fact she's now found a place in everyone's hearts, Beth, ... and I couldn't agree more about the squirrels, we had such a problem when growing our lawn from seed, squirrels dug holes everywhere, but Bess soon sorted us out and we had slabs put down, ... for she must have been in cahoots with the squirrel and finished off the grass with her 'wee' ... Sigh!! Did we laugh?... erm, ... a while later methinks !!! hugs aplenty to you... xPenx

  14. I'm quite taken by Lizzie! I hope all will go well with her mommy now.

    Squirrels do know how to wear out their welcome, don't they? The flowers are pretty in spite of them!

    We had fog earlier today, and there is a little sun now. Another summery day is on the way.

    Enjoy your Saturday.

  27. Awww Beth little Lizzie is so very adorable. Hope her mommy gets over her rough spot. Enjoyed your pictures too - very lovely around your patio. We were supposed to get rain all day today and tomorrow - so far it has skirted to the west of us. We could use another good shower as things are drying up again around here.

  28. Lizzie is a little angel! 4 pounds! I thought I was tiny when I was born (5 lbs 8 ounces). She is precious. God bless you all.

  29. What a precious little one! I'll keep mommy and baby in my prayers! It's hard to believe that I'm not that far south of you and we're going to hit upper 90's, maybe even triple digits this week! Have a great week!

  31. Congratulations on your tiny little niece...so beautiful! I agree with you about squirrels. They love to taunt my dogs. It is hilarious watching them....both the dogs and the squirrels. The squirrels seem to be smarter than the dogs. Sad. :) I love petunias. I'd have to get out the bb gun if they dug up petunia I had planted.
