I hope you will forgive me for forever taking pictures of these flowers our previous owner has planted. I just can't get over the beauty of them. I am really appreciating the previous owner's taste in gardening. I will be filling my journal with flowers, I'm sure, for as long as they are blooming. LOL I guess this is a peony? Did I spell it right? I need to put my gardening notebook together on the plants that are here. I've written them down but can't seem to get past boxes and school. LOL
I am beginning to enjoy the photography of these pretty flowers too. I have learned a different setting on my camera. You can almost see the water drop on the flower, after I watered today.
I have fallen in love with this color of this iris that just recently bloomed.
And more experimenting with the camera for this new bloom.
Unbelievable range of color....what a great way to decorate the area by the telephone pole and wires. LOL You hardly notice the pole when the iris are blooming. LOL
Up a little closer...
Rhododendrons blooming really good now....
Gizmo refuses to pose - the little bugger....
Bob is just all laid out here in George's Grandpa's rocking chair.....
Tugie says "Momma, are you ever coming in from outside to spend some time with me?"
Well, today was really busy at work. I looked to see if it were a full moon b/c yesterday and today were just pretty much nutty. Sure enough it was. Not sure why this is, but someone long ago used to say that the moon had some kind of an effect on people. LOL Lunatics short for lunar antics, I suppose. LOL I've been keeping control over things and trying to do the most important things first, but good gravy- it is crazy. Sure makes the day go by fast though. One blink and its over. I guess I kinda like it like that.
Today I got my last exam question answered....the essay is outlined regardless of being called by someone from work and asking when will I be back. (My lunch has been from 11-12 for about 11 years now. LOL) Except on Long Horn Wednesday when it is more like 12:15. I'm very predictable you know. Very scheduled. LOL
Anyway, once I finished up with lunch and my essay I headed back to the land of lunarville and finished off the day.
TheTeen had her cheer stunt safety test today. If she did not pass she could not do stunts. I told her of all the tests, I'd allow her to fail this one...LOL She says she did fine on it. They had practice after the test. They are starting their "conditioning". They ran laps, did sit ups, and lunges, and learned the proper way to help someone coming down from a stunt. I guess I just have to ask....can someone stop here and say a prayer now?
Does anyone have any cheer leading tubes or graphics to send? Let me know.
Anyway, I worked 1/2 hour later since she needed to be picked up at 5 instead of 4:30. Then came home and did chores, which are not so much chores anymore.
Hubby and I walked around looking at things....he showed me the plums on the plum tree and showed me where the property line is. Then we set into having dinner. We had steaks from our Omaha batch we ordered ourselves - delivered the first week we were here. We still have several things left....I fixed the boiled red potatoes again and had TheTeen fix up the salad kit. All was very good.
It appears that AT&T are trying to stick us for another month. I wrote down the confirmation number and the date I called and who I spoke with when we canceled our phone at the other house. However we should only owe for 2 days of this bill. They are charging us for almost another whole month past what we cancelled. Unh unh. Hubby called their 24 hours customer service toll free line on their bill to find they were "closed". LOL India must not "do evenings"....LOL Hubby smiled and said, he would enjoy that conversation tomorrow..."I have them" he says with evil laugh. LOL LOL LOL
Also Comcast had asked us to leave our equipment (modem box) at the old address which we did. Then we got a letter that was not so nice, telling us we were to have turned in the box. Hubby called them and asked what the deal was. They told him to return the box. He said "why did you have me leave it there if I was to return it?" He said I am in another city now and you are closed, what would you have me to do, now that I have followed your directions and they were wrong?" They told him they would send a box with return mail info to our new address and he could send it back via mail. So he told them he could easily do that once he drives to the other city and brings the box back. He was polite, but firm...
Details details....companies so big their right hand does not know what their right thumb is doing. And that is bad. LOL
Oh I got essay #8 typed in tonight...only two more to go...both outlined but needs to be typed out. Hopefully can make my goal of finishing the class this weekend despite the busy weekend we are going to have.
Oh yeah, Hubby is going to have to have his wedding ring cut off and resized. He cannot get it off. He has not been able to get it off for years. LOL He is going to get to be free of it for a few days. I've been teasing him the gals will think he is moved and single. I have been worried about this for a while in case something happened to his hand and he needed it off. So he has finally made up his mind to do it. We are supposed to go to the jeweler sometime Saturday if we can squeeze it in.
So I'm heading to bed. Enough done in one day - enough for 1.78 persons at least. LOL.
Oh, Hubby can't find the VCR and DVD players. Argh.....

Beautiful pictures. Looks like you are settleing into your new home. Enjoy anf have fun with it.
Sunny -
LOL isn't moving fun? I hope you find the DVD and VCR and all things you are looking for. Oh my goodness Sonya, we had so much stuff it took me three months to get it all put away because I was working at the same time. I hope it goes much faster for you. We had the business office to move which is an extra room of way too many files and equipment and desks... and the three kids so it was a real challenge but I truly hope this goes smoothly for you. Keep taking the pictures of the flowers; we are loving those beautiful flowers. LOL yes you spelled peony right!! I planted a peony bulb (which looked more like a root) last year and I am so sad it did not come up. I am hoping maybe this year it will but if not I am going to find me another one. LOL. Look at all those beautiful Iris!! Yummy steak and red potatoes and salad!! LOL lunar place at work. Oh and I have tons of cheerleader graphics to send you. Hugs,
Lisa -
The flowers are beautiful. I love the long bed of Iris's. Enjoy your day.
Missie -
I'm back! I've turn on the alerts to more journals. I realized that I 've missed a bunch! Your flowers are amazing. You are so fortunate to "inherit" them!
