A Beautiful Indian Summer Fall

This fall has been wonderful!!  We had a couple of days of cold weather so we had to cover the flowers and garden every night for a week and then it warmed up again.  We've loved the beautiful colors of the flowers.  After the August heat, they seemed to come back with brilliance. They are even now still thriving. 



 


 
 
 
 
 
There was about a week when we had to cover up the flowers and the garden but after that it warmed up again and we continued to enjoy them beauty of the fall.
 
 



























With few days off of the pharmacy, Alisha and I put on our gloves and started cleaning out the flower beds.







                                        There, that pretty good for one day.

And the job is finally done.

The Last Roses of Summer

 
These beautiful peppermint roses are the last roses of summer for 2012. We were lucky to have 2 of them saved before the deep freeze.


Meet the Fish Family

We recently aquired a new family living with us.  We call them the Fish Family.
There's Silver, named after Hi Ho Silver; Pumpkin, named for (her) beautiful pumpkin color; Jimmy,
Jimmy is always a blue beta - tradition; Baby, because she is a baby;
and Mr. Crab because (he) is a crab.




 
                                                We're enjoying having them in our kitchen.
                                                          And, nope, they're not for dinner.
                                                                    Not even Mr. Crab

Alisha's Beautiful Hair

                                                          Don't you just LOVE it!
