Views from the Garden

Today was such a pretty day that I decided to take some pictures of my hibiscus and roses before they wilt because of the heat. We have four different kinds of hibiscus (I'd love to have the huge ones that are the size of small basketballs, but alas, no). I also took a picture of the Peace Lily I received from my great grandma's funeral last year. I love this plant and I was afraid I was losing it, but I transplanted it into a larger pot and cut off the dead parts of the leaves and it's now thriving so well! It's actually blooming some lilies!


Shipshewana Outing















On Saturday, the girls and I went with my mom to Shipshewana for a small get away. We walked around, did some wishful thinking about some really neat antiques, and ate at The Blue Gate Restaurant. Outside the Blue Gate was a cool koi pond and the girls wanted their picture in front of it and Grace took a really good picture of the koi fish.
