Our grandson Jonathan was here for a week a few weeks ago. While he was here he dug two new flowerbeds for Margaret—one along each side of our paved parking spot in front our house. After he returned to Virginia the rains came…and came…and came…
This is the bed on the north side of the parking area
Here is the new bed on the south side of the parking area.
I don’t know if these are for fish or flowers?
Here are some more pictures of some of the beautiful flowers in Margaret's garden:
Celosia
She has a number of different kinds of Day Lily plants

Today is a Saturday that we don't have any ministry activities scheduled. It was nice not having to wake to an alarm clock this morning and to wake in our own bed. I took advantage of the beautiful weather and took some pictures of a few of Margaret's flowers that are in our front yard.
Bergamot - as in Earl Gray Tea
Stella d'Oro - One of my personal favorites
Petunias on the left and Angel Face Blue on the right
More Angel Face Blue
Columbine
Tiger Lily - another favorite of mine
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (Matthew 6:28b-29) NKJV

Margaret is a very active member of the Middletown-Odessa Garden Club, a member of the Delaware Federation of Garden Clubs. This year is the club's 50th anniversary and last week they had a flower show.
Margaret had nine entries in the show and won one first-place, two second-place and three third-place awards.
I think her hat entry is gorgeous and should have won first-prize in the hat category!
