    This makes me smile wide! It just says sunshine and carefree days to me. All of the shots except for the gorgeous little guy in the center could have been taken in my own garden and those small little yellow flowers...do you know the name? They grow wild here in the garden and the grove and even some ditches and when people ask I just say brown-eyed susans but I'm pretty sure that's not right. Would love to know the real name if you know? Is there a new baby in your world yet?

    Un grand MERCI pour la gentillesse de ton message à l’occasion du mariage de mon fils, en leur nom et le mien. Très belle cérémonie suivie d’une jolie réception, avec larmes d’émotion et un immense bonheur. Celui de construire une vie à deux.
    Je viens de voir tes billets, je craque à fond d'un sentiment très fort...bravissima...

    Good evening!

    Marsha.. they are to me all small or bigger:)Rudbeckias or Black eyed Susans ... I know..they are different the wee ones..But they still are yellow w/ deep brown almost black center..they are tall though not short..

    The new wee one is not here yet..Mommy was told to pack her bags last week so you can imagine..:)
    She looks wonderful..the boys are great too:)

    Susan..the wee one is a friend..I was with him ..in a field and he just looked so adorable:)Ours are adorable too but not so blond like the sunflowers and goldenrod and wheat ~

    My goodness Kathy..50 lbs! What an achievement..The clubs were Lulus bday present:)

    Thank you for your nice comments everyone..Have a wonderful evening..

    That's lovely, Monique..
    Keeping good thoughts for the new baby!
    I have black eyed Susans. I took some from my mom's house when we sold it..
    They never grew...Then I dug up a lily to move, and lo and behold there were Susan's the next year.
    It was like she was telling me, "You planted them in the wrong spot!"
    They always make me think of her...

    Ta mosaïque jaune est une merveille de lumière et de douceur. Les tournesols sont déjà tout secs chez nous... malgré le temps magnifique et chaud d'hier, ça sent l'automne.
