inspirational grasses

natural grasses growing wild.

grass in the distant...adding to the overall depth of this cheekwood photo.

white grasses...up close and personal.

i am so blessed to live in a beautiful part of the american countryside. tennessee.

the lands surrounding us are just like living inside a painting....exquisite.

grass among the mint.

i am very technically challenged so i accidentally changed my formatting on blogger thinking i was updating to the latest advances on blogger...but with my sister's help, meems@ hoe and shovel...i was able to go back and change it...whew! i did not like the newer version.

i also entered the ggw (gardening gone wild) photo contest for september . since doing this, i have gone and looked at all the entries....glad i didn't before i posted. otherwise i probably wouldn't have entered. but having said this i am now thinking of all the beautiful grass photos shot over the summer....i can't really take the credit...after all God did the creating i just happened by and photographed them.

sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.

sunshine almost always gets me high.

grasses in the distant.

happiness is: all in the grasses.

hidden grass..... crouching dog.

three grasses and a weed...
instead of three men and a baby. way better stuff.

kentucky blue grass with ironweed.

i wish everyone who entered the best.

happy september days.

a few of my favourite things

as you know our family likes to celebrate....so for my birthday

(it's really next week)we did it marmee style.

pj's are a must....then my good friend, maday, agreed to make cuban food...one of my faves.

# 2

having family around me is absolutely necessary. this has to be #1.

what goes better with cuban food than cuban bread...thank goodness they sell it here now.

thanks publix.

#3

our entertainment for the night....slightly off girls doing cabaret.

#5

lots of closeness is on the list.......#?....oh well it's right up there with # 1

okay so drawing on the chalkboard wasn't on my list but

definitely on ellery's.

# 7...squeezing in together.

on the top of the  list....did i mention cuban food.

hot sauce is  a given especially when cuban food is served. #6

# 9  & 13

 candlelight & sons.

laughing, dancing, and generally doing anything that makes you happy. #8

fried chicken....cuban style.

# 4...hugging

i guess this should be # 1 but shhhh i really could bypass the cake as long as there is cuban food.

let them eat cake....homemade by rachel....german chocolate cake. #12

not a bad thing to be made to do.

watching movies # 10 in p.j.'s while cuddling with

your favourite movie buddy.

a touch of homemade sangria....a touch of being silly.

#7 & 11

oh so much fun....and there were presents.....that was all their idea.

# 14 cards with endearing remarks...i love them...gotta have those.

all made together for one of the best celebrations....ever.

there was one thing missing....the rest of my fl family.

we will have to make up for it on our next visit together.

september blessings to all.
