Anniversary Greetings and Sunday Photo Blogging

Happy Anniversary to my brother Tom and my sister-in-law Charlotte, who are celebrating seven years of marriage today.

************

Today's pictures are some that I took in my yard, just for fun.

The first two are of some of my daylilies:



The third is of one of my white crepe myrtles, which just bloomed for the first time this year:



The last is of my poor overloaded peach tree:


Some of the peaches are finally getting ripe enough to be picked, so I'm hoping it won't look this way too much longer.

Sunday Photo Blogging

Today's photo:


This is one small part of the garden at my grandparents' house in Kentucky from the summer of 1962. Both of my grandparents (or maybe just my grandfather--my memory is a little fuzzy) enjoyed gardening and they had quite a few large flower beds around their house as well as a pretty big vegetable garden.

Sunday Photo Blogging

Still working on sorting photos, and I've got one storage box almost full. I'm slowly bringing order out of chaos, but there's still an awful lot of chaos to deal with. (I've also got several trays of slides and a lot of older postcards that I want to sort and scan, so I'm going to be working on this for a long, long time).

Speaking of photos, I've decided to start scanning and posting some of them, beginning with this one:


This was taken at my grandparents' house in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky (which is in the northern part of the state, right across the river from Cincinnati). I'm not sure exactly when it was taken (the back of the photo only says "September"), but I'm guessing it was sometime in the early 1960s.
