Spring Flowers

Jacquelyn's irises are all in bloom now.

 Each year she gets more and more.  It started out with one flower one year and eventually took over this entire small hill..  They seem to really flourish here.

  They only bloom for a short time each May.

Also we have flowers in the back yard next to our dainty Japanese maple.

 We also have flowers on the deck.

 Flowers in the boat.

And also tomatoes.  There're not so pretty, but the'll make up for that by tasting good in a sandwich.

We were surprised to see a baby rabbit in the back yard this morning.  Good  news for the wildlife, bad news for the garden.

Mother's Day in Spokane

Happy Mother's Day to Jacquelyn.  It's not easy to raise eight children.  She did a great job and we all love her very much.  She's a wonderful mother.

 We were in Spokane on Mother's Day so she got to spend the day with Tianna and Caleb and some grandchildren.  She also got to speak on the phone with Talitha, Joshua, Nathanael, Malachi, Doranda and Isaac.  What great children.

Happy Mother's Day to Tianna also - here with James.
