The Princess, the Witch and the Dragon

We took a short trip to the 'Boo'tanical gardens today. Asher Dean, the Dragon, brought his Princess Mommie and The Good Witch Kendall came too.

Oranges and Lemons

I have loved this new addition to the garden this year. It is called "Oranges and Lemons"

Gaillardia. This flower has been in bloom all summer and even still into October.

Merritt is on the Mend!

Our sweet old Dog, Merritt, gave us a bit of a scare last weekend. She couldn't get up off her back legs nor could she breath well. Poor thing went into a bit of a panic. We had to stroke her back off and on throughout the night to help keep her calm. I couldn' t believe how emotional I felt at the thought of Merritt suffering or at worst being put to sleep. I love that our Vet was able to give her something to heal her. She is back to her tail - wagging, food - loving self. She is one of our Heavenly Father's creations that bring us so much JOY.

She is a Joyful creation too!

Kendall's Homecoming Dress 2009

I'm glad Kendall loves this dress because the plaid was so difficult to match up. We just couldn't pass up this beautiful silk fabric.

These shoes cost more than the dress. :)

Kendall had a great time having dinner at Mellow Mushroom before the dance.
