Photo Dump

I have no theme for today, just some pictures I wanted to share with you all.


This photo was taken about 10 years ago and is of Alaina pushing Ruby on the swing.  It's hung on our fridge ever since because we love seeing the joy in it.
Now, Connor is about the same age as Ruby was there, so we hung the baby swing up again and tried to get a similar picture.





Here's Cassie and Connor.  Now I can add this to the fridge!






Most of our flowers are fading this time of year, but some are still showing some color.  The bright purple ones you see here are called Fall Crocus.  They pop up with just some green leaves in the Spring, then die back, but in the fall they pop out again with this beautiful color.






I noticed this pretty scene while walking, a neighbors bird house with morning glories blooming around it.







Isn't this butterfly in our back yard pretty?








This is a pretty little spot in the woods that I like to walk in.  Despite the warm temperatures we've been having, it's starting to look like Fall.

That's all I have today, thanks for letting me catch up on my pics!

Aww how sweet the photos are of your grands! The newest one of Conner and Cassie is darling. I’d love to walk that path - so enchanting as it opens up at the end. The blue butterfly up against the pink flowers are really pretty. Thanks for sharing your photo dump

Hi Mari, I love how you re created the swing picture. I like to walk in the woods. But there aren’t any near me. I need a drive to the local mountains. when I am better. Have a great week!

What cute photos to have on your refrigerator. Boy they sure grow up fast dont they. Your random pics were just beautiful too. I need to find some of those Fall Crocus. They look so nice this time of year in your garden. Janice

Sweet pictures of the children.
Our fall is early this year I think the heat and lack of rain has done it in.

Love the pictures of your Grands! I see the joy in all four of their faces. The flowers in your backyard are so pretty...especially having those beautiful colors in autumn! I wasn't aware there was such a thing as fall crocus until about a week ago when someone at church mentioned that theirs were blooming. I need some of those! :) Have a great week, my friend!

Catherine said...

I am now wondering just how many PHOTOS I have dumped into my 3 blogs over 15 years.. love the blue b-fly! your flowers are gorgegous and I would like to amble through the woods. way to hot here, still in the 90's each day but cooler mornings the babies in the swings most certainly sing out JOY... I love those little legs in the cute little baby shoes. for some reason tiny shoes call out to me

I love your photos and thanks for sharing those of your grandchildren. It's fun seeing Alaina and Ruby when they were little. I didn't recognize them:)

Oh, the photos of your grands are priceless. I can hear Connor's giggles all the way over here on the West Coast !
Gorgeous butterfly and blooms. I would love to walk on the path too.

Loved this so so much! Photos are treasures, aren't they? The swinging pics are so precious. It's been unseasonably warm here too but seeing some leaves turn. We sure could use some moisture though! Blessings on your week ahead. xo

The first and second ones are just wonderful.

All the best Jan

Sweet photos of your grands :)

I'm sorry to be late getting here! I was lazy yesterday, but no excuse! Great pictures of the kiddos. Cassie isn't quite as animated as Alaina was, pushing Ruby, but the cuteness factor is beyond measurement!! That path in the woods looks so peaceful. I would love taking a walk there, too! Have a blessed week, Mari!! (I sent that email I mentioned.) xo

I do enjoy your photos and descriptions. And your cute grandkids. And beautiful property. Flowers. I loved too how you got the photo of a butterfly!

Great-Granny Grandma said...

Those swing pictures are great. The joy on Ruby's face, and Connor's smile.
My other favorite is the one of the birdhouse.

Nicole Orriëns said...

Oh, I just love the joy on their faces in the swing! It's beautiful.

So precious, the sibling pictures! There cannot be enough of those. Your flowers are so poignant this time of year! I noticed y'all had been having summer-like temps! I think your daytime highs have been higher than ours!~ xoxo
