Sunday Is Better....

  Apple blossoms on the neighbor's  trees. Sorry this is blurring.  I love apple blossoms. Well my goodness, I think I am becoming more and more like my mother. Do any of you find yourself becoming like your moms? :)  My mom loved every flowering tree she saw.

  This is our flowering plum bush. I love the burgundy leaves and delicate pink flowers. I do not find a lot of fragrance in this flower.  I like having  bright limey greens, dark greens, and burgundy colors throughout our yard. So when there is no flowers, you can still have color.
    Thank you dear friends , for all the prayers for Ted's brother Ray. He will be getting a new biopsy on Monday. We have been visiting him at the hospital. He looked better last evening, I think because he had finally had some rest. He said the pain has kept him restless and unable to sleep.
    Wishing you a beautiful Sunday. XO

    1. Kris, I just love driving along and seeing all the flowering trees in yards, or along the edge of woods. It was good to know that Ray did rest during the night. I don't mind saying, I am so scared for him. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  11. I find that the older I get, the more I think I am like my Mother. Usually, I feel that is a compliment. When igo to visit my sister in the town we grew up in, I run into so many and they always say - oh you remind us so much of your Mother. And I always say - thank you.

    Love all the pretty flowering trees.

    Glad Ray is improving.

    1. Gert, I thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts. Cancer is an extremely ugly disease. There is just so much a person can to try to keep from getting it...then you never know, because of the many different kinds out there.
      I have loved reading how some think they are exactly like their moms. Some in ways and others in looks and actions too. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  14. I was going to blog but I feel funny about writing some pointless meanderings but then again maybe it will take my mind off of Beth. I know your family is going through a troubling time and I hope his fortunes change for the better.

    1. Boston Boy, I blogged even when my own brother was so sick and then passed. It's almost like therapeutic . Many people suffer as we suffer...same pain and broken hearts, the same sense of loss. Maybe some can offer kind words to help. I wish I could give you a hug Paul...I know that Beth Marie was a dear friend to you. She cared about your friendship too. Blessing to you, xoxo,Susie

  15. Susie, I didn't know about Ted's brother. I will read the previous post after.

    Yes, I find that I am just like my mom in many ways as I get older......and when I used to sigh about it, now I am so glad because she was a good woman. I really miss that funky girl sometimes. :~)

    love, ~Sheri
