Lovely flowers...such a pretty color of rose! School doesn't start here until after Labor Day...so the kids still have a little time left!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love this rose color. Kind of salmon. We used to not go back to school till after Labor Day...oh the good old days. LOL. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh, dear! Emma has a decision to make quickly! It is the first day of school in our local system, too! Grandson going into 8th grade in another state begins Friday; granddaughter entering 6th grade must go Thursday for "orientation." Busy days ahead! How did summer pass so quickly?
ReplyDeleteNellie, It just seems so odd for kids to go to school in August..we back in my day we went after Labor Day. LOL...old timer talk. :):) I hope all our loved ones enjoy their school year. I tell my grand to never be mean. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour rose is beautiful. My yard is such a mess. It rains and rains and I can't get anything done out there. Mum usually don't bloom here until late September or early October. I love mums. School doesn't start for another month here. September 5th is their first day. But they go until June 21st.
ReplyDeleteKathy, Some times it seems impossible to do yard work...either too hot or too wet. Where are all the young people who would like to make a few dollars mowing or pulling weeds?? Hooray for your school..starting late...but then there's 3 weeks of June summertime...mm. I like the way it used to be out on Memorial Day and back after Labor Day. Three whole months of summer. Hope you are doing well. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteKathy's rose bush is beautiful. I am wonderful, why do you keep it there at your house? I love the color. The mums are so pretty, and the white angel looks so sweet next to the red mums. Your red mums remind me of Fall, Susie. We used to send MUMS to friends in the classroom during football season. It was a fun tradition, and your red mums reminded me of that. I can't believe Emma is going to be in 8th grade this year. I do hope she has a nice and memorable year.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got a little rain. It's way too hot here. Have a wonderful week, Susie.
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, I keep Kathy's rose...because it was a gift from her son to her on a mother's day when they lived in a different house. Then a few years later..Korey went off to college and Kathy got an apartment and brought the rose here. I have to care for it...it means something..you know. Thank you for the sweet wish for Emma. My little granddaughter is growing up so much. You know she is 5'7" tall now. Thank you for always saying nice things about our yard. Ted is so good about mowing and week whacking..I try to help here and there..like hand pulling out of the flower beds. :) Blessings to you, love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe color of that rose is amazing! My best to Emma as she starts back to school!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen, for the good wishes for Emma this year. I worry for her at times. I want her happy and I always tell her to be good and kind. I love the color of this rose too. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSuch lovely roses and flowers! It has been a while since that yellow school bus pulled up to our drive and our children hopped on it to school! I still see that school bus however, going past the house on down to pick up other children......with the same bus driver that our children had. Hope your daughter has a wonderful happy school year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit..I love this rose that I hold for my daughter. When she moved from one house to an apartment she brought it to me for safe keeping. It was a gift from her son . Emma is our youngest granddaughter. We have three grandkids left in school. Where does the time go? I know what you mean by the school bus...It picks the boy next door up, when he doesn't drive. It makes me feel like crying to think of when he first caught the bus..eleven years ago. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou know I love flowers!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to Emma at school!
Kay, Thank you for the good wishes for Emma. She is our youngest grandchild ...so hard to believe she is in the 8th grade. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteBest wishes to Emma as school starts. So sad to see the kids getting ready to go back to school. I want more summer!!!! Your rose bush looks so pretty. I love the color. Have a great new week.

Kris, It makes me sad to think the kids summer break is ending. I want summer to linger too. We know once it goes fall will go quickly and I am not ready for the cold. Wishing much luck on the work crew there at the new house. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteBeautiful flowers! I love mums! I hover over them all spring and water and tend them and then they die every August and I buy more in September! I think I will just pull them up and save myself a lot of trouble next year!
ReplyDeleteYes, as the grands get older, they are less anxious for us to take their photos. My quads are still at the stage where they say, "MeeMaw! Take my PICTURE!!!" However, as they will be entering Kindergarten later this month, Amber is increasingly concerned about their privacy so I am limited in what photos I can share anymore.
Your Emma used to be the same age as the quads and I have enjoyed watching her grow up!
Love you, Susie Q!!!! Louis Dean said to tell you HI!
Linda, I have bought mums that were small , just to put in pots on the porch, they get thrown out once they are spent for the season. I will miss seeing so many cute photos of the quads. Hard to believe our Emma was that young when she first started stay over. Hurts my heart to think about it. I love all of you like family Linda. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
Delete"she and her best friend had not yet decided what tops to wear today"
ReplyDelete:)
I can't even remember the last time I called a friend to see what they were wearing.
Sandi, I thought Emma and her friend not knowing what they were going to wear the first few days was unheard of.. LOL She end up wearing that top she had on, which I thought was her pj top.LOl She would be up-set, if she thought it looked that bad. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteBeautiful roses..Did you pinch your Mums back in June?? Seems a bit early to me too..Hope you are having a good week..
ReplyDeleteMissy, I forgot all about he pinching the mums back and was going to do that this year. I just hope they last most of autumn. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love the color of the mums....they are stunning! I hope Emma worked-out her wardrobe issues! So cute! Thanks for visiting my blog. You made my day!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting. I think Emma's 1st day went well. I am thankful for that. I love mums , because they are a hardy plant...don't need a lot of fussing. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI hope she has a great year...time is flying isn't it..middle school ....hope she is happy and has a ton of fun!
ReplyDeleteI hope Emma doesn't start liking boys and not get her grades, because she might be all moony eyed. LOL. I do want her to like going to school and learning, she's a smart girl. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHoping her year is a good one. We have only one grand left in school...Deeds will be in 10th grade this yr...three will go back to college this month.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susie, for prayers for us..I really need prayers for strength because since all this happened, I've turned into just a big ole crybaby....
BJ, I thought of your beautiful g.daughter, Deeds, when Mr. Sweet passed. You go ahead and cry, your heart is broken for now. You are love and care for by your family and friends...and your blog family cares too. Sending big hugs to you BJ. Love you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie, I have several of my mums flowering and it is way too early for them...which means we will have an early fall(which I'm not ready for). Your granddaughter looks like she isn't ready either.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Noreen
Noreen, There is no way I am ready for an early fall. I want a looooong summer. LOL Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe flowers are just gorgeous! I love mums, but they're a sign that summer is winding down and that gives me a slight feeling of impending doom as winter, LONG, COLD winter approaches. :-( How can it possibly be time for school to start already?? I do remember the days of trying to decide what to wear to school. :-)
ReplyDeleteJudy, You and I are thinking alike...not anywhere near ready for summer to end, as it seems fall will surely fly by nd then old man winter will be here...bummer. LOL. I think with our local school starting 2-3 weeks , some a month earlier makes summer seem short. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove the pictures of the flowers! School starts here for a lot of students during the week of the 22nd. I was a little surprised they didn't delay it since South Carolina is supposed to have a lot of vistors during the solar eclipse which I think it's the 22nd.
ReplyDeletePilar, I am surprised how quickly school started here, some were a whole month early. My daughter goes back to teaching tomorrow. I wish I could watch the eclipse, as I truly love things of this nature. I think you can see the eclipse by looking at the sidwalks...the amount of coverage will show up in the shadow made by leaves of the trees. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI've been hearing about school closings for the 21st, but I'm not too sure. Looking at sidewalk sounds like a good idea!
DeleteThe rose is so beautiful! I love the color. It's so hard to believe that school is already starting for many. It seems like the summers get shorter every year. Enjoy the rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteCheryl, My father loved that salmon color rose too. Oh I am shocked at the earliness of school starting here. I wonder if the kids notice that it seemed earlier than last year by 2-3 weeks. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Susie, your flowers are gorgeous!! That rose is just stunning! I can't believe school will start in a couple weeks here. My first Great Granddaughter starts this year!!! Whee oh where do these years go???1 Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings

Susie, I loved your comment today, and loved hearing about your daughter's school days. I can't believe they all went to the same school as you did, that's so special. Nel and Jess went to the same grade school as me for one year, then we moved to the other side of town. We lived with my mom until our house was built, so my mom loved having us for that year. How delightful that your daughter still has her Donnie Osmond lunch box. Every time I see cute lunch boxes out there, I want to buy one cause I never had one growing up hehehe.
ReplyDeleteYou should do a post about your school memories, Susie. It was a fun post to do.
~Sheri
Beautiful mum color. I hope Emma has a good year. My granddaughter Emma's birthday was yesterday. She's 16 now, Susie! 16! How did that happen?
