Welcome to my weekly smile! I was out on my morning walk this week and just loved how the sun was coming up behind the trees! It just had a glow as I was walking so I couldn’t resist and had to take this photo. We had a couple of sunny days early in the week and as the week is ending lots of clouds and threat of rain. It has been very cool and I am enjoying every day. I know the heat will be coming and so enjoying these Spring days. I am also enjoying my blooms, so many flowers! I decided to take some photos to share because they all make me smile. π
I am heading out tomorrow to see my family in Arizona! YAY! β€ I am so excited to see them and I will be babysitting so my son and his wife can take a day and celebrate their anniversary. I shared last weekend some really cute photos of my grandchildren and if you missed it you can click here to visit. I am so happy that I have the entire weekend off and I can travel and not feel sleepy from working night shift. I am so enjoying my new job, and can’t say enough how happy I am that I made the decision to leave my old job. There is so much that makes me smile these days, I am just so grateful and happy. Back to my photos, here are some flowers I thought you might like! π



I plan on working in my garden and plant more flowers. I mentioned before I was not going to grow veggies but as I have been thinking about it I may plant just tomatoes. I Love home grown tomatoes and so I am thinking of giving them another try in a container. Do you have a favorite veggie you like to grow? or flowers? I know there is so much to choose from. I remember my Mom had gardenia’s in our yard and I just LOVE the smell of gardenia’s! I am thinking of planting in containers and I have some shady spots for them because I know they can’t take direct sun and summer heat. I also remember the artichoke plants my Mom grew. I love artichokes, definitely one of my favorites but would have to investigate if they would be worth planting and growing.
I want to thank you for visiting my smile post this week. I am excited about my weekend and am hoping you all have a ton of things that make you smile too! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am going to end with my sweet pony. I took this photo of her earlier this morning. It was a very cloudy day, but I thought it a cute photo and decided to share. She brings me many smiles and helps keep me sane! Love my sweet Chloe! β€
Smiling Happy Grandma!

The sun looks a little cheeky hiding behind the tree. I love how spring is springin for you, the flowers are so pretty the real flowery flowery one looks like a star jasmine, does it have a scent? Our jasmine has finished flowering but the smell is delish. Everything you want to plant sounds deliciously smelly & tasty. Love the gooey look Chloe is giving you. Have a magical sparkly fun time with your family. You Spring chicken cow gal you. (;

I Love star jasmine but this isn’t one or if it is related it doesn’t smell like the other blooming Jasmine that I’ve had. I have to admit the flowers look similar. Hmm… I’ll have to find out what it is exactly! Lol
You always make me giggle, Love your comments! I hope as you head into Fall you enjoy it as much as we enjoy the Spring! β€οΈ I’m enjoying my family in Arizona as I arrived today! These grandkids are so ADORABLE!! π

Oh I forgot. Last year we stopped doing a vegetable garden and just did tomatoes. We’ll probably do that again, as you are right, nothing as good as a home grown tomato!
