We are still seeing a few hummingbirds

She has been going back and fourth eating from our new bird feeder. We love to watch the birds in our back yard.

A mama bird we have been watching from our deck. She has been taking good care of her babies.

Proud Grandparents

We became grandparents on Sunday, September 5th,2010. Baby Uri Alexander Alford was born. He weighed 8lbs and 3 ounces, and was 21 1/2 inches long. He is such a sweet baby. I know Josh and Lisa are going to be wonderful parents.
A proud granddad.

Josh, Lisa, and Uri Alford , a sweet family.

My mom made that sweet little baby blanket.

My sunflower is now completely open. I just think they are so pretty and they are all blooming.

Beautiful Sunflowers

One more day and it should be completely open. Hope you have a happy week-end and enjoy the little things life has to offer.

Slowly opening up.

Well something likes this 100 degree Texas heat. My sunflowers are loving it.

Inn on the Creek

I just had to share one of my favorite places to visit. Fredericksburg, Texas is just one of the sweetest little towns. I love the shopping, walking down the streets and the relaxed atmosphere of this little town. I especially enjoyed celebrating our 31st anniversary with my sweet guy, ( he is the best!). We stayed at Inn on the Creek, a neat little Bed and Breakfast,
we were there with 5 other guest. We enjoyed getting to know them at breakfast.

The best part of staying here was the delicious breakfast prepared by Carolyn, she was so sweet to visit with and was kind enough to share a great recipe. This B&B was located one block of Main Street where all the shops were located. I would recommend it to any one, visit http://www.absolutecharm.com/ to find out about great places to stay.
This was a beautiful old oak tree in the garden.

Even with all the high temperatures in Texas, it was nice at night.

Beautiful outside gardens and a hot tub to relax in after a day of shopping.

Love that chandelier.

Each room is decorated different. I wish I had pictures of all the rooms. Ours was the Tuscan, Look at all the pillows.
