blooms!

I thought it would be fun to share with y'all some of the beautiful blossoms around our yard. This one is of my hanging fuchsia plant. I love the bright pink!
Ummmmm, I forgot the name of this plant. we just bought it for like 5 bucks at Lowe's. I love the red and green together. It really brightens up our flower garden.
This is one of our 3 hydrangeas. This one is purpleish-blue. Did you know you can change the color of your hydrangea simply by increasing or decreasing the acidity of your soil? Our other one is bright pink. Kindof like the fuchsia. And the last hydrangea hasn't bloomed yet, as we just bought it, too! Maybe next year we will be able to see what color it comes out!
This is Corrine's choice. It is an Aphrodite Rose of Sharon. It's in the hibiscus family. Hibiscus are really hard to grow here, so when we saw this one, we were excited!
This is a bloom off our passion vine. It's a climbing vine and i must say that it's my favorite. It's sort of exotic and so different than anything I've ever seen.

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
