Reprieve....

After the hot and windy weekend, this cool-down is quite blissful!!!

The last couple of days I have had the time to lovingly tend to my friends....

Meet...."Pow Wow"

Say hello to "Sunshine"!

Let me introduce you to "Purple Showers"...

All these buddies are enjoying this short-lived coolness!  True, they prefer the heat, but doesn't everyone love a little reprieve?

Happy Campers!

All this heat is really making for some happy campers at The Garden Gallery!!!

Take a peek at the "flower power" page for more pretty plants!!!

There is a very nice selection of annuals, perennials, tropicals and veggies waiting for you!

ALSO....check out the new art on the "art" page, and of course....I've added more family pictures!  It's a big week for the Minnick's as Ben is graduating!  We've been busy with State Track, Honors Night, Graduation and all that fun stuff!  

Here's to happy camping!

Keep on Rollin'.....

Weepy....

Okay...I really don't even know how to begin explaining what a whirlwind/crazy/wonderful past week this has been.  I am so very humbled by the amazing turn-out and the very kind words that were shared at the 6th Annual....BEER, BRATS & BEGONIAS!  New friends. old (high school friends) and FAMILY all came out to celebrate spring!  I do believe we had over 400 people on Sunday....and I am not counting the beautiful people that came to express their love of nature and art beginning about Thursday on...!!!  

Yes.  I am weepy.  My sister asked if it was sad weepy or happy weepy.  It's happy.  

And maybe sleep-deprived weepy. 

For now, I am sharing a few of my dear friend, Tammy's pictures from http://mommylifewith5.blogspot.com/ as I can't even find my camera and she takes much better pictures!  

Three plus trucks are arriving this week....just in time for Mother's Day!

FYI....the greenhouse will be closed tomorrow at about 2:30....this proud momma will be traveling to watch Ben compete in his final track meet before State...DISTRICTS!!!

ELKHORN IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

A little rain didn't stop us from getting our hands dirty!  

Carl did a fabulous job in writing a grant that allowed Elkhorn to help beautify it's streets with 29 planters!  Bursting with color the streets will soon be!!!  Come take a peek!
