Flowers and A Pothole

We've had a few flowers and a big pothole around here lately.

These are larkspur in our front yard.  Really pretty flowers - and so many.  I cropped the picture pretty good since I doubt if you'd really want to see all the thistles that are growing in with them too.  I guess I could wade in there and pull the thistles out but I'm not really keen on having slithery, creepy, crawly things find their way up my pants legs either.

We've also had a little bit of a rocky road lately - actually a big pothole - but we're slowly climbing out of it once again.  Hopefully all will be better soon.  One day at a time.......

I'll be by blogs as soon as I can so hang in there with me.

Thanks for stopping by........
Lynn

  4. Beautiful flowers Lynn..my flowers are dying off now with the colder temps coming ready for winter, so guess I will have to venture out and get rid of all the dead stuff and get ready to plant the pansies and other things for Winter flowering...Hope your pothole soon fills with happiness..take care.

  9. Wow, is this ever pretty!
    It is spring here too but all we have so far is little sprigs of green grass, tiny buds on trees and perennial shoots just peeking through the ground.
    Hang in there... I think about you lots and wonder how you and Jim are managing and am glad to hear you are coping. It's never easy for anyone but like you said, one day at a time.

  12. Oh my look at all those beautiful flowers! I love this view Lynn! Just as I imagine it would look around your yard! Love the antique wagon wheel on the edge of the flowers, so country and so beautiful! I'm praying that you will be out of this pot hole completely very soon. Big hugs to you and Jim!! Brenda
    PS: I think I confused these flowers with birds didn't I?!! lol I'm always good for a laugh Lynn!

  14. What amazingly beautiful larkspur! I was just reading about the blue bonnets on (the other!) Lynn's blog and ya'll just have the most beautiful shades to your flowers. Hang in there, sweet friend - Grandma used to tell me that He will never tempt you with more than you can bear .... hang tight and blessings to you! ♥

  15. I've been wondering if everything was OK. Hope better days are ahead! Love the larkspur. Isn't it nice to see them out your window! We have wisteria growing here that looks a little like this but upside down and growing on vines wrapped in the trees!

  29. Love the flowers! Here in the poor country, we are surrounded by dirt roads with millions of potholes and then paved roads with giant potholes. A truck almost hit me the other day when it swerved at the last minute. Luckily, when I get to the next two counties, they have more money and it is easier. I think of it as an analogy to life - we have to know where those pesty things are and avoid them! LOL! Many hugz
