Early Morning Weeder

When our youngest son, Dalan told us that he and his fiancé, Sam (Short for Samantha) wanted to be married in the gardens of our Highland home I was elated.

After all, three of our children have been married there.

We still own this home, and he rents it from us.

The first year after we moved I maintained the gardens.  This year I decided it was just too much and to let my son take the wheel.

Now, I’m not boasting; but over the years this home has won two Highland Fling garden awards and was featured in two garden tours.

He really had done a pretty good job, but
OH, MAMA has been away too long!

The backyard didn’t require much, but the front needed a little TLC.

So, as of late; I have become an early morning weeder.  You know how some people like to wake up early and read a bit?  Same idea only I weed, and edge.

After about 20 hrs. the old place didn’t look too bad.

The wedding was wonderful, and the Bride and Groom stunning!

Sam’s cousin, Heather took her pictures.  Look at some of these gorgeous bridals.

These were taken in the Salt Lake State Capital Building.

It was a wonderful evening!

Old Man Wind blew frightfully hard for a few minutes and we had dark clouds with a tiny sprinkle or two.

Then the grey skies turned to blue and the air was ever so still.

I so enjoyed seeing old neighbors, family and friends.  What a joyous occasion!

The wedding reception couldn't have been more beautiful. The yard was stunning. How I envy those trees--shade is so wonderful in the summer.

Glad the wind stopped blowing. I was worried. The bride looked beautiful and Dallin so handsome. He sure looks like his dad.

Rest now. You deserve it.

You have got to miss that yard. It is so cute. I can see your hand in the decorating. Recognize some of your treasures. Very cute. Wish I could have been there. The bride was beautiful, love her hat. She reminds me of Tina Smith, Cherry Hill Cottage lady.(maybe when she was younger?) Looking forward for more pics.

The wedding was beautiful. I was so glad the wind stopped and it was calm and a very nice evening to be out doors. The bride and groom were gorgeous and I just have to say you and Shultz looked fabulous too. The gardens looked wonderful. I was so glad I got to attend and see all the prettiness. You do really good work Jann!
