A Blessed Sunday To All

All of your flowers
are so very beautiful
this morning as usual!
My flower is called a Mosquito Geranium!

[MEG33]

Good Morning, jaycee

Thank you... I love to post flowers!
Lovely colors, unusual Geranium. Since I joined the
internet age..I have learned there are so many different
kinds and colors of geraniums.
There is much to see and learn about.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

Such a beautiful message this morning, Mr. Mayor! Thanks so much and have a very blessed Sunday!

"True friends are like diamonds—precious and rare."

AMEN!

[jaycee]

I saw geraniums that were so beautiful that I have never laid eyes on. They must be available in certain areas of the United States because they are never for sale here! Or I would surely try them!

[MEG33]

I have, too...I did see some single flower geraniums beside a historic home here...They are not so showy as the big ball of blooms that I am accustomed to..but the colors and “designs” on the petals were lovely.

Your Post is Lovely, Meg!

[MEG33]

Good Morning, Kitty...Thank you!

What a lovely, serene scene. I am so very happy you have this
new addition to the King's Ranch
Thank you for it and the beautiful scripture.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

Blessings for an august Sunday.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Capt. Michael Scott Speicher, USN, KIA 17JAN1991

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Apple Blossom Rosebud Geranium
Queen Victoria's Favorite Flower

[MEG33]

Good Morning, yorkie

WOW..That is just luscious!..Fit for a Queen indeed.
Thank you!
Wishing you a wonderful Lord's Day.

All your flowers are so beautiful, today, Meg!

After all the comments about geraniums this morning, I had to go visit Mr. “G”. There, I found so MANY varieties - but for some reason, the Appleblossom Rosebud kept showing up.

Funny thing about these flowers - they can be unrecognizable as geraniums.....where a daisy looks like a daisy, a rose like a rose, a lily like a lily - no matter what the given name is. But, not geraniums. Looking at some, I would never have guessed that they were “Pelargoniums”.

[MEG33]

I love to go “hunting”..I’m happy you did..
I may have to do Geranium thank yous next!

[Lady Jag]

A blessed Sunday to you, too. Thank you!

The lighting on those flowers is breathtaking.

Wish I could take credit for the photography.

[Lady Jag]

Endless is right! That’s quite a link you found, thank you! It says the butterfly stands for everything (good luck, bad luck, no luck) except what I’m trying to confirm!

I know it is true that putting a butterfly on your house means or meant the mortgage is paid off. Maybe it’s a regional thing or an ethnic thing. I’m not sure I’ll be able to let go of this till I get a clue. We’re paying off our house this month.

[MEG33]

Good hunting! It could be a regional thing.
Congratulations...I love not having a mortgage.
