Just a Weed

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 20 June 2007 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

This is another "Just A..." image. This is just a weed from my garden of Daylilies that is entwined with a vine also in my garden. Looks like I need to get out there and clean things up a bit.

Yesterday we celebrated Russell's 17th Birthday and today we celebrated Jon's "Graduation" from Middle School. Next year Russell and Jon will both be in High School, Russ as a Senior and Jon as a Freshman. We will be empty nesters before too long...sigh...time flies!

Soft beautiful colors and framing...
While packing I came across all the kids old pictures, I know what you mean about time flying, my boys used to be sooooo tiny. : )

@Jen: Thanks.

They grow to fast, like weeds!...it's just not fair, although I have to say it's fun to see them become adults. It's interesting to see how they are compared to how they were and how I imagined they would be as older teens and young adults. They are all bigger than me and their dad now.
