10.10.10 Celebration

Did you smile at the thought of  

 10.10.10 
[October 10, 2010]

and then considered this date deserved a celebration?

Well it does!

October 10, 2010 is...

This Grandmothers Garden
Six Month Anniversary. 
(It would have been way more cool if it was my 10th.)

To celebrate this grand milestone 
I have finally found the time needed to accept the invitation from

Frances from Island Threads

Kate from High Altitude Gardening 

to join the bloggers game of sharing my list of 10 things I enjoy.

Here we go! 
Hang on for the ride...



  My Sweetheart

He's my best friend, my eternal companion 
and he can still cut through big rocks with his shovel.




Being a Mother of Many

It's my life's greatest joy
and that includes everything that goes with this sacred calling. 
I delight in it, 
I rejoice in it 
and I’m forever challenged by it.




 My Children... 
they are my symphony!


♪  ♫ ♪  ♫  ♪  ♫
♫  ♪  ♫

And I’m so thankful they are all on key. (Most of the time.)




My Grandchildren

Their hugs and kisses are the best of paydays. 




Discovering New Life in my Gardens 
Tiny miracles that always bring joy.




Teaching Piano Lessons

 Watching as my students discover the magic 
of “tickling the ivories”. 



Flowers of Every Variety

The miracle of a blossom will always bring delight.
How blessed I am to be able to garden.




Mountains 
 
Their majesty brings solace to my soul. 
(My view each morning as I look up from my back porch.)



Halloween 
 My favorite holiday. 
It brings out the witch in me.
Yes, this is really me.
I have such fun!



Early Morning in my Gardens

 
The magic hour. 
 Indescribable as to why – you just have to experience it for yourself. 
Your garden, or mine?

♥♥♥

 There you have it!
 
I'm sending this on to 10 more bloggers to give the game a try:

VW Garden
Ginny's Garden
A Tiny Homestead
Cultivated Garden
Leaping Greenly
Garden Walk GardenTalk
Ramblings From A Desert Garden
Empty Nest Garden and Quilts
Ginkgo Grass
Leaves 'n Bloom


It's your turn to give it a whirl!

  5. Nice post. I have been too busy to do the same thing. Wish I had. I have some hydrangeas to move and I hate to think what my back will be like when I get through, so maybe you could send your helper over to my house?

  10. Dear Meredhuit, How time flies when one is enjoying oneself!! Congratulations on reaching a six month milestone. A weblog is a curious thing in that in so many ways it takes on a life of its own and is so difficult to control.

    Your 10 things gave me such an insight to your life. Such simple pleasures are really the best!

  11. Oh you've some great photos there and I have just seen my name on the list lol. I loved that little nest with the blue wool woven with the twigs. You are so blessed with those grandchildren of yours.

    It might take me a few days to get a post organised for this but I will get one put together soon but I need to get my Garden bloggers bloom day post done first :)
