This was our weekend for the annular eclipse. A perfect view in Albuquerque. "Annular" refers to a perfect ring. And everything about the event was perfect.
One of the new youngsters in the family tried to climb a large tree and fell back awkwardly onto the lawn. I let out a good laugh. The nine year old turned to me and said, "I've never had a grown-up laugh when I fell out of a tree." I was thinking, "And I've never heard a child your age hear a horse whinny and ask 'what was that?'" Who would guess that these days simply being outside could be an adventure.
Today feels more Monday than usual.
We're exhausted! But in a good way.
I hope your week is off to an awesome and shining start!

Hi Jacqueline: Totally missed the eclipse. Couldn't even watch the Celebrity Apprentice, we were so tired. But I do enjoy your beautiful pieces of treasures. Thanks for showing me what I missed..Happy Monday..Judy
ReplyDeleteI just love, love, love the pictures. I had to chuckle also about the child that didn't know about horse sounds... Isn't it a strange day we live in? Hope your Monday is restful.
ReplyDeleteChildren and their amazing commentary never fail to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteThat pic of the eclipse is amazing!!!!!! WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky to have seen the eclipse. East of the Mississippi was apparently not the place to be for eclipse viewing!

...and I'll use the word perfect too...a perfect post! Filled with beauty in each photo and personal words to inspire us. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful flowers for your celebration (both the live ones and on your fabulous china). Looks like you had a special weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got to see the eclipse there. It was not visible here in the northeast and I didn't even hear about it! We had the best weather this weekend with wall to wall sunshine from Thursday through today and temperatures in the 80's, which is rare for May here. It's been glorious! However, it must come to an end with showers the next 2 days. Your photos are beautiful as are the roses. Enjoy the week. Pamela
ReplyDeleteEverything does look PERFECT...glad the weekend went so well!
ReplyDeleteYour yard is gorgeous, as are all of your photos! Thanks for the eclipse photo. Of course, here in the Pacific NW, we were under a very thick, dark layer of clouds, as usual, and couldn't see a thing. We had a few days of sun and warmth last week and it was great, but back to wintry conditions. Thanks for your beautiful blog!! Kay
ReplyDeleteToo cloudy here! But I can enjoy all your lovely pictures just fine. No a cloud in sight right now! ♥♫
ReplyDeleteyour pic of the eclipse is amazing, jacqueline! lovely roses and garden pics, too!
ReplyDeleteLovely garden wall with roses a bloom.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about what you thought when the nine year old said that:) Everything turned out beautiful for your special day!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't see the eclipse here in Pa. loved the picture of it!

It sounds (and looks!) like you had a wonderful time, Jacqueline. I'm glad the weather was fair for your special weekend. Such beautiful china, linen and of course those roses! Take care.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect way to kick off summer! I am looking forward to spending more time outdoors and away from my computer and television!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love coming to your blog. Your photos are beautiful and I love seeing how you put together and bits and pieces. We, too, enjoyed the eclipse in AZ. No one else to share it with but our far-away children loved the photo of us in our goggles. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteClimbing a tree (and falling) is a "must do" childhood adventure! I used to hang on the maple tree limbs upside down by my knees.LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining me at Home Sweet Home!
