Peace and Summer Blooms

My friends, we have had a very busy Spring and Summer.  This week there were no appointments or plans.. it's been peaceful.  I'm still going swimming and we have run a few errands.. but it's been low-key.  Several of our potted plants and roses are in bloom, so I thought I'd share with you.  Stargazer lilies are special to me, they are exotically beautiful, and extravagantly perfumed.  We have several of them ready to bloom, but this is the first one to open.  :-)  (My camera was being charged so these are all taken on my iPhone.)
Here is one of my new roses that I got from Heirloom roses - isn't it gorgeous?  Fragrant, too.
The Bell flowers that Kristi found and planted for me. 
The 4th of July roses are having a wonderful second bloom.. :-) 
This is one of the roses my son planted for us.  The cupped petals are interesting. 
This is the bud of the same rose.. very beautiful. 
I have some sad news, my beloved kitty Lucy is not doing well.  Hubby is taking her to the vet this afternoon while I'm swimming.  I will let you know what we find out.  She's been the best cat I've had in my longish life.  So cute, soft and sweet.  Thank you for visiting.  Hugs, Teresa

    What sad news about your kitty, I really hope you have some good news. Our cat has been poorly for some time too, lots of vet visits which caused stress for him and for us as we just want him to be better. :o( I am sending positive thoughts your way, Teresa!

    Prayers and positive thoughts for Lucy. I'm happy to hear you're taking it easy now; you have been very busy! We're planning an easy, peaceful weekend ourselves. We've been so busy with friends, parties, home improvement projects and such...all wonderful but it gets exhausting sometimes.

    Dear Teresa ... Sorry to hear that Lucy isn't well - hope the vet can help her. It's always horrible when our fur babies are sick. As usual your photos are lovely - the iPhone does a good job! Take care of yourself and enjoy your few days of rest. Xox

    Always lovely flower on your home front. I so enjoy looking at all your pretty pics. So sorry to hear about Lucy, please keep us informed. I didn't tell any of you on my blog, but we lost my sweet rescue kitty...remember....MiMi, she got out of the house shortly after her delivery of 4 kittens, she wonder into the neighbors yard....they have a German Shepard...and it did not end well for her. She is greatly missed!
    Hugs, Shari

    Hi Teresa! So glad you're having some rest and relaxation. You have such a busy, busy life. Your flowers are so beautiful, especially the roses. I adore roses.

    I'm sorry to hear about your Lucy kitty. I'll be praying that Dayle found out good news since I'm a bit late to be reading your post.

    Wish I could be with you and visit again. Maybe soon.

    Blessings,
    Betsy
