Heart Bouquet and Birthday Wishes

Every time I walk outside and see this, I think it looks like a heart :-)
 I've been a little under the weather this week, so I haven't been able to get around to visit many of you.  
Thanks so much to everyone who entered my giveaway. There's still time to enter here.  
I'll be posting the winner on Friday :-) Good luck!
We've got lots of flowers blooming right now. 
I love the pink edges on these mums.
A special "Happy Birthday" to my Dad! He's turning 85 tomorrow.
You can read about this wonderful man here if you'd like :-)
  Blessings to all of you,
Marcia

    The flowers are lovely, Marcia...and the heart shaped mums are quite special!

    Happy Birthday to your dad! Tell him that any man who has a grown child as wonderfully loving, kind and spiritual as you, and, in turn, some downright fabulous grandkids, is building one fine legacy!!

    Oh, it IS a heart shaped bundle of flowers! How sweet.... Your other flowers are so pretty. Mine are withering away. Of course, if I had watered them a little more, they might still be thriving.... LOL

    I'm severely jealous of your beautiful flowers. We are just being freed from the first snowfall and may have a warm week a head of us. It's a tease though as -30C is just around the corner.

    Happy Birthday to your Dad, 85 years young! I hope you feel better. I feel like it is a matter of time as I see this cold/flu work its way through the house.
    We are going to Magic Mountain of Friday, Do you guys do that?
    I was just wondering.
    Your mums look gorgeous. It feels like November today. The air seems damp.
    Get better soon.

    Hi Marcia,
    Happy birthday to your dear Dad! I will say a prayer that his day is a blessed one, and one also for you to feel better.
    Thank you for your sweet prayers for my daughter, Beth, and baby Sophie! They came home yesterday from the hospital and are doing well. Sophie had a little bit of jaundice, but today the lab results show it is getting better.
    Have a wonderful day,
    xoxo Gloria @}~`}~~~
    p.s. your flowers are beautiful. LOVE those pink edged mums!!!

    HI Marcia,
    That was such a nice tribute to your Dad! I went back and read last year's post about him. How sweet...he looks and sounds like a wonderful man. I lost my 80 year old Dad July 3 to a sudden heart attack. I am now missing him and all the events and holidays without him. Thank you for sharing about your dad!!
