Friday Fences

According to the story Frederick Meijers built this house and the surrounding as a birthday present to his wife. He made it sure it is a replica of his wife's childhood house. How sweet of her husband right? You can find this house inside the Frederick Meijers Gardens and Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids Michigan

Is the Meijers of the grocery chain? We have several of them in Louisville. Does this house look out over water? The artchitecture just seems to have that in mind. And what a romantic gesture, Mr. Meijers! Your photos are so clean and crisp and capture those soft colors so well.

That is a really lovely house and the fence sets it off beautifully. The history is the icing on the cake.

Thanks to Ms. L for driving us and preparing our lunch because we had a sumptuous lunch as well as a good laugh. Here are the photos that we took.

Couple's Corner: Jealousy

Image
So it's another couple's corner meme once again and this time it is all about jealousy. I am thinking of the 8 years that I have known my hubby (2 years of chatting, 1 year engaged, 5 years of marriage) wala namang grabeng nangyari sa amin in terms of jealousy but ONCE and will tell the story later so hang on hehe. I am the kind of person who trust a person without any doubt, even with friends what you see is what you get but if you broke that trust I would never care nor look at you as in talagang wala na. But in marriage pala we can't just say "that's it" or "this is it", we have to listen to one another and trust again and  again and again. I look as jealousy or selos as like a flame  that keeps the fire from BURNING HOT!! bwehehehe!! -wink-wink- Hubby is not a jealous type nor I (well not much). His ex-wife is still living and I never get jealous because I am much 1000% prettier and younger than her bwahahaha!! Kidding aside hubby don't h...

It's yellow

Image
Six more weeks and it will be Spring wohooo!! By that time I am kind of busy scratching (like a chicken) trying to find sprouting plants specially tulips and some other early plants and flowers on the ground. This year I am excited to see my dahlias, peonies and hollyhocks blossom once again. Last year I took a shot of my first ever Dahlia and never expected to see a humongous one. The saying "expect the unexpected" is what I  remember when I saw my first Dahlia. This picture is the bud, ain't that huge already. The other day when it starts to warm up (25F that's our warm or heat wave here in MI lol) the snows on top of the roof started to melt, so it formed  long icicles. I so then thought of taking a picture for macro shot. When I saw the result in my camera the light from the window came out yellow, a great entry for MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY !! ^_^
