daddy

This is my adorable dad. He is one of the kindest, gentlest, most loving people I know. He has a huge heart, is creative, and has an amazing work ethic. The quote which will forever remind me of dad, “a change is better than a rest.” On Father’s Day I took pictures of him out in the backyard; his favorite pass-time, gardening.

Our backyard is beautiful. He can work and work and work in the yard until he aches from head to toe and barely has enough energy to stand…and loves every minute of it. As we went around the back yard he pointed out several flowers next to which he would like to have his picture taken…he figured nobody would want to see his picture, but if the flowers were there, it would give them something to look at.

Clematis

Roses and…something else (Dad, I’ll need a refresher on this little white flower)

Peony

Petunias

Dad dreams big and builds gazebos even bigger!

Dad and cute Mom.

Dad, thanks for all you have done and continue to do for our family. I love and appreciate you so much!
