MMI- The fear in all of us

"When I first met you I was afraid to like you,
now that I like you I'm afraid to love you,
now that I love you I'm afraid to lose you.”

Is this true of all of us?

RT - Scents

Try adding a romantic scent to the evening - Candles or bake a batch of his/her favorite cookies.

Enjoy the smell and the treat on the same night.

Or try some cologne or perfume dab in a secret spot to entice.

Have fun and enjoy a romantic evening,

WW - Wild Birds

Some of the birds there are gorgous, many variety and species.

In one place, they allow you to feed them and they will land on your hand, shoulder, and where they chose. But you have to be careful of getting hit with their pooh.

MY - Blue Berries

I'm hoping that by the end of the summer I might get a few blue berries off this plant.

The instruction said to buy two plants so that they could cross pollinate, but alas, I didn't so I'll have to let you know if I messed up or not.

Love having fruit bushes in my yard.

Have a great day,

Tina

WW - Our Long Neck Friends

As you can see, the park has to protect the tree so the animals won't peal off all the bark and kill the tree.

The park rangers also distribute branches and hang them high in the air so that the giraffes have to reach for them. It's amazing the things the park does to make the animals feel like they are in their natural surroundings.

So many of us are busy. A few minutes or an hour can be a gift that can help our lover relax.

An in some ways it's an easy gift to give.

Take the kids to the park and let your spouse have a time alone.

Do some of his or her chores like cut the grass, wash the dishes, put in a load of laundry.

These little things can show your lover how much you care -- try one today.

My Yard - Growing Vegetables

I don't have a large yard. So to take advantage of the space I have, I decided to use pots to help me have the garden I want.

I have a nice tomato plant with spinach around the base.

Should have plenty of salad for the hot days of summer.

WW - Elephants

My favorite exhibit to visit is the elephants. I have collect small figurines of elephants to see the real thing is amazing and it reminds me how truly wonderful the creature is.

Elephants call out for a variety of reason some times to warn of danger other to retrieve a lost child.

As the flowers start to bloom, why not pick a few from your honey.

I personally love wild flowers and enjoy having a few in a glass on my counter.

Remember it is the little things that creates the romantic setting that you and your lover can enjoy.

A sweet floral scent is a nice way to get an evening of fun started.

Have fun,

Tina

My Yard - Mint

I decided since I had mint in Omaha, I could have mint here too so I started a pot full.

Can't help but love a container garden.

WW - A Slice of the African Range in California

Wild Animals need lots of room to roam. One of the nice things about the San Diego Animal Park is that they provide a home to a wild variety of animals. Some are endanger, and because of the park's great work, their numbers are growing.
