.....when the world was a little younger, I was born on this date.
Happy Birthday to....me!
Here I am with my brother. I think I was about 4 and he was about 6 and a half.
I had a very pleasant surprise phone call from my dear friend, Alice this morning. She was trying to call me while I was on the Internet checking my e-mail, reading her e-card birthday greeting, and sending one back to her.

She was watching the clock tick towards her bedtime while willing me to get off the Internet so the phone line would be free!
When she finally reached me we had a wonderful chat and she was rather late getting to bed :)
All in all it was a lovely day, and I got just a little bit of gardening done.
Two of the front gardens, blooming profusely
Chasing butterflies.....I managed to get this one to hold still for a second. It's a tiger swallowtail. I'm seeing a lot of them this summer.
Gloriosa Daisy (Rudbeckia or Black-eyed Susan) with Achillea (Yarrow) Cerise Queen
This Monada (Bee Balm) is all dressed up in her Sunday best, with a pretty hat :) I've never seen one sprout a 'hat' before.

Happy birthday, Kerrie!
Isn't it fun to chase butterflies? I also love to chase hummers, but I haven't seen many this year.
Your garden is looking great. Don't you just love black-eyed Susans? So cheerful. Mine are almost ready to bloom (although they are very short this year).
Hope you had a wonderful birthday and ate lots of cake and ice cream.
Happy birthday, Kerri!
Your photos are excelent like always, I like the photo with the butterfly very much.

I'm a bit late with a comment today - I must have overslept. I wonder what could be the reason...ha,ha.
That first photo is simply stunning, as are the rest. Are you sure it's your garden (just kidding!!!)?
I hope you are getting lots of time in the garden today and not being interrupted by chatterboxes from the other side of the world. It was just lovely to have a nice long chat with you. Happy Birthday (everyday).
I actually meant the first photo of your garden is stunning - but of course, you and your brother are beautiful, too.
Many Happy Returns, and a great year ahead to you too!
Happy Birthday to you dear Kerri!
I hope you've had a wonderful day!
Happy belated birthday Kerri! I'm glad to read you've had a good day! Your garden is so very beautiful and you photos very special again! I love that photo with the gorgeous butterfly, fab shot! By coincidence I've just took a photo of a monarda with a hat too in my garden. Will put in my next post.
Hi again Kerri ~~ A Happy belated
Birthday to you. I hope you had a wonderful day. The photo of you and your
brother is cute, and your garden as nice
as ever, especially the photo with the butterfly. Take care, Merle.
Happy birthday to you dear Kerri !
I think the Bee Balm wore the hat just for your special day lol.
Your garden is so utterly colourful and reminds me of the Kew gardens here in Britain- wonderful- you have a real green thumb and more!
Bests, :)x
Happy Birthday Kerri and your flowers are blooming profusly just for your birthday...You always have such beautiful pictures of your flowers and what a beautiful shot of that swallowtail butterfly!
How nice of Alice to call you & to send you an ecard for your birthday...she's a real sweatheart.
I just found your blog through Sue and this is my first visit. Happy Birthday! Your flowers are just gorgeous....and the kitten photos (earlier post)are adorable. I enjoyed my visit and will return.

Kerri, I felt so bad when I came back from my holiday and found out it was your birthday last Friday!! I would have left you a birthday greeting on my site...that's why I wanted to know everyone's birthdate. I didn't see yours until I got back:-( Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful day!! Did you ever get my email that I sent over a week or so ago? Just want to make sure it got through:-)
Sorry I missed it - but hope you had a fabulous birthday.
And once again - STUNNING pictures!!
