Roses and questionable gardening attire…

The two oldest grandkids are safely returned to their mama and daddy after their three week visit here.

Oldest daughter and her husband had to take a quick trip away,

leaving me with baby granddaughter, so I’ve still been busy.

After breakfast this morning, baby granddaughter and I quickly threw on our jackets over our pajamas and put on some shoes, and headed into the back yard.  Our local garden center had a sale, so I wanted to get my new rose bush planted – my first attempt at growing roses!  That was done quickly, but we ended up spending a good two hours, pulling weeds, and enjoying the morning outdoors, pajamas and all.

If you’re going to be outdoors in your p.j.s, make sure they’re cute ones!

At two years of age, youngest granddaughter is already very opinionated about her footwear, and all too often insists on wearing these bright orange shoes, much to her mama’s chagrin.

My simple pleasure:

roses and “gardening” with baby granddaughter

  1. Elizabeth is there anything better than spending precious time with your baby granddaughter who won't be so little very long. She has strong opinions about her shoes but to her they are the most beautiful things. My younger daughter was just like that and she has her own style (a very nice one, too) to this day.

  2. Hi Elizabeth. Love your blog! What a treat of a time you had with your lovely granddaughter! Her pj's are so cute and match her shoes. Your first photo is precious.

  3. That's so sweet. I've been in your daughter's shoes before. Ha! Buying something and then wondering why in the world I bought it when the child won't take it off. For the record, I love the orange shoes. Tell your daughter mixing bold colors is a must this season!

  7. Elizabeth,
    This is such a sweet post! I just posted one on my daughter and I planted jalapenos, and she is 24. Gardening is such a delightful hobby.
    Your roses look beautiful. I am only good at keeping Knockout Roses going. My other roses look pitiful.
    All the best,

  10. I think you can do just about anything in pajamas and with summer vacation around the corner, you better believe I will be in mine as often and as long as I can be. :) What a sweetie that little one is and those shoes are fantastic! I think her mom should buy clothes that will match the shoes and then it's all good. Best wishes, Tammy
