XOXO...AMY...XOXO
ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
WHAT DO YOU SEE OUT YOUR BACK DOOR???
I JUST SHOWED A COUPLE OF THINGS BUT
WILL BE SHOWING MORE AT A LATER TIME.
WE HAVE AN AREA IN THE BACK YARD
WHERE MY HUSBAND BUILT A SPECIAL FENCE
SO I COULD HAVE A WILDFLOWER GARDEN.
IN FRONT OF THE FENCE WE HAVE RAIL-
ROAD TIES WHERE WE HAVE PLACED SOME
OF MY ROCKS AND HAVE POTTED PLANTS.
IT HAS AN ARCHWAY AND GATE YOU ENTER
THROUGH. IT NEEDS SOME LOVIN' AND IT
IS ON OUR TO DO LIST.
THIS IS OUR BEAUTIFUL CLEMATIS.
WE HAVE HAD IT FOR 5 YEARS AND I
THOUGHT IT HAD DIED AS MY DH CUT IT
WAY BACK IN LATE FALL. THERE WAS A
GORGEOUS WHITE ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE
AND THE TWO GREW AROUND EACH OTHER
AND PEOPLE WANTED TO KNOW WHERE WE
PURCHASED A CLEMATIS THAT HAD PURPLE
AND WHITE BLOOMS.
THE WHITE ONE MUST BE DECEASED AS
THERE HAVE BEEN NO WHITE BLOOMS.
WE HAVE THREE BIRDBATHS, BECAUSE
LIKE YOU WE LOVE THE BIRDS.
WHAT LIES BEHIND US AND WHAT LIES
BEFORE US ARE TINY MATTERS COMPARED
TO WHAT
LIES WITHIN US.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING SIMPLY DEBBIE
TODAY. I REALIZED BY SOME OF THE
PINK SATURDAY POSTS I AM STILL VISITING
TO CHECK UP ON MY FOLLOWERS AND THOSE
WHO FOLLOW ME. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE
JUST DO NOT KEEP IN OUR OWN LITTLE SOCIAL
CIRCLE AS THEIR ARE PEOPLE WHO NEED A
FRIEND...SOMEONE TO VISIT THEM...SOMEONE
TO PRAY FOR THEM...TO ENCOURAGE THEM.
THAT IS WHAT MAKES A BLOGGER SPECIAL.
THE LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY SAFE...AND THAT YOU KNOW HIS
LOVE, MERCY, AND GRACE.
YOU ARE SPECIAL TO ME BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY YOU ARE SPECIAL TO JESUS.
HUGS AND BLESSINGS
SIMPLY DEBBIE

Out your back door is so sweet and pretty. Nothing
is more beautiful than Gods wonderful creations,the wildflowers. I think your blog reminds me of that beauty..your writings are so sweet and filled with love and gentleness,it's like getting a hug from a dear,dear friend. It's a wonderful feeling...thank you for sharing so much love with us sweet Debbie.
Oh my, the clematis is lovely! I had one but the yard guy cut it down a few winters ago thinking it was dead. Did not have the heart to start another one. I will just come and enjoy yours.
I hope your and yours and your furry ones have a blessed day.
Oh, I wish our clematis was a gorgeous as yours. Perhaps someday it will, sugar.
I see a grape arbor up next to our fence and flowers by the patio.

Hi Debbie! Oh I do love a beautiful garden of flowers! The yellow colored ones are most cheery to me, I think! I'm afraid there is no place for me to garden this year, with the new apartment; but still I love to get outdoors after a long hard winter, to just soak up the warm sun and breath the wonderful fresh air.. walk my dog around the block during the day, or to roast marshmallows under a cool evening sky! Isn't it wonderful to have the nice weather back again?!! Enjoy it! ~tina
Debbie - I enjoy your blog - like the quote from RWE - he was a man before his time. Sandie
Your flowers are beautiful Debbie!
Hi Debbie,
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I love seeing out your back door. The wildflower garden looks great and the clematis is just BEAUTIFUL!! I have heard they are kind of picky...yours LOVES you!!!
To answer your question Cloverleaf is in Ardmore Oklahoma. It is in Southern Oklahoma, located about halfway between Oklahoma City and Dallas, Texas. I'm not sure where you live in Oklahoma but it is a fun place to browse around. Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday.♥
Hello Debbie,
Thanks for visiting me today. Your flowers are lovely. I adore Clamatis flowers. I've never seen them before I moved here to the South. I'm sure they grow other places too, but I didn't discover them till recently. The white ones are fantastic! Maybe they'll come back next year?
Thanks for your suggestion of pressing the gardenias. A constructor friend of mine gave me 3 big heavy pieces of wood specifically for pressing flowers since I asked him for it a while back. (he always has extra lumber lying around) and I will try that. I had almost forgotten about that, but pressing them and maybe crocheting a white border around the frame would make a lovely gift - homegrown and homemade - the best kind :-)
Have a wonderful day!
Doris
It sure is pretty in your back yard.....Hugs
Stopped back to say you are NOT an old lady...lol. I graduated high school in 1979!!!!
Dang Blogger, it ate my comment.
Mainly,just saying you are so right about bloggers visiting others!
And how lovely it is outside your door, so much beauty!
Lovely back yard. I started to buy a Clematis plant the other day. They come back every year, right? That's the kind of flowers I like.
We don't have too much out back - a couple of yard ornaments and some bird feeders. Beyond that is some hay that will be cut later this week or next. I love watching the guys cut and rake and bail. I'll probably post pictures after it's done.
Your flowers are gorgeouse and I'm sure they have wonderful scents!
Debbie,
What a lovely garden you have!!
Just beautiful!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Debbie: What a lovely post you left on my blog. Thank you so much for coming by. I forgive you for being an OSU fan.LOL I know you just can't help it. Someone has to do it. I lived in Lubbock for 10 years and tried to become a Red Raider, it just didn't work. Once a Sooner....... please stop back by again. Mary Ann
Debbie,
Your flowers are lovely! I adore the purple clematis. I just planted one last week the same color.
Thinking and praying for you.

Morning Debbie,
Thanks for coming by yesterday, so good to hear from you hon. Thanks for your sweet comments on my tablescape. I love the red, white and blue too, it is just so American!! and I am all about America and what is good and right for this nation under God!!
You know, I have had those stars so long I can't even remember where I got them. Probably at Target or maybe a party shop! I know awhile
back I was looking for hearts for Valentines day and could not find them anywhere and I found one
last lil bag at Target with all their Valentines stuff. I was so happy cause I had looked everywhere!! I was thinking they maybe quit
making mylar pretties, course, they may have and the ones I found were from the year before or something. Hope not, cause I really enjoy them.
I hope you are doing well my friend, and hope your week has been good and the rest even better.
Blessings Galore hon,
Nellie
Good Morning Debbie
Thanks so much for clarifying my pecan catkins. Loved the small peek in to your yard, but I especially loved how you closed your post

Hi Debbie I have been into family things for the last two weeks and just getting around to saying hello. I love the out your back door theme. I have huge white clematis on my header and some purple on the other side of the courtyard. Blessings to you and your and Miz Gracie. Sounds like you all had some big bad weather out there.
