My Flower Garden

This post will show you the progress that I have made in my flower garden. It will also give you an update on all of the successful surgeries that happened to family members. I will begin with the latter since it is the most important.

First, I would like to tell you that my brother, James, had scheduled surgery that he had after my last post, and he is doing well. He had surgery on his sinuses because of allergies. Allergies seem to run in our family. Second, my cousin Kim had surgery and seems to be doing a lot better. There was a moment after her initial surgery that she had to return to the hospital for observation again, but from what I know she is doing well. Third, my uncle Thom had four stints and was released from the hospital and is doing well. So, all is well in our little world. Not that everyone is perfect, and not that everyone is in the epitome of health, but surgeries are complete for now and no terrible outcomes that I know of. Thank you, Jesus!

Now, about my flower garden. I have Shasta daisies, Canna lilies, Russian sage, Hydrangea tree, Clematis, and Roses blooming, and more that you have not had the chance to see. But there is a lot more work to do. I used a shovel and gardening fork to hand dig the sections that you see in the photos, but I have decided that I will have to rent a sod remover to complete the back border. I am getting older and that was arduous work for me. I do not mind caring for my flower garden and planting, but lawn removal should not be so difficult. So, I have changed my mind and will be using a sod remover to complete my design. And then I can complete a lawn patio that will go beneath my table and chairs. I am pleased with the design, but the photos do not do it justice.



It has been a while since you have heard what is going on with the team in my screenplay, so I am excited to share another excerpt with you in my next post.

God bless and have a blessed week!

Love always,

Laveda D. Rockford

The Path | Laveda D. Rockford

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
