Thirteen years ago today my 2nd grandson was born!!! Poor, poor, Irene. She now has another teen-aged son. Hehehehehehe!!!! Happy Birthday dear one! This means that I can't call you "Dilly" any more, for sure.

And since he was fascinated by our yard when in Tucson and when he visited down here a couple of years ago, I thought I'd show you, in honor of the birthday boy, three of his favorites hidden in our yard...
Dillon loved this one.
Typical for a boy that age...
An elf with a sling shot!!
He thought this one was 'tiny'!!
And he liked the fairy wings.
When he first spied this one, he giggled 'cause he told me "Mom's always telling me I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on. Guess this little guy has the same problem, he's holdin' on to his head!"

Me first and not last to post. How unusual is that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky boy to have you for a grandmother. I bet you can call him Dilly when he is 113.
I love the little things you have hidden in your garden and the fond, fun memories they carry with them.
OH! I just love that you have those hidden in your garden! How cute!
ReplyDeleteI have little fairies in my garden too!
Happy Birthday to your grandson!
A veritable treasure hunt! Pray for your daughter or at least throw salt over your shoulder for luck - remember how hard those teen years can be? Do you think boys or girls are harder?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your grandson, he shares my mommas birthday. She is celebrating her 76th birthday in heaven today.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, "Dilly" :-D
