Belinda’s Dream and Generation Y

Bonnie — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:08:24 +0000

This summer I was working on a project for my industry. My daughter moved in with us for a few months and through her I learned the latest technology and marketing skills which helped me fulfill this huge initiative for my profession.

Through the eyes of this young Gen Y’er, who clicks the mouse much faster and quicker than this 50 something Baby Boomer, I got to visit behind the scenes of an new industry that is very innovative and remarkable. I not only learned about Drupal and social marketing, I learned more about who my daughter is and about her Generation Y.

Today after several hours of work on the project I can finally get back to my love of gardening. As I admire my blooming Belinda’s Dream Rose and enjoy its exquisite frangrance, I find that it too is so very remarkable, almost as much as our new Generation Y who no doubt will change the look of Corporate America.

This rose if for you Generation Y. Thank you Jennifer at www.iliveindallas.com. You are amazing !!

A New Direction

Bonnie — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:55:37 +0000

On Monday a very special person I know will begin a new opportunity. Today I had to reflect on portions of an old saying about people that come into your life for a reason, season or a lifetime. “When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They teach you something you have never done before and they bring you a great amount of joy” I am so thankful that I got the opportunity to work with and get to know Jessica. I will miss seeing her everyday but I know that this new direction will serve as a stepping stone in the pathway to her success and I wish her every happiness.

A Mirror in the Garden

Bonnie — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:40:35 +0000

Inspired by my recent trip to Savannah, I noticed that some of the grand old porches had mirrors. Back home at PB Garden, I decided to try one in our entry way. How lovely PB Garden looks in the fall and what a special touch this lovely old mirror adds. There is a new depth to our entrance and a special “Savannah” magic is transported back to Texas. Enjoy!!

Flowers and Friendships Continue to Bloom Year after Year !

Bonnie — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:07:01 +0000

This rose produces a beautiful array of blooms every year and never fails me, just like my friendship with my two special friends Carey and Wendy. This weekend we had a wonderful time on a girls trip to McKinney, TX, great shops, great food, lots of laughter and wonderful memories. When I got back home I found this lovely rose blooming in my back yard.

I am so thankful for Flowers and Friendships that continue to Bloom Year after Year !!

Love you guys very much !! and thank you Chrysler Imperial Pink Rose !! What a perfect weekend !

You can always count on the garden to give you that Kodak moment.

Football, Flowers and Falling Rain

Bonnie — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 02:25:00 +0000

It’s hard to believe that football season is here and Da Bears and Da Boys are already back ! It was so good to see Paul watching the game today and not working in the yard !

I could not resist the beauty of the blooms today as cooler temperatures have brought delight to my garden. I just had to snap a few pictures between the raindrops. Enjoy P and B Garden this September day !!

Where Has Paul Been This Summer?

Bonnie — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 02:15:55 +0000

Many of you have called Paul to play golf or go out on your boat, or just hang out this summer and heard him say …. “I am sorry, I can’t go….. I am working on my yard project”. This did not sound like Paul to you….and I am sure you wondered what was going on. Paul worked a small miracle this summer and cleaned up a giant mess. I think he is brillant !!
