Charles brought me these beautiful 7 roses...
He also bought my flowers for the back patio. We planted them all together (or I should say we were both outside while I planted them - but Charles did help with the big bag of potting soil and watered them all once they were planted!), and I was really happy with the way they all turned out!
We planted lantana in our little bunny by the back door...
and a beautiful light pink Mandavela to climb on the fleur de lis again this year; I can't wait for it to bloom...
and a variegated Bougainvillea ...
and zinnias for the table...
and more lantana along with some pink petunias...
Mama suggested I use our rabbit weather vane in the center of the big planter, and I'm glad I took the suggestion - it turned out great!
Our patio is so summery and colorful now. I hope the butterflies find all our new plants!
I took Charles to see the Iowa Cubs who were in Memphis to play the Memphis Redbirds. Because a game in their previous series had been suspended due to rain, the first game began in the 4th inning and went through the 9th. We were up close to the action for this game. Our seats were right on the front row beside the Cubs' dugout - practically at first base. We were able to get a close up look at the warm ups...
and the players walked right past us on their way to the dugout. We had a great view of the game!
And of Neal Cotts pitching...
It was a beautiful day, but it was HOT!! The sun was shining brightly but there weren't many clouds and not many breezes, so during the break between the first and second games, Charles and I walked around and checked out the park and enjoyed a shaved ice from the kid's corner!! We then moved into the shade for the second game...
We still had a very good view of the game and were able to enjoy it a little more since we were much cooler!

We were also able to really see into the Cubs dugout during the second game...We left before the second game was over, but we had a great time watching the Cubs play some good ball.
We left Autozone Park and headed to The Spaghetti Warehouse for a good evening before our anniversary dinner...
Charles and I had a wonderful 7th anniversary!
