I got this chocolate cupcake today at Simple Bakery in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. First, I got lunch with my parents. Afterwards, we went to the bakery next door for some bread and desserts. The cupcake was super moist and chocolatey. And usually I don't like frosting. But this frosting was so good. Very light and creamy with real vanilla flavor. It tasted just like an old-fashioned whoopie pie.
I purchased these roses on clearance last year. I never planted them. I thought they would die over the winter. The lesson I learned was: don't complain about life and bloom where you are planted. I am going to plant them in a nice sunny spot in the ground.

I have a variety of flowers in pots around the house. I always love the red and very patriotic looking geraniums in the summer.
My son gave me the purple and pink petunias for Mother's Day. Love the gorgeous colors.
And since I took this photo, the roses are in full bloom. I didn't even prune them last year, hence the dead rose hip from last year. Just love the colors in June. No wonder so many people get married in June. The garden flowers are so pretty.
My mother gave me the most adorable little succulent planter. She got it at the Lake Geneva, WI farmer's market. The lady who made it makes planters out of children's shoes. My mother also has a little boy's suede hiking boot planter. I don't have a photo of that. But I love my new Mary Jane planter.
