SINCE KIM GOT HER SMILE BACK...LADY LUCK IS SMILING ON ME AGAIN

If you read my blog yesterday, you know that I lost my house keys when I went to town on errands.

Lady luck was with me every steps of the way  yesterday and I was giving thanks to God on my way home for this as I truly believe that  we should be grateful. I always say that a thankful heart is a happy heart. I was happy until I got home and found out that my keys were nowhere to be found and I had them in my purse when I left home.

Today I prayed to St Antoine De Padue as he's the patron saint of lost objects and I've had incredible luck at finding lost objets in the past and I firmly believe in his help when prayed to sincerely.

Today when I had time I called the Co-op  first as I was retracing my foot steps,  and they had some keys in the found and lost but they didn't had my keys. Then I called the Daily Gleaner newspaper office and  I described my keys and the nice girl at the desk told me that someone found them in the parking lot and had turned them in. They must have fallen out when I loaded those three rolls of paper in the car.

I was so glad and I think that since Kim got her smile back, Lady Luck is smiling on me again.




  My irises are just starting to bloom and this is Cherub Smile





If I recall the name of this bearded iris is Stepping out.

I can't remember the name of this one. but I love it anyway.


I didn't get much done outdoors today except pick some dandelion fluff and water plants as it was rather hot and humid. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.  JB

    I'm so glad you found your keys! I have used that prayer to find things too! It really works! Your irises are stunning. I just love these flowers. They make such a statement. I have one blooming now in a gorgeous shade of orange. That Cherub Smile is such a wonderful apricot. Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment on by blog!
    Happy gardening!

    I am so glad some nice person turned them in and you got them back. Yes, when Kim smiles the world is just a better place, all of the pieces just fall into place.
    I love all of your bearded Irises. They are just beautiful and I love all of their names.
    Have a nice evening.

    Those irises are so pretty. I'm happy you got your keys back so quickly. That was lucky! We both had good days :)
    How are the new calves and the dirty little kitten. Poor little guy, I hope he is clean again.

    So happy you found your keys. We asked for help from Saint Anthony when my husband lost his wallet the other day. Someone found it in the library parking lot and turned it in. So nice to know there are honest and thoughtful people out there.

    Hi Mandy. You are so sweet. Yes I planted those irises by myself. I bought one little plant of each color and they multiply fast and I just divide them and replant them so that I can get more. I hope that you are right about Lady Luck. Hugs. JB
