Teatime In The Spring Garden

~ Spring, Tea On Tuesdays, Teatimes

Welcome friends, I am so happy you are here for an afternoon in the garden sipping tea!

“This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭18‬:‭30‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Our garden table is my favorite spot in spring, summer, and autumn to share tea and tablescapes! Our weather has been a bit strange this spring…the nights have been unusually cool and the daytime temps have been below normal. Last Friday morning we had a low of 45 degrees. Not only cooler temperatures, but also a drought. With our unusual weather, the garden is not as far along for this time of year. Hopefully it will catch up!READ MORE

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 600

~ Aerial Photogaphy, Birthdays, Outdoors, Simple + Southern Sunday, Spring

“But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭71‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Today marks a special Sunday as we reach SSS number 600. We wondered what things were like for such previous milestones and decided to take a look back at a few to refresh our memories. From SSS 500, this aerial shows the garden after some changes and additions from the previous year, yet today, another aerial would definitely reveal a few more differences. SSS 500 was posted in June, 2024!READ MORE

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 599

~ Mothers Day, Simple + Southern Sunday, Spring

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

No, not every woman will become a mother. But, we are all here, without exception, because a young woman of childbearing age chose to bear within her, and give birth to, a life that God knew all about long, long before. No two circumstances being the same, the thought of “Mother” brings about a wide and endless range of emotions among us. Yet, by divine providence, you and I are here. Here, because God had a plan and purpose by which He brought each of us into the world…all fearfully and wonderfully made!READ MORE
