Hello dear friends! I hope everyone had an amazing weekend as we celebrated America’s 250th birthday!
“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.”
Psalm 67:1-2 ESV
The 99 year old Memorial Bridge serves as the perfect spot to display two very large American flags. The flags, put in place mid-week, are part of this weekends Freedom Fest. I happened along just as crews finished hanging the flags so I eased out on a public pier to get a photo. Our city, like hundreds across the nation, had a well planned celebration of America’s 250th birthday. The bridge was closed to traffic early last night as crews prepared for a large fireworks show to be set in motion from atop the bridge. I imagine there were plenty of similar activities in your neck of the woods!READ MORE
Hello and welcome friends! Can you believe this is the last day of June and 2026 is half over?
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.””
Psalm 91:1-2 (ESV)
I would invite you to talk a walk in the garden, but with a temperature of 96+ and heat index values of 105 to 109, I advise staying inside with the AC and scrolling through the photos and reading the commentary in comfort!
This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago. Now the sunflowers are so tall that we need a ladder to cut the blooms! A blog post with sunflowers and zinnias will hopefully be coming mid-July! Friends who visit often ask what kind of tree has the purple spike blooms. The Chaste (Vitex) tree is constantly buzzing with bees and hummingbirds visit often as well!READ MORE
