Simple + Southern Sunday No. 601

~ Memorial Day, Outdoors, Simple + Southern Sunday, Wildflowers

“I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭77‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Memorial Day weekend has arrived and some much needed rain arrived here last week as well. This particular group of ‘just before sunset’ clouds eventually drifted our way and brought us nighttime showers. Perhaps those with outdoor plans for tomorrow will have a nice day, but a cloudy, rainy day is in the forecast for us. Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Although the last Monday of May is our US holiday for honoring and remembering those in the military who died while defending and protecting us, other countries have similar observances at other times of the year.READ MORE

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

“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
