“The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭19‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We experienced a warm, humid week with rain and scattered thunderstorms occurring on several days. The moisture was needed and the unsettled days also brought picturesque skies and unusual light, especially early and late in the day. It is race weekend a few miles to our south at Talladega Super Speedway, but the race here at our place has already been decided…the weeds have won!READ MORE

Our Blooms Of Early Spring

~ Flowers, Gardening, Spring

Happy Tuesday, dear friends. I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Easter. After church, RM and I were joined at our home by our son, daughter-in-love, and our four precious grandchildren for an Easter lunch. We certainly missed my sweet Daddy. I know he celebrated the best Easter ever in the presence of our Risen Lord!

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Gardening season is in full swing. Zinnias and sunflower seeds are in the ground, most of the weeding has been accomplished, and pots are being filled with annuals.

I am a couple of weeks late posting our favorite early spring blooms. These late March and early April blooms didn’t get nipped by frost, even though we had a couple of late, light frosts. I think they may have had their best season!READ MORE

Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come”
