Springtime is bursting out all over the Appalachian Foothills of NE Alabama with vivid shades of green, gorgeous blooming trees, and unpredictable weather!

“He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭6‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Welcome friends to my first alfresco table of the year! I love setting a table next to the woodlands with the backdrop of RM’s lush rye grass which he sows in late summer/early autumn. Speaking of RM, today is his birthday…happy birthday Butch!READ MORE

Happy Thursday, sweet friends. I know most of you are experiencing icy cold weather! Our weather forecasters are saying that beginning early Friday morning we could have between 2-3 inches of snow and then possibly freezing rain. (The forecast changes every few hours!) Living in the South, everyone panics when the white stuff is mentioned. All the bread and milk will disappear off the shelves immediately. I have never understood what it is about bread and milk? I need more than these items if I am going to be snowed in! While difficult weather is often only an inconvenience, we all know sometimes there can be dangerous and devastating events in nature. We pray for the many in California who are currently being impacted by raging wildfires, a very tragic and serious situation! 

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.””
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)
