Hello sweet friends and Happy Tuesday! We enjoyed an autumn tease last week with mornings in the fifties and afternoons in the low eighties. We are now back to summer here in our Appalachian Foothills. Autumn officially begins on Thursday. Are you experiencing any fall-like weather yet?
“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
Proverbs 17:22
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-6

Happy Thursday sweet friends! Last week I shared The Summer Garden and mentioned that my Renaissance Man was planning to enlarge the space. He wasted no time!

Sometimes to be “in with the new” means “out with the old”. This arbor is almost 40 years old and at one time was in the front yard and supported a swing. After being relocated it has been home to Lady Banks Roses. Storms have wreaked havoc on the roses on two occasions. Once we were able to trim and then pull the vines back into place and reshape. The last time however, the roses had to be cut back to almost ground level and the arbor repaired. The roses grew back over the top in two seasons but have not bloomed as well after the major pruning. This will all be removed…sad, but it’s time!READ MORE
