May Garden Journal

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Gardening, Spring

Hello sweet friends. I hope you are having a wonderful week. Thanks to all who checked on us Tuesday.  Fortunately we had no damage. I don’t know when I have seen so much rain fall in a day’s time. Our neighbor has a rain gauge that indicated we had 4 1/2 inches over the period. Many in Alabama had storm damage and flooding, please keep them in your prayers. Spring in Alabama seems to bring on the violent weather, it is always frightening. We are so glad that our son’s new home has a safe room. That is where I will be when there are tornado warnings.

“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭

Let’s take a little “walk about” to see what is going on in the garden!

I took this photo on an angle looking toward the back left corner of the garden. We have tried many different annuals between the soft touch hollies, we went back to vinca this year. The newest garden ornament (frog) was purchased for EM and EK, but I wasn’t the purchaser. I am sure you can guess who was!READ MORE

“Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭73:25-26‬ ‭

We are thrilled to introduce you to our newest member of the family! Three day old Prince Wyatt Lee is home to the joy of everyone, especially his big sisters! While being fearfully and wonderfully made, he’s been with us for about 9 months, but finally decided to show himself!

We enjoyed a brief visit with Allison’s mom (better known as Lolly) last week as all of us waited for the little Prince to come home. She has some beautiful flowers in a shady area just off her deck. This rhododendron that is draped somewhat with honeysuckle caught our eye. READ MORE
