“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26
Not long after first light is a good time to enjoy the cool of the garden…and encounter the rabbits that are seemingly multiplying daily!

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah 6:8
Hello sweet friends. I have had such a heavy heart and wasn’t sure if I should post or not. God’s Holy Word always has the answers, but it seems that I often go everywhere else before I go to the One who knows and loves me best. The scripture at the top ask the question, what is good? What does the Lord require of me?
Do justice. Love kindness. Walk humbly with my God.
If those of us who are followers of Jesus would be obedient to this scripture, it would certainly change the climate of our land. May these words burn in my heart and may the change begin in me.
During the last three months of difficult times, I have strived to share a message of hope and beauty in our everyday living. It is always my desire to encourage you.
“If all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wildflowers.”

My Renaissance Man and I have become extremely interested in finding and identifying wildflowers. You may have noticed our many wildflowers in our spring Simple + Southern Sunday posts. I have made two wildflower arrangements for recent tablescapes here and here. Today I am paying homage to Queen Anne’s Lace, one of my favorite wildflowers!
Queen Anne’s Lace grows wild over virtually all of the continental United States. You will see it along roadsides, ditches, overgrown fields, or patches of disturbed soil. It is also known by the names of Wild Carrot or Bird’s Nest.READ MORE
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
John 14:27
Happy June sweet friends. Not only is it the first day of a new month, it is the first Monday of the month and that means Monday Morning Blooms. In our troubled and disturbing times, hopefully Shirley, Lidy, Mary, and I can brighten your day with flowers!
“It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside.”

I would have a hard time choosing a favorite flower, but hydrangeas would be in my top three!
There are so many varieties to choose and I have never met one that I didn’t love!
