‭‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭33‬ ‭(ESV)

Many of you will remember our resident scarecrow that came to live at our house three years ago. Our granddaughters named her Charlotte Daisy. Last year more scarecrows were added. After a long and hot summer, they were thrilled to finally escape the heat and stuffiness of Da’s workshop.READ MORE
