“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

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭16:11‬

“Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭36:5‬ ‭

This is our country road and it sometimes takes us home…but most of the time we use it to travel from the lower pasture to the upper pasture (as I tend to call them).

Speaking of the lower pasture, the daisy fleabane that pops up every year in this section has a pink/lavender touch to the petals as opposed to white petals on most plants. I wondered, like hydrangeas, if soil acid content was responsible.  I discovered there are several varieties of fleabane which contributes to the color variations. And such a strange name…fleabane. Did you know that in days gone by it was believed this plant, when dried, would repel…you guessed it…fleas!READ MORE
