Hello friends and Happy March! I feel like I have finally turned the corner on this pneumonia. A special thanks to all who prayed for me and sent loving thoughts my way. It meant so much to know that sweet ladies were praying for me.

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”

Happy Tuesday, friends. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for spring! Meteorological Spring begins March 1, which is this coming Saturday and I am going with it. This winter seems to have been extremely cold, gray, and wet in our Appalachian Foothills! I thought flowers would cheer me up since I am battling a bad case of pneumonia. I hope the happy and colorful displays cheer you as much as they have me!

“For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61‬:‭11‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

A floral watering can of purple stock, mini pink dianthus, yellow aster solidago, and burgundy dianthus joined foraged native oak leaf hydrangeas from the woodlands. This combination provided the English garden style I was hoping to accomplish. It was placed on the Sunshine Cottage porch next to the cottage garden!READ MORE

“The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.”
‭‭Zephaniah‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)
