“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”
Romans 12:10 ESV
A splendid morning provided the blessings and knowledge that we’d been given another day as the sun also rose on a new month. The beauty of creation is ever before us but I do raise two questions. Where did January go, and, is spring just around the corner? We do have possible record high temps in the forecast for this week, even prior to any news from the nation’s groundhogs!READ MORE
Hello sweet friends! It is mid-January and I am thinking about all things gardening, so much so, I’ve even ordered seeds…zinnias, sunflowers, and marigolds should arrive tomorrow !
“The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing.”

Daffodils – The Harbingers Of Spring
In early February the cottage garden starts to wake up. Green shoots begin to break through the soil and the bright yellow daffodils, the harbingers of spring, start showing their happy faces by middle to late February.READ MORE
Happy Thursday, sweet friends. I know most of you are experiencing icy cold weather! Our weather forecasters are saying that beginning early Friday morning we could have between 2-3 inches of snow and then possibly freezing rain. (The forecast changes every few hours!) Living in the South, everyone panics when the white stuff is mentioned. All the bread and milk will disappear off the shelves immediately. I have never understood what it is about bread and milk? I need more than these items if I am going to be snowed in! While difficult weather is often only an inconvenience, we all know sometimes there can be dangerous and devastating events in nature. We pray for the many in California who are currently being impacted by raging wildfires, a very tragic and serious situation!
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.””
Joshua 1:9 (ESV)
