Where Love Blooms

~ Appalachian Foothills, Coffee Table Talk, Floral Arrangements, Monday Morning Blooms, Valentines Day

Hello friends and Happy February! We have been experiencing bitter cold the past few days in our Appalachian Foothills of Northeast Alabama! We only saw a few snowflakes, but I know many of you had significant snow and it is probably still on the ground.

“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Can you believe this is the first Monday of February? It seemed January happened while I wasn’t looking. Grab a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and join me in our family room!READ MORE
