“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:33-36‬

 

So many simple, yet things of wonder to encounter on a drive through the country. There’s wonder because all things have a story!

  
The volunteer crop in one of last year’s cotton fields is not what you would normally consider if you set out to find some spring color, but we are glad we didn’t pass this by! READ MORE

Strawberry Season

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Family, Food & Entertaining, Outdoors, Spring

“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15:1‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends. We have enjoyed the most beautiful weather this week and have been able to complete several outside chores and projects. I am excited to report that some zinnia seeds were planted, but not all. Hopefully the seeds that have been planted will not wash away as our forecast calls for rain and some possible storms. 

Today, I am celebrating strawberry season, in honor of the red juicy sweet fruit that is at the heart of so many wonderful desserts! Maybe we should proclaim another National Strawberry Day? The “official” day is February 27th but what is wrong with two? Or at least we could call it Regional Strawberry Day!

 

This photo is a few years old, but strawberry pickin’ is always a fun outing, especially when you eat a few straight from the vine!

I shared this photo on Sunday’s post, a basket of fresh strawberries from our local farm last year!READ MORE

Cherry Blossoms

~ Easter, Everyday Living, Faith, Outdoors, Spring

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬

Hello sweet friends. We have enjoyed a gorgeous spring week gardening and catching up on outdoor chores. With Easter weekend approaching, we see the beauty of new life all around our Appalachian Foothills. Evidence is everywhere but nothing rivals the beauty of our flowering cherry tree when it makes its debut!

 

“Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough.”
-A.E. Housman
