A Colorful Picnic Table

~ Spring, Tablescapes

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends! It has been a beautiful spring thus far in our Appalachian Foothills. We normally skip springtime and go straight to summer, but this year has been an exception. April has given us 60’s and 70’s in the daytime, quite a few nights in the 40’s, and only a few days in the 80’s!

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭73‬:‭26‬ ‭

Long-time readers know that I love color! After all, God has created and designed our world with stunning colors for us to enjoy!READ MORE

“The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I still enjoy getting out and about before sunrise, but with each day, that is a tad bit earlier. As this will be the case for almost two more months, I wonder how long I will awaken in time to continue delighting in the wonders of the mornings?  We shall see!READ MORE

A Peter Rabbit Tea Party

~ Spring, Tea On Tuesdays

Hello sweet friends. I am so happy you have joined me for Tea on Tuesday!

“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: But a broken spirit drieth the bones.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17‬:‭22‬ ‭

All three of my grandchildren love books and always enjoy someone reading to them. The oldest, EM (almost seven) has become an excellent reader and now reads to her younger sister and brother. When both girls were very little, I began reading Beatrix Potter to them. The girls and I are fans of Beatrix Potter’s “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” written in 1902. I have read Peter Rabbit to my two granddaughters more times than I can count. We love watching the short videos on YouTube of Beatrix Potter – The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends. I enjoy them as much as EM and EK. READ MORE
