Come walk through the yard with me















Walk with me through our yard today and marvel at the beauty of spring. I snapped these photos today about an hour before the storm. The flowering trees are in bloom. The wisteria is on the arbor. The pergola and front porch are welcoming spring. Even the dandelions are there to remind me that a gardener's work is never done.
I hope the neighbors like wisteria (forgot to prune and it's overhanging into their yard)


The bottle brush will soon be blooming


This is where we spend many a summer moment.
I love to read in the hammock on lazy afternoons.

Below the candy tuft is coming alive in the wheelbarrow

If you look closely you can see the first rosebud of the season. It won't be long before the roses are in full bloom.

Ah, spring!
I wish I could share the fragrance online
As I was saying.... there's STILL work to be done! But oh darn, I can't do it now....




Here comes the rain!



It's a good thing I picked some of the beauty to adorn the inside.

Recent Trip to Rehoboth

A few weeks ago I was blessed to spend a wonderful long weekend with my sister and my friends in Rehoboth Beach Delaware. We had a grand time and returned home with memories, stories, a few extra pounds, souvenirs, and of course pictures. Click on the video to view.

Nothing OT

I belong to some online groups that are designed to share special interests like reading, cooking, travel, etc. Often replies to a post will get off on a tangent and before you know it, the subject is changed to begin with "OT" for "off topic". In some groups members or moderators will try to abolish off topic posts in order to keep down volume and to keep the posts related to the subject of the mail group. But it's comforting to know that nothing is OT with God. We can go to Him in prayer and pour out our hearts. We can approach Him about anything and everything in our lives and He listens. We don't have to have a religious formula for prayer. If we read something from a prayer book that's okay too if it expresses our hearts. But if the prayer is "HELP" or "God, I can't go on" or even if we lash out in fear or anger, it's okay. It doesn't change the way He feels about us. He loves us unconditionally. He is looking for us ...
