Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Sunday, August 25 This is what we brought home from the “Share the Harvest” table following morning worship on Sunday. A small cantaloupe, a bunch of red beets, and two different kinds of onions. I sliced the cantaloupe then cut it into eating sized pieces. I chopped both onions and put them in a Ziploc […]

It was about ten days ago when I checked out the soybeans across the road from our house. At that time there were flowers. Today they are showing the beginnings of a bean with their cute fuzzy long formations.
I sat outside yesterday and enjoyed my surroundings while drinking a glass of mint tea – probably the last for the season. After it was processed, I had a gallon and a half of this beautiful golden delight. I put a gallon in the freezer and kept a half gallon in the refrigerator. ~~~ Something […]
Friday Evening, August 23 This year we are giving our children and grandchildren a birthday meal from the menu of a local pizza restaurant, and since Roy and Deb live an hour away, and we have more time than they do, we asked them to choose a pizza place near them. They chose Dolce Vita. […]
My flower app tells me they are New Guinea Impatiens. I enjoy their beauty each time I look out a kitchen window.
One thing I like about crepe myrtle is, that even after full bloom, there are pretty flowers scattered throughout the bush. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~

The other morning when on a short walk – before it got too hot to be outside – I decided to check on the soybean field. This is what I see when standing at the end of our driveway – a soybean field directly in front of me and a cornfield on either side. I […]

If you follow my blog, you will remember Saturday, August 3 when a tree fell on our house during a fierce storm. We are grateful the damage wasn’t worse, but it still took time to get everything back to normal.

When I saw it, I thought, “What a pretty little flower.” It has been especially fun to use my phone app “Picture This” to learn about the flowers and weeds that surround our property. I learned […]
