Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Early April I am enjoying springtime more than ever ~ after the l-o-n-g winter… …and seeing flowers with fresh joy. Sunshine on flowers is delighting my eyes. Early one morning a pair of mallards came waltzing through our yard ~ also aware that it is springtime. Cerwin raking and picking up thousands of nuts and shells from our shellbark trees ~ left behind […]
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon for a two-mile-plus walk around the neighborhood. I could see evidence that the trees are beginning to bud. There are many small ground flowers along the road… …including dandelion. Pretty tulips in a neighbor’s yard. A few more steps and I was in front of the cows. A pretty daffodil. ~~~ My first […]
In my entry yesterday, I wanted to focus on the recital and each student, so didn’t post these. Jared before the recital. He wanted a suit – would have really liked “tails” – because that is how Tom and Jerry dress for recitals. 🙂 Yes, the cartoon characters. Jere took him to Salvation Army where they found […]
I am used to seeing crocus flowers by March 16 (the anniversary of the death of my mother), but this year they are about two weeks late ~ for the first time in 40 years. Then when they were about to bloom over the weekend, we had snow again. Some that were ready to open were battered […]
This is an update from Grandma on your counted cross-stitch pictures. Ian, I finally have yours finished. I delivered it for framing on Friday. It should be finished by January 31. Jared, I started yours on Wednesday, right after I finished Ian’s. I had to go to A.C. Moore for a few new skeins of thread […]
I am not sure how to connect these pictures of pumpkins and birds, but these are what I have left over after going through and posting my pictures from the first week of October. ~~~ The Pumpkins I took this picture at a place of business just because I thought it was an attractive fall decoration. ~~~ The Birds Male […]
I will start with the Farmers Produce Market. Those who like fresh produce enjoy this area of West Hall. Next to it – as you walk toward Center Hall – are the delicious canned goods. The Children’s area is a fun place for parents and children. It’s also where the children come for amazing face painting designs. The Markley’s always […]
The other day when Tiffani came to my office to work on a project for youth retreat, she brought a beautiful flower arrangement. She said that her mother was looking for someone to bless because they had so many pretty flowers. I do love being blessed! Thanks Dorinda and Tiffani!
Fall is in the air – even if the temperature was warm today – but there are still some pretty flowers in our yard. Give to the Lord the honor that belongs to Him. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holy living. Psalm 29:2 (New Life Version)
The other night when we were at Jeff and Chris’ for the birthday party, we enjoyed watching one of the kittens playing with the long leaves in the vase of sunflowers. By the time I thought of taking pictures, she stopped. The sunflowers were from the funeral of Chris’ Grandpa Cassel earlier in the week.
How is that for title combinations? That is because I wanted to finish the last set of pictures before I post Truck Rally pictures. After installing a ductless heating and cooling system a few weeks ago, and removing wall air conditioners, we either had to change our siding, or have strange-looking spots on the exterior walls. So […]
Cerwin’s Father’s Day included cards, hugs, phone calls, and brunch with Roy and Deb. We met Roy and Deb immediately after church – 11:30 a.m. – and arrived at The Franklin House Restaurant just before noon. Roy loves to find old and unusual restaurants – and was pleased that we had never been here. We were delighted that […]
