Trimming Bushes & Gospel Music

Memorial Day

In a continuation of working on our patio greenery, I purposed to attack the bushes.  Cerwin usually does this job each spring, but with his heavy schedule due to building a TFC chapel – attempting to have it finished by the Truck Rally on June 24, I thought this is one thing I can do to eliminate some yard work for him.

 As you can see, it was time to give these bushes a haircut!

When Cerwin came home from the TFC shop in the late afternoon, he was pleased with the finished look – as was I.

Though both of us were weary, we followed a strong desire to go to a nearby, private park to hear a concert by Simple Grace.

We arrived early, as did our friends Earl and Arlene.  Since it was a beautiful evening, she and I decided to walk around the grounds.  Arlene loves lighthouses and was pleased to pose next to this one.

The gazebo.

Looking toward the pavilion – building with brown roof to right of lighthouse – where the evening concert was being set up.

We were so blessed by this talented family from Nebraska.  One of the oldest of their eight children was not along on this tour, and the two youngest were not on stage when I took this photo.  They have a sound – folk/bluegrass gospel – that blesses my soul.  Plus they add humor and interesting family stories.
