A TFC Project & Some Beautiful Things
Early last week Cerwin and Glenn left for Virginia – with a pickup truck full of supplies – to install a new entrance door in the Wytheville Chapel.
Chaplain David Nispel is delighted to have a new door.
One evening while Cerwin was gone, I walked around our property to see what was growing and blooming in our flowerbeds and woodlot. The memory garden is full of perennials which have filled all the empty areas and make our chairs look cozy among all the foliage.
I noticed that the mulberry branches were hanging low, which means they are heavy with mulberries.

It is important to note that blackberry and mulberry differ in terms of shape as well. As a matter of fact mulberry is oval in shape. On the other hand blackberry is almost round in its shape.

The same is not true with regard to blackberry fruits.
They are quite delicious.
Both mulberry and blackberry fruits abound in nutritional value. There is an abundance of magnesium, vitamin A, vitamin K and potassium in both the fruits and are great anti-oxidants too.
On the other hand both the fruits are low in fat content and cholesterol. This is the primary reason why blackberry and mulberry fruits are preferred to many other fruits and are recommended in diet too. Mulberry comes with the stem whereas blackberry does not come with the stem.
Our shasta daisies are just beginning to bloom. By next week they should be beautiful.
The daylilies are in full bloom.
Yesterday the sky in our area was beautiful with fluffy, white clouds.
Tonight on the way home from Lititz Area Mennonite School Benefit Auction, we saw this hawk flying overhead.
Tonight’s sunset was beautiful.

I love beautiful things!
