Remember that song...."those April showers that bring May flowers"?....Well, this year here in California it was March showers that have brought forth April flowers. Everything is in bloom; it's not May yet, and it's 82 degrees outside. Warm, sunny, breezy....and is going into the nineties for the rest of this week. So, here it is,… Continue reading SPRING?…..OR SUMMER? SPRUMMER?
My yard is alive with blossoms! So I went around and took photos of them. They are all so beautiful, but the only way to keep them is take a picture. So sad, but they have a very short life. While they are in bloom though, they are spectacular! Some of the blossoms are large,… Continue reading BLOSSOMS!!!!
So peaceful today; slightly overcast. It's warming up as we head towards summer, but my pots and roses are beautiful. Don't know how long I can keep them this way, but I love working with them and right now they are near to perfect! My yellow climbing rose looks more like a small tree....which I… Continue reading FLOWERS, SUCCULENTS, WATER POTS
All around the world Christians are pausing to remember what Jesus did for us on the cross. Incredible to know that He became a man with His death as His goal; that He knew what He would have to go through and He did it for the love He has for us. John 3:16 "For… Continue reading GOOD FRIDAY
Photographs! Boxes and boxes of photographs; and old albums too, what to do with all those photographs; years of picture taking, kids, family members, campsites, road trips, events, Christmases, summer fun, snow, rain, swimming....on and on; photographs chronicling our lives. I have been working on putting together a history of our family; writing down stories… Continue reading PHOTOGRAPHS!!!

Crazy when you consider all the snow and storms that are hitting the rest of the country. I have been buying new plants and potting them....and worrying about… Continue reading MARY, MARY, QUITE CONTRARY; HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?!
We are entering mid-April and it seems that most of the storms have passed. Temperatures are approaching the 70's and the sky is a deep blue. Beautiful! I have been busy potting and arranging pots and making things nice. I bought an electric fountain for the corner behind the front door. Love it! And I… Continue reading SUNSHINE! GARDENS AND PONDS!
Today is another day of plans and anticipation for our fast approaching trip to England. My sister is on her computer, busily purchasing tickets for some of the sights we are planning to see. We have three months and two and a half weeks until takeoff, but the time is passing fairly quickly. There are… Continue reading PLANS AND ANTICIPATION
Have you ever thought about how much of our world is invisible? We take our world at face value so much that we barely recognize that there is a huge portion of our world that is invisible. This invisible world, when it exerts itself, can result in wrong conclusions. During the middle ages people were… Continue reading ACKNOWLEDGING THE INVISIBLE
I woke up this morning hoping for another beautiful sunny day, but alas...clouds are coming in. The sun did start to shine about 9am., but it's a bit weak and I can see those clouds pushing their way in. This past weekend was so nice; sunny, warm and perfect for working in the yard. California… Continue reading SUNSHINE OR RAIN?
