That IS funny to think of wearing a mask to our bank or credit union - of course all ours are closed around here.. but feels funny to wear a mask out in public. Glad you have Butch for a friend - our pets are such good companions to us in our lonely times. So good to see that you were able to get some gardening supplies... I know how much you love your gardens and working in the dirt and being outside - it's so good for our spirits and mental moods.. and also physically - keeps us moving which is so good. I'm so envious that you will be getting all those wonderful raspberries pretty soon! I cut mine way down and don't know if I'll get anything this year - I got too carried away I'm afraid! I may buy a couple of blackberry plants - imagine that? I grew up around the Portland/Vancouver area where blackberries grew EVERYWHERE - just like weeds! And not a one here and I miss them. Gardening brings such pleasure doesn't it? As one lady said, you are so steadfast in your faith - I surely admire that... hugs..

I pray that God's presence will cover you there and you will see His loving hand in your life. Yes, He does answer prayer. <br />You're a brave woman to do that surgery on your dog.

There is much to be grateful in it. You found plants available for purchase to brighten up your garden! We drove by our Home Depot today and thought the lines were a LOT too long to wait. I'll go another day. A sweet, sweet photo of little Butchy. Oh my! He is darling.<br />You know I agree with you wholeheartedly on prayer. When I think of the sacrifice Jesus made for each one of us and that he and the Father love for us to communicate with them through prayer, it humbles me so much. Who am I in this immense universe, that the One who made it all wants to hear my little insignificant thoughts? But, to Him they aren't insignificant. Connie, I take you to Him in prayer every day. That you will feel His arms wrapping around you and comforting you.<br />Wishing you a week of comfort and peace as you find your new normal. <br />Love and Blessings<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-62505865445873051002020-04-19T19:11:18.457-07:002020-04-19T19:11:18.457-07:00I chuckled when I read about your visit to Home De...I chuckled when I read about your visit to Home Depot.

And to think he held nice and still. He's a great little furry friend.<br />We went to Lowes this morning to buy tomato plants and there was quite a long line-up outside. They were only letting a few people in at a time. But we got our "Early Girl" tomatoes. I had bought some smaller plants but they were all the cherry type and we wanted some slicers as well.<br />Take care, dear friend.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-75797639474294107032020-04-19T13:18:50.049-07:002020-04-19T13:18:50.049-07:00Glad you were able to get some things to start a g...Glad you were able to get some things to start a garden.
