I'm Alive!

 

I want to thank you all,

for your prayers

and kind thoughts.

It took awhile to get

my lungs cleared

and I still have a dry cough,

but I'm feeling sooooo

much better. 

Good enough to

bake a birthday cake

for a dear friend.

My garden is finally 

starting to grow

and I'm looking forward

to veggies soon.

Again thank you

for your prayers.

I felt the love as

I read each lovely comment.

♥️

God bless you all.

Your blogging sister,

A Walk Around The Garden

Welcome do my humble blog. 

I thought you might 

enjoy a walk around the garden

with me. 

💗

Before we begin, I would like to 

thank all of you for the sweet

comments on my repurposed

chandelier, from my last post.

I'm doing this post 

over my phone so 

I hope it turns out alright.

The day starts out 

with sheets on the line.

 

Followed by checking the garden for weeds 

and anything that needs watering. 

It's still very early in the season 

and I'm still waiting 

for some things to sprout.  

I can hardly do a post 

 without showing off my clematis, 

it's beautiful this year. 

My bridal veil is just starting to bloom.

I think it's called spirea, 

but I've always known it as bridal veil.

The chives are blooming.

After I took this photo 

I clipped all the blooms off

 so it wouldn't go to seed.

  

 

And of course the peonies

always steal the show.

It's too bad they don't Bloom longer. 

Chamomile is blooming. 

If you were here I'd bake a cake 

and make a pot of tea 🥰

A garden tour would not be complete 

without a photo of my helper 

and my doorbell sign. 

I love them both ♥️

Thanks so much for stopping by

and please leave a comment

I enjoy reading them so much.

Spring Walk Through The Garden

 

Spring is in the air 

and planting time has begun.

Normally I don't start planting 

until the second week in May 

and sometimes not until 

the middle of the month,

but our forecast says

no more frost so I'm 

starting early.

Hopefully by Monday

I'll have my garden

completely planted. 

The rhubarb and spring flowers

are strutting their stuff.

Pie anyone?

I just love this 

time of the year!

🌷🌸🌹🌱🌹🌸🌷

This is where I'll be 

spending my time 

this week until I've got

all my plants and seeds 

safely in the ground.

That is if the critters

don't get to them . . .

birds, squirrels, and those

terrible little things

that eat them off

at the stem during the night. 

🌷🌸🌹🌱🌹🌸🌷

Here's to all my gardening

friends . . .

Happy gardening, enjoy the process.

We plant the seeds,

but God causes the growth.

I know that verse pertains to

sharing the gospel . . .

but it kind of fit in

the garden, too 😇

God bless you all,

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)

The Simple Life

Do you remember 

when every backyard had a clothesline . . .

and laundry day smelled like sunshine?

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

I'm an old soul . . .

that has always been drawn to the

simple pleasures in life.

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

Sitting on the porch.

A glass of cold lemonade.

A fresh bouquet picked from the garden.

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

The song of a bird.

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

 

Give me the simple pleasures

in life . . .

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

Relaxing in the evening

with a good book 

or an old movie . . .

feet up, dog beside me,

minding my own business.

Tell me, what is better than that?

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

(That's the good life:)

🌻🌸🌼🌷🌷🌼🌸🌻

DO NOT

WORRY

about anything,

PRAY

about

EVERYTHING

PHILIPPIANS 4:6

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

So I leave you with this . . .

don't get caught up in the

hustle and bustle of this world.

Relax and let God take care of you.

Until by next post . . .

God bless you & keep you.

Your blogging sister, Connie :)
