Planning a Party - No. 2

Wednesday, June 17, 2015

Last week I shared the decorations for my parents 50th wedding anniversary, using a collection of succulents. This week I want to show you how I made a few "switch-ups" to create a completely different style party for my 90 year old grandfather's birthday.


A Little Something Lovely - No 10

Friday, June 12, 2015

My first nest of the summer...


It's a Cardinal, nesting in the Privet right next to my back door. I can see it as I walk down the back steps. Makes my heart happy.

Here's a Heart Rock for your Pocket:
I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and song; He is my salvation. 
Isaiah 12:2

Wishing you God's best,

Planning a Party - No. 1

We have two very important milestone events in our family this week. My parents have their 50th wedding anniversary and my grandfather turns 90 years old. Both are cause for celebration, so let the parties begin!


Scenes from the Country - No. 17

Tuesday, June 2, 2015

After living in the city for so many years and returning to the country, I so enjoyed the thick, dense woods that were directly in front of our home. The sound of the wind in the trees and coolness of the dense shade were part of being at home.... until the owner of the property had the land clear cut. I was heart sick. My beautiful woods looked like a war zone for the next few years, but healing has come with time and the woods are being restored. Nature is a reflection of our God who created it. His steady hand is always at work...restoring.


Here's a Heart Rock for your Pocket:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul... Psalm 23:1-3

Wishing you God's best,
Elaine
