Hello June

Saturday I got a phone call from my neighbor,

 "meet me at the gate"

We have a backyard gate 

that her sweet husband put in, 

so that we wouldn't have to go to the road

when we visited each other :)

Her daughter was given these gorgeous roses

from her students on the last day of school.

She was leaving for a couple of days,

so she gave them to her Mom . . .

who then divided them up and gave me

this beautiful bouquet.  

How sweet and thoughtful is that!

Well, yesterday I was in tears all day

and started a post to say that I was 

stopping my blog. 

Life has been just so hard lately.

Then this morning brought with it 

sunshine and hope.

The thing is, I love my blog . . .

and all of the incredible people

that I have met through blogging. 

How could I even think of quitting?

You are all blessings in my life . . .

and if I quit, I think that I would soon 

find myself regretting my rash decision. 

So, I hope you don't mind terribly,

but I think that you are stuck with me.

I'm a mess at times . . .

but I guess we all have those times.

I've been walking you around our 

little country home.

These are the grape vines.

Everything is young but growing well . . .

this is my row of green beans. 

I have two rows of tomatoes.

Bok Choy 

Turnips

Nappa (Chinese cabbage)

 Green Onions

and this is only a third of the garden :)

Today was a perfect day for washing sheets.

Have you heard the saying . . .

Everything comes out in the wash?

That's what this morning was like . . .

everything forgotten and the slate wiped clean. 

We had a bad weekend 

filled with sickness and fears,

but with the sunshine and 

the fresh breezes, came a new day

and with it came renewed health.

Hallelujah, God's mercy are new everyday.

Just living life one day at a time,

Keep smiling!

Connie :)
