THIS N' THAT

My oldest daughter Patty and I took a drive out to visit my dear friend, Bonnie. She has several acres of land, much of which she has landscaped. She has acres of lawn and flower gardens around nearly every evergreen tree, which are mostly very old cedars. There were huge mounds of white fever few with Lillie's tucked in here and there. Huge Hosta's, wild geranium, roses, you name it, she has it. It is like a huge park. The above photo shows one area. The lawn extends far beyond what you can see. Her grandson came to work for her while we were there. She has done a magnificent job!

Here's something from my yard. I think it's Liatris. I think the stringy blossom is so odd and yet sort of pretty.

This is a little rockery plant that I think is really cute. It spreads easily too.

You will probably have to enlarge this photo to see it better.

This tall Snapdragon is special.

When I think of all the times I have messed around with garden soil, composting, fertilizing, watering, etc., and pampered the seeds to get them to grow, this snapdragon made me laugh out loud!

I imagine our Heavenly Father talking to a little sparrow. "Hey you feathery little critter, go on over there and drop a Snapdragon seed on that big sandstone boulder in Bev's yard. I want to give her something to think about!"

The Bible says that if I have the faith of a grain of mustard seed, I can move a mountain. I haven't managed that yet.

But my God can make a seed grow out of a rock as well as move mountains!

I got a way to go!


I often hear people recite a phrase about a lion laying down with a lamb.

I haven't heard one about a tiger laying down with piglets. Apparently she adopted them but

I don't like how she is licking her chops!

This little fawn needed comforting and the mare was handy.

Who loves ya Baby?

When saying the Lords prayer we come to the part, "on earth as it is in heaven" I think of all the animals, two legged as well as four being friends, not enemies.

Can you imagine it?

Hope you all had a good week end, and will have a blessed week.

God Bless you and yours.
