Saturday's Scribbles

Good Saturday to you from our corner of the world where a nice day in presenting itself.  Our flowers are sharing their beauty and our little veggie garden is doing well.  There are shades of green everywhere.  Yesterday Joel transplanted a Hydrangeas plant that he received last year for arbor day.  He stuck the root in a pot filled with dirt and left it in the garage over the winter.  He noticed this spring that it was growing green leaves and right now it looks really healthy.    He likes those flowers so much but we have had trouble growing them.  Hopefully this one will take hold.

Speaking of hope..........this year growing something seems more important than ever.  With all that is turning 2020 upside down, it just seems good to create something.  Whether is is a garden, a painting, a song, etc.  And doing every day normal. Normal is such a good things when life has been a steady storm for soooooo long. We know the storm is raging, but at times we need to shelter from it,

Last weekend we were able to spend quality time with friends who were back for a short visit after wintering in Arizona.  We set up our garage for social distancing and had two nice long visits together.  We miss them so much and admire them for all they do to serve the less fortunate wherever they go.  Spending time laughing, talking, and praying together was just what was needed in this time of chaos.  God is so good, He plopped them down on our doorstep at just the right time.

Joel has been busy with woodworking, yard work, and biking 10 miles most days.  I have been baking cookies for Joel, doing normal household stuff, walking 20-30 minutes, and  praying.   When stress rises I sit at the table and work on a puzzle, or put on worship music.  We have been blessed to visit with a couple of our kids........take in a little good TV, and enjoy some June porch sitting.  So nice!

Speaking of nice, it seems that we treasure those moments more this year.  A warm breeze, a social distance visit, a ride, a walk, bright flowers, a wave from neighbors,  sitting on the porch, listening to a song, hearing the voices of those we love.  So grateful.

Speaking of worship music.....The McClures are sharing some beautiful music that I wanted to share with you............

Enjoy your weekend!
