In just a few days, we start the halfway month.

 

You all be safe and God bless. ❤️

I still miss you. 💔

Love your loved ones. You all be safe and God bless.

It must be spring

 Even though 85 or more doesn't seem very spring-like. I prefer 70s for spring.

St. Andrew's cross. A member of the St. John's Wort family.

The yellow flower is sow thistle. Quite spiny so you don't pull it without protection! 

Would seem to be Buttercup.

Clover, of course. :)

Wild blackberries.

A few of this year's "crop."

Thistle. Very spiny. Yes, I am behind on mowing. :) I've read some people eat them and they apparently taste a bit like celery. I hope to never need to know. 

I pray you are all doing well. Be safe and God bless. 

I know it's been a while

 Not much to say when you don't do much. I do praise God for each day He gives me now.

It will be 2 years next month that my husband went to Heaven. Sometimes it doesn't seem that long; others it seems like much longer. 

Old oak leaves are falling in the wind, and the birds are singing. A short video.

And the wild blackberries are blooming. 

And the oak trees are blooming. I never really noticed before, but I was out today and I realized all the light greenish I had been seeing on the oak trees, were flowers.

The second picture is a cropped "close up". As you can tell, they are quite a way over my head.

I want to apologize for not commenting like I used to. Seems I never have enough time for everything. 

We are nearing the end of the age, I think. Though as we know, know one knows the time.

But Jesus will be returning soon, I think. Praise God for that. 

If anyone still reads, thank you. You all be safe and God bless.

Belated Happy New Year!

 If you are anywhere in the cold stormy weather, I pray you are safe and warm.

If you live in California, I pray you are safe from the fires.

For some reason, "Do You Hear What I Hear" has been on my mind a lot lately. While scanning you tube, I came across this unusual version. I hope you enjoy it.

You all be safe and God bless.

And for Christmas, a song I have always equated with Christmas.

Hallelujah Chorus, from Messiah | The Tabernacle Choir

Have a very Merry Blessed Christmas!

This group was one of my husband's favorites. Mannheim Steamroller Special Live Performance "O Holy Night"

Merry Christmas and God bless.

A tiny update since the month is almost over.

 Doing well. We are blessed.

Been feeding birds. Cat TV as I call it for our 4 cats. :) They do not eat all the seed. Quite messy actually.

Here is a volunteer sunflower my son took a picture of yesterday.

It is growing near a planter with what is called "Blue Boa Hummingbird Mint". I do enjoy watching hummingbirds. I also have a planter with Impatiens growing. Red flowers there. But no picture, sorry.

A closer shot of the sunflower.

Some of my Zinnias. This is when they were looking better. They have grown quite bigger than expected since then. Quite literally falling over themselves. 

Hummingbirds like them, too. :)

As do little butterflies. At least I think it was a butterfly. :)

We've been enjoying a nice change from the normal Louisiana heat and humidity from summer, with temps below 90, but still humid.

But now summer with be returning next week, along with the heat. I thank the Lord that our AC is working.

You all be safe and God bless.

Crazy thunderstorms the last couple days

 Birds waiting out the rain.

After the storm.

A few zinnias.

Look at the spines on this weed!

Hurricane season starts soon.

You all be safe and God bless.

The year is nearly half over!

 

You all be safe and God bless.

Hard to believe

 it's been a year.

Miss you, Hun. 

Thank you, Lord for taking him home to you and making him whole again.

You all be safe and God bless.

More memories on this Easter Sunday

 2010

Sometime in 2022

Early 2024

Thank you, Lord for watching over us, for blessing us and keeping us safe.

He is Risen!

Be safe and God bless.

Memories

 

This is what you get when you can't mow

 besides long grass..

I did some reading and apparently bees love thistles. And it takes 2 years for them to flower.

You all be safe and God bless.
