About Me

Retired, housewife, mother of three. Picking up the pieces after God decided the 145 year old farmhouse was no longer the house for us. Praise God for His mercy and love!

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.
