A LITTLE CORNER OF THE GARDEN



















Leaving tomorrow for a family vacation.
We are traveling to the Smoky Mountains in Tennesee.
Know we will have a wonderful time.
Feel truly "Blessed" to have such a wonderful family.
I will be celebrating my 75th birthday while we are there.

Birthdays are good for you.
Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest. : )

"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."
Psalm 90:12

See you in August....hopefully with pictures of God's incredible creation.

BLACK-EYED SUSAN










TFT: Sometimes we are so busy adding up our troubles that we forget to count our blessings.

DAISIES




The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right.
"But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." 1 Timothy 6:6-7Posted by Picasa

SHADOWS

Posted by PicasaJUST AN IDEA: A young man was employed by a large bank at a very modest salary. He soon began dressing flashily and bought a new car.
Finally, the personnel manager asked him, "How is it that you, who are only making $150 a week, can spend what must certainly be $500 a week or more?"
"Why, it's simple," the clerk replied, unabashed. "There are some 300 employees here, and every payday I raffle off my paycheck at two dollars a ticket."
Have a blessed weekend.

JULY SURPRISE

When I went out early Sunday morning to "check out" the garden, I noticed this beautiful thing peeking out from under the green.
Yes, it is an
iris in July!
How great
is that?




I don't know if it's a "late bloomer" or really ahead of it's appointed time.

JUST PLAIN SILLY
