I was thinking of this scripture this week: The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the  earth , and  all  things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its  motion , yea, and also all the  planets  which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator. I love taking care of the flowers in the summer. I often bring home sad, little, flowers, but they thrive once they can spread out their roots and sit in the sun. I have a soft spot for Gerber Daisy's and this one has bloomed all year. And here sits my mini rose from Valentines Day. I love having the flowers. They attract butterflies and humming birds and they just make me happy. I feel like I would be missing out if I didn't say something about the eclispe I was at work.

I mean, I'm happy they are there and they are well taken care of, but who wants to use a passport to be able to see their grand children.

Summer Days

We have a small Farmers Market here. It was Sunflower  Day yesterday. I like the edible ones too. Even if I gave them to my boys. I did buy some veggies too. It's nice way to spend an hour on Saturday morning. I am always surprised by how many people I visit with. My daughter asked if we would meet her at Redfish Lake for her birthday. That's not really a hard sell. I love this place.  Yes, I realize that there is no picture of Callie. I lost it on my phone. But she was there and I made her a cake. Did I mention that grand daughter #5 has arrived. I am looking forward to holding her this week.
