“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

My Glads are blooming ........

....and shamefully, just a few days ago, I vowed to never purchase any again, as they are so straggly-looking when planted by themselves.  Today's gorgeous blooms make me rethink that statement.  I need to just be sure to plant them among other flowers, maybe even other tall ones, in order to truly enjoy their presence.  If I could afford the extravagance, I'd consider blowing up this photo into a poster size to mount on the green bedroom wall.  This photo just came out so beautifully balanced and clear.
This peach color is gorgeous, too, but I love the shading on that top one.
I have a pale yellow/white one blooming that I just can't get a good photo of today.


In sewing news, I started piecing the blocks for the Natalia Bonner quilt.  My-size version will require 15 large blocks and 31 small blocks.  Today I finished all 15 large ones, and made 8 small ones, so far.

In court news, for personal friends and family, the case has been deferred for second review on August 22nd.
