“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

First Tomato of 2017


It's small, but atleast the tomato worms didn't get it !   I found 3 of them over the last 2 days, the worms, I mean, and I smashed them under my shoe !   I hope there will be no more.  I also picked a 3-inch cucumber.  I used to love them small and crisp like that, but my false teeth put an end to that.

And this pink hardy hibiscus blooms out at the edge of my backyard.......it is SO BEAUTIFUL, it doesn't even look real in this photo.

I bought another 2 Coneflower plants last night at work........ a lighter orange one, and a pink one.   They had finally marked them down $3 apiece AFTER I'd purchased 2 at full price of $6.72, so I paid $3.72.  Then, today when I went in, they had marked them to $3 even.  I don't plan to buy more unless they go to a buck or something.

    Hey, thats the first tomato I've seen! Good for you =). We love a mark-down like that too. We often stop at Lowe's to see what they are getting rid of for a dollar. oh...what a wonderful world...full of wonderful things, and often very inexpensive too. That helps! Have a good day my dear blogging friend.

    I like those cone flowers! I bought a pot last year (not cheap though) and I was hoping they'd spread. But they haven't. With all the warnings about tics.....I"m kind of afraid to go outside. Right now, I'll just enjoy the Rose of Sharon trees. Years ago, some kind lady gave my husband lots of plants from her garden and yard when she divided them. What a blessing.
