Thirty Days of Thankfulness - Day 26

Ok, y'all, this is getting tough.  But, really, it shouldn't be!  How unbelievably blessed are we all?!

Today, I'm thankful for the Bible verses God sends my way just when I need them.  I can't count the number of times that has happened over the years, and it's usually during a very trying time.  What a blessing to be able to look to God's word and find those words of comfort.

Day 26 of my Thirty Days of Thankfulness posts:  I'm thankful for Romans 12:12 which I am committing to memory...ok, I know it's not a tough one, but it has much meaning.  And, I want to be able to call it to my mind in any situation.

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

Words to live by.

    A beautiful Bible verse. Thanks for posting it. What happened to the font you used in yesterday's blog? I thought you might have intuitively used it since your dad and I had eye appointments yesterday! :) Love you.

      I didn't do anything different with the font...strange!

    Well, I just checked yesterday's blog again and it's back to the regular font you have been using. That is weird!!! Yesterday it was a bolded black and more like a Sans Serif or a font that was more like print rather than cursive. Maybe it just knew my eyes (after dilation and super strain from the testing I had undergone) needed something easier to read!! :)

Monday Musings (5/4)

~I'm in the mood to decorate my backyard with beautiful flowers, especially along the fence line. I was thinking rose bushes. But, then. I get email notifications from a company called Joss & Main often with discounted prices and good deals, and today's email showed that, among other things, they had their garden items on sale. I clicked on over and saw the prettiest hydrangeas! I ADORE hydrangeas. We had them in our wedding, and they were so simple and beautiful. Unfortunately, they already sold out of all of their hydrangeas!!  BOO.  I'll keep looking around to find some good deals.  If you're also in the gardening mood, check out their sales . Maybe they'll have the plant, garden item, outdoor furniture, or other item for around the house you're searching for. ~Saturday morning, my mom and I took the kids to our local consignment shop. They were having a birthday/reopening/moving celebration and had prizes and food and a man doing face painting. ...

Introducing....

I know I left you all in suspense. Right now I'm running on very little sleep (we were awake for 25 hours straight, & I've slept an hour and 45 minutes total since then), so this is more informative and less story-like--his birth story will come later. I have to tell it, at some point, because it was nothing short of amazing.  And traumatic.  And I may have to gather more details from those who might remember it more clearly. So, without further ado... (And with a very grainy picture from my iPad taken in the early light of day--6:45), I'd like to introduce you to our son. Jack Campbell Born on 6-11-13 at 1:11 am (he's almost 6 hours old) Weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces (praise God!!) and measuring 18.5 inches long.  He's entirely too precious for words.  We feel ridiculously tired and immeasurably blessed. Thank you for praying!

In the Beginning...There Was a Garden

Image
Y'all, I'm feeling the itch.  It's more of a tick, really.  We've got this huge backyard (which really is not very pretty right now...I'm sure the overcast weather isn't helping my view), and I am itching, ticking, jonesing to start a garden. I love flowers, but I'd rather plant veggies and fruit.  The problem is that I have no idea where to begin.  None.  I've searched and searched on Pinterest, and there are tons of blog posts and articles about gardening, but I'm having trouble just getting started.  What do I do first?  When do I plant? What kind of  soil?  How much sun/shade? Where do I plant? Side of the yard? Back of the yard? Along the fence? Out in the middle? What do I plant? Cucumbers, definitely.  Bell peppers, most likely.  But, what else? What's your favorite, easily grown fruit/vegetable? What pests do I need to worry about?  I also need to keep in mind that I have two ...
