MAY 2021

My friend and neighbor from across the street brought me this lovely bouquet for the first of May. Her peonies are absolutely lovely this year, and I was thrilled she shared these with me.  Sharing our bounty -  whether these are flowers, food, time, talent, whatever we have to share is a blessing and gift to others.  When the world all around seems to be losing its thoughtfulness and kindness - we should make a point to be even more kind and caring of others around us. 

"You cannot do kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A part of kindness consists of loving people more than they deserve."

-Joseph Joubert

"Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end."

-Scott Adams

"Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier."

-Mother Theresa

"Have you ever noticed how much of Christ's life was spent in doing kind things?"

-Henry Drummond

May is one of the most lovely months in the year to me. Let us enjoy the month and do good as we go along.

One of the reasons I am late getting this month's blog out is because one of my granddaughters is getting married this month in my garden. We have all been about to kill ourselves working trying to get things planted and done before the big event (and pray it doesn't rain that day.) The picture above is one we hope to replicate for the day.  She wants a wild flower like setting.  An outside wedding is beautiful, but you do have to gamble with the weather, especially in the spring when showers pop up often. We have a back up plan, but hope we don't have to use it.  I am excited to have the wedding here, but on some days lately I have questioned saying yes to this. But Anna is worth all the effort!  Hopefully I will be able to share some pictures in June with you. She and Jacob plan to be married across the creek in my treehouse area in the woods, but then have the reception in the back garden area.  A friend gave us old pews to use in the woods and it makes a glorious chapel under the trees. 

The bride and groom-to-be are the sweetest, dearest people. Of course I am prejudice, but they truly are. I pray they will have a wonderful wedding day and that their love will grow stronger day by day and year by year.

A friend of mine, Susan Reichert,  has a new book just released on Amazon which I want to recommend to all of you. I have known Susan for several years now, and have found her to be a dedicated and strong Christian. She is a true prayer warrior and lives her faith.
