It took Phillip about 10 seconds to fall asleep in this Ahmi's arms!!

He knows a professional hugger and love giver-outer when he sees one and feels safe with her!!

What an absolute JOY to have dear friends and a portion of their sweet crew down on the farm today!!

Captivated by Beauty in the mundane in the middle of a field

Loved sharing a Memorial Day picnic with family and friends on the front porch today!!

One of my greatest JOYs is spending time with our grown up kids...

and when their people chose to be with us too, what a happy bonus gift!!! 

As I was leaving, I noticed several still "hanging" around and it made my heart so glad!!

Proof that I share snuggling responsibilities sometimes!

My best guy speaking my love language by helping me add beauty to our Oasis this morning!!

"Yes, there will be an abundance of flowers and singing and joy!

The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Lebanon,

as lovely as Mount Carmel or the plain of Sharon.

There the LORD will display His glory, 

the splendor of our God.

With this news, strengthen those who have tired hands,

and encourage those who have weak knees."

Isaiah 35:2-3

Grateful for my resting place for the remainder of the afternoon!

We feasted in the Oasis, fellowshipped all afternoon,

 then took time to focus on some photos from Enoch's past season. 

What joy to remember the LORD's steadfast love and faithfulness!!

"Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!

His faithful love endures forever.

Give thanks to the God of heaven.

His faithful love endures forever."

Psalm 136:1, 26

A successful, no tears day with my favorite nurse team and they agreed I needed a treat!

Watching a storm roll in fascinates me.

Tonight, I'm thanking God for His protection for some people I love 

and also some well timed hugs...and a giggle about why I'm allowed to "draw on myself" 

 

05.15.23

Two things about these raindrops make me happy. 

Well, more than two, but two that I'll count right here...

1. This hydrangea is flourishing!! I thought it was a goner and it is making it!!

2. On the drive back home after getting her new hearing aids, Aunt Frances could HEAR this rain!

Oh, how I love a day at the ballet!
