My Zinnia

My one red Zinnia.
They are one of my favorite flowers.
I had intentions of planting a huge plot of Zinnias this year.
Sadly I didn't get to do that.
Next year...
Have a blessed day..be thankful for all the good things in life.
The Good is always more than the bad.
Love,
Shirley

Thinking Right

Recently I read where doctors have determined that thinking pleasant thoughts
makes the brain stronger.
The Lord knew it in the beginning!
Have a blessed Sunday.

Eucalyptus and Spearmint

I make my own soy candles, for my family and friends.
I always let them cure for at least two weeks before lighting.
This is a new scent...I didn't know how it would smell.
It is a very clean and fresh scent.
I like it, and I love my candle making hobby.
My family likes it too!
Have a blessed day.
Love,
Shirley

Beautiful Blooms

The Crape myrtle trees are in bloom in our area.
This one is in my yard.
It was just a very small sprout when I planted it...44 years ago!
I never grow tired of these beautiful pink blooms.
We are so blessed.
Love,
Shirley

Old and New

Honey Crisp apples.
Huge, delicious...and pricey!
This is my Mom's old antique Ball jar.
I painted and distressed the other two jars.
They are Mom's old jars too.
Precious memories...and good eating!
Love,
Shirley

Thankful


It has been awhile since I posted any thing on this blog.
Taking a bit of time to " stop and smell the roses'.
And being thankful for all the good things the Lord has allowed to come my way.
It is very hot and dry..still I love the month of July...my birthday month!
They seem to be coming more  frequently in the last few years!
Have a blessed day.
Love,
Shirley
