Great looking rosebud. It is raining here to day. We need it as the gardens were getting a little dry. No plans but resting. Society doesn't really promote rest but God knows that we need to stop, sit, and rest. Take time to really appreciate His creation and our lives.
A very happy Fourth to you! This is an amazing country full of incredible people. It is a very fitting flower you chose for today. Full of beautiful potential for greatness just as our country is.
I have taken your garden tour. Your yard is welcoming, places to sit and linger. Your blue bottles inspired me to start my blue bottle garden too. No comparison to my neighbors
Gardening with the 3 H's can be a challenge ~ heat, humidity, and hurricane season. Flowers bring me joy and I spend as much time as possible in my tropical/cottage gardens .
When not outside I can be found inside crafting in yarn, thread, beads, ribbon, buttons and laces. I also love to cook and bake.
Thank you for taking the time to visit.

This blog was started in 2008. It has been about life shared with my dear husband and best friend.
He went to be with Jesus 9 Dec. 2012, and my life changed. I miss my husband daily, but God is my strength, and He is with me through each and every day.
Hubby & I will be reunited again one day and what a reunion that will be.
I enjoy gardening, needleworking, reading and music.
Every day is a learning experience.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.
It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

The Continuing Journey
A new blog about this next phase in my life. It will be a learning experience. One of dependence on God to fill the void left in my life by the loss of my DH. It will be my thoughts and times of grief. A place to let it out. Maybe it will be of some help to others.

For Widows
******************
I found the book 'Undistracted Widow ~ Living for God After Losing Your Husband' by Carol Cornish, online when I was searching for bits and pieces to help me as a new widow. This book is wonderful and just what I needed. It is full of encouragement and scripture.
I highly recommend it for anyone who is a widow, and for those who would like to know how to help widows as they go and grow in this next part of their journey.
It would also be a great help to any woman who is single, as it is all about trusting in Jesus for all things.
Sincerely ~ FlowerLady Lorraine

Good morning everyone ~ I hope you all enjoyed your holiday yesterday. Thank you for your wishes for a great day here also.
L.D. ~ Glad you got some rain. We've had so much lately our ground is soggy. Resting is a good thing. We don't do enough of it.
L.D. and LeSan ~ Glad you liked the rosebud. I didn't have a red,white and blue picture, so picked this rosebud, which is from the rose 'Love'.
LeSan ~ I liked what you said about the bud, *Full of beautiful potential for greatness just as our country is.*
Have a lovely Sunday.
