Your roses always look so clean and healthy...do you have a special secret for them. By now, you may know roses are very difficult for me. I do love them though.
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

Roses lasted all the way to Christmas here, too. I love the thought of Christmas Roses. Your other blossoms look festive, too.

Beautiful roses. The orchids are fabulous.

Gorgeous! -- and a special treat for those of us in the frozen north. Thanks for sharing these. -Jean
It's nice to see some foliage & flowers! We are covered in snow here, but there's a wonderous beauty in snow. Hope your Christmas is joyous!
PS: Love the blue bottle tree!
What a treat to have so many blooms at Christmas! Beautiful!!
Had to come back for another little 'fix' of bloomin' freshness ;)
Thanks everyone ~ I will do my best to keep pictures posted for you all to enjoy to help remind you that spring will come for you soon.
