Happy Day after Christmas to you as well. We had 28 degrees here in North Central Florida this morning. It is 43 now at 6:30 pm and going down low again tonight. I hope you had a blessed and beautiful Christmas! Yes, I am filled with gratitude today. God is so good to us. God bless you!!
We've had 12 degrees 3 mornings in a row and 10 inches of snow Christmas morning. So ready for Spring. Happy holidays to you for the next week to come. Lynn
When I lived in Florida, we would have been squeaking and squealing and would have hauled our coats out for the 43 degrees! I'm in the desert now, and I do miss the fantastic gardens I had when I lived on the Gulf Coast. I especially miss the loquat trees and the citrus we grew. So glad I found your blog!
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
