Our spring has been beautiful beyond description.
And since Tom’s been home since his surgery a month ago, we decided to brighten up our back porch and deck with some hanging baskets of flowers, as we sit out there several hours a day, some days. This is our view from our old white wicker furniture nestled up next to our living room windows out back.
Here are some closeups of our new stand with the four shepherd’s hooks and some of God’s brightest petunias and miniature petunias.
The big window you see there is our bedroom, which faces south across the deck.
And here is a close up of my geranium I bought last spring as I’ve found geraniums to do well for me, the least green thumb gardener I know. I call them happy plants, as nothing I do to them – or fail to do – fazes them. They always bloom brightly, and this one is this year, more than ever!! Thank you, God!
This photo I like, in particular. It shows all of the bright blooms at their best, despite me breaking off and breaking back bunches of overgrown limbs from the plant last winter.
Finally – I want to share with you a wonderful glass hanging we bought on my birthday/our anniversary March 2. It is hanging in our breakfast area in one of the windows facing west and southwest, so as to reflect the afternoon sunlight. Isn’t it terrific, bright & beautiful?! I hope that I can shine as much as God’s blessed child as all of these lovely things do in our home.
Here it is full length, filling our long window.
There was no sunshine that afternoon, but my kitchen was still filled with color!
It is stormy out here today and dark. Many across Tennessee are suffering from flooding rains and tornadoes, but we pray God will look down on us all with grace and fill our lives with loveliness.
Cheers! And many blessings to each of you today!
