Did I tell you I LOVE my back yard?

My yard is my respite. I couldn't be more grateful for its beauty. Yard work is my therapy but I cant take full credit. Bob Long has longgggggggggg been my yard guy. He just knows the look I like. We spend time in the back yard moving plants like someone would move furniture. We are always collaborating for the best look as the plants grow and mature. Most afternoons that are nice you will find me in the swing on the porch. Its peaceful. If someone comes over for a visit - yep its out to the porch. Its a place of cookouts, counseling, praying and swinging.

Candace tickles me when she comes home. She heads straight for the hammock - even if its 10 o'clock at night. She swings and swings and swings. Colby and I will have early morning talks when he is home. Jenny and Kris prefer afternoon talks!!! I love them all. Tim & I are "grillers" Most afternoons we put some meat on the grill, fix a good salad and are just as content as if we were at a fine restaurant. The back porch is another room in our house and the back yard is our personal masterpiece!!! I LOVE my back yard :)

I LOVE my back yard

 

Spring has sprung

I am ready for Spring. I LOVE Spring! I love planting, digging and all that therapeutic stuff. My cherry blossom trees are gorgeous! I especially love early morning in the spring. I often go out on my back porch to do my early morning bible study. Birds are singing (for real), the whole earth seems to just be waking up. All the colors are vivid. The green trees are greener, the sky is bluer and God is so evident. I don't know how anyone couldn't believe that God exist. His artwork is all around. I am glad Spring has sprung!
