My Garden Invader
I have loved designing this little garden pond and stocking it with Koi and Goldfish. The daily enjoyment begins each morning watching the birds shower in the waterfall as I have my coffee. Some time ago, looking out my back door, I saw an intruder. I started to say, “an unwanted guest […]
Was I Dreaming?
Dreaming that I’m praying is not that unusual. But I woke up from a dream where I was praying for a friend and it was such a sweet encounter that I started praying for others in our little ‘tribe’ with such love and gratitude and asking God’s blessing on each. Now wasn’t that really sweet? […]
Pulling Weeds
A friend once said she really LIKED to pull weeds. So much so, that her husband couldn’t understand why she didn’t let the gardener do that, & probably thought she was a bit nuts. Now I have to agree with him to some degree ~ I would definitely let the gardener do it ~ if […]

Getting a Word in Edgewise
I recently saw a friend I hadn’t seen for awhile. It was a nice visit; she talked nonstop catching me up about everyone in her family, friends, family’s friends, medical info of each as well as her own, etc. It was nice to see her and to catch up. After about 30 minutes or so, […]
