My Garden...

At the very end of my flower bed I put a small garden and it is growing!
I am so excited.
It's nothing fancy, we found some scrap lumber that the previous owners left
and made a small raised bed.
The ground is all clay so all winter I added coffee grounds,egg shells, bananas and leaves anything that would compost. This summer I added several bags of topsoil, peat moss, manure and miracle grow. Anything to help the soil out.

I have tomatoes, lettuce, squash and cucumbers

My squash will be ready in a week or so.

We have already had lettuce.... wilted lettuce.
You know the kind with bacon and onions and apple cider vinegar and bacon drippings!
YUM

Unlike the more southern part of the country, we have had lots of rain and it is blooming.
My flowers and shrubs are thriving!
I am so grateful!

Mission Trip

My two older girls set off on a week long mission trip with the youth group this week.
Pray for safety, fun and a closer walk with the Lord.
Pray they are challenged to be more, serve better, and love deeper .

Pray for new friendships!

They will be working on VBS, painting and who knows what else.
Pray they do their best!

Mr. and Mrs. Rogers

Last week I went to Arkansas for the wedding of my sweet niece Kayla
and her husband Joel. It was at the Hendricks college chapel in Conway, Arkansas.
I was so happy to get to be a part of my first nieces wedding.
Kayla and Joel have both just graduated from college and have been dating for 5 years.
They are both young but very sweet.

My daughter ,Darci ,captured this picture of the kiss.

This is the first time in 14 years that we have a family picture of my mom, my sister and my brother.
My brother was the father of the bride and he was nervous.

Her dress was stunning and i loved how she wore her hair.

I love this picture of Kayla and my Mom!
Congratulations to Joel and Kayla
