Time moves along. . . . . the caladiums are up and providing the welcoming atmosphere I love for our front porch. We have had storms roll through several times this week; they have provided water for our plants and yard, and then the sun returns and lawn mowers can be once more heard. We've had power outages with these storms, our 4th time since December's ice storm. Its so odd. 
This evening I hope to get some knitting done on the current projects on my needles. I just completed some typing for my husband who is preparing to teach a new series of classes on Deuteronomy. This morning we worked in the yard pruning back my rose bushes, overgrown shrubs, and clearing away weeds and broken tree limbs.  Its beginning to look good! In the next week or so we'll have french drains put in the back yard along with grading of the soil, sod added, some landscape rocks and decorative grasses planted. I can't wait! Then I shall sit on the back patio with a friend or two, sharing morning tea with scones, strawberries, and non-fat cool whip.  

Truth for Life
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. 
Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
Psalm 37:4, 5

The warm of the sun, the fertilizer, and water and the caladium bulbs develop their foliage. Day by day I see more growth. Its a sweet treat each day to see the growth. I'm planning the additional plantings I'll put with these caladiums, waiting to see where what is needed.

And on our back patio, I have a few photos of the pillows and plantings . . .  to give me a little bit of garden and respite. Not too much, not too little, just right. ;-)

Just finished up reading the book of Job. Each year's reading I learn more. I've enjoyed the reading more as I read Daily Walk's instruction and application ideas before tackling the day's reading. If you would care to subscribe to Daily walk visit:

As I take time to sit on the patio, to water plants, watch birds, read the Word, meditate upon what I've read . . . I think of this:

Be still, and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10
