The Last Week

It's been a full week with not a whole lot of extra time!  With the spring season comes lawn maintenance and gardening.  Last Saturday, I planted flowers by our mailbox and drafted Kathy to help me with weeding and mulching.  Our flower beds are looking so pretty now!

On Monday afternoon, we had tea with a friend from Kansas whom we hadn't seen in almost a year.  It was good for all of us to catch up with her!  The menu:  apple slices, strawberries, crackers and cheese slices, gluten-free vanilla cupcakes, homemade animal cookies, and (of course) tea.

Kathy and I spent part of Wednesday evening with more special friends.  The IMA gardens were beautiful, and we enjoyed a lovely stroll around the grounds.

We thank the Lord for the beauty of the changing season and for the gift of friendship!  He has truly blessed us with many good things.
