Zach, Nicole and Bryson(photo taken on Zach's b-day)


Whew! Temperatures have definitely risen over the past week across the US and here in the south, we remain dry as a bone. And with no significant rain in the forecast, our garden is truly suffering the effects! At this time, last year, we were harvesting our first tomatoes. This year, we got a later start in planting and now with the dry spell, I'm wondering if we'll have any vegetables come from it! But, there's no need in worrying over it because if it's God's will, we will be blessed with fruits from thy labor. If not, there won't be any canned veggies, or homemade pickles in my house this winter!

There's been much ado since I last posted and a couple of milestones were reached, one being my son turned 18 years of age on June 2oth. Where did those years go, I ask? All too often, I look at him and in my mind, I still see him as a toddler. This gets weird at times, especially when I see him driving off in his truck...in diapers!!! But, that's okay...he'll always be my 'baby'!

Speaking of toddlers? Bryson continues to grow and is walking up a storm! Don't get to see him that often, but I hear he's into everything, but the kitchen sink!! There's nothing slow about him, either! His mom continues to suffer with back problems and is probably facing surgery in the near future. I imagine it's pretty tough looking after a 1 yr.old, when your back feels like it's breaking in half! Prayers continue for my sweet niece...

Til next time, blessings!
