Is there anything more inviting than a room full of tables, set with seasonal decor and individual desserts just waiting for you to choose a spot? I had the opportunity to speak at a church in Early, IA for a women’s gathering last Tuesday. I was shown the most pure hospitality. I think the thing I loved most was the little prayer card that was at each place setting, instructing you to sing the prayer with those at your table when your table was full. Hearing different groups sing as the tables filled added another dimension to the meal-time experience. To top it off? They sent me home with bonus cupcakes!!
Happy Fall, Friends! 🙏🍁🧁

Gave the rainbow chard and kale a good trim after being on vacation … the goats and alpacas next door are happy about it too!

What makes the PERFECT BLT for you?
1. White, Wheat, or Other bread? Toasted?
2. Crispy or chewy bacon? How many slices?
3. Thick or thin slices of tomato?
4. Mayo? Salad Dressing? Other?
5. Leaf lettuce or Iceberg?
6. Is the first BLT of tomato season better than the last?

I don’t know why I took this picture. Yes, the image of the utility pole in the side mirror of our vehicle caught my attention. I decided to snap it. The message revealed itself as soon as I looked at the photo: Objects in mirror are closer than they appear”.
Look closely … 3 crosses. Look closer … zoom in … 4.
I think of that 4th cross as mine.
My contribution to Christ’s sacrifice. My sin. My failure.
And yet … that front and center cross is closer than it appears. God is close. He is present. He is my saving grace and my salvation.
He is close.
He is closer than we think.
Happy Sunday, friends!

A realistic tour of my garden … sometimes it’s important to see the less than perfect parts that exist right alongside the pretty photos and videos.
Do you like to see the not-so-perfect? Or should I spare you the drama?

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, then I just crashed a cart of crunchy cucumbers!
Good news? This was only HALF of the cucumbers I picked today!
So tell me, all you crafty cooks … how would you prepare or preserve this plethora of produce??
I’m in a pint-sized predicament here.

It’s just a tomato. Or is it more? I recently learned that a retirement/nursing home in our area could use my extra garden vegetables. As I was packing up cucumbers and zucchini, my contact at the home texted me and asked if there was any chance I had one extra ripe tomato. I told her I already had some packed up for them. When I arrived she said that an older couple was moving from independent living to assisted living that day and lots of things had not gone smoothly. She had asked one of the couples’ children if there was anything she could do to make the day better for them. The daughter said, Dad loves fresh garden tomatoes.
One tomato … ok maybe two 😉 … put a smiles on their faces.
God talks to us.
Little things make a big difference.
I think I’ve got some more tomatoes to deliver. They probably prefer them to zucchini anyway! 😂
