Grandpa in the Mountain


Went to Grandfather Mountain with Aunt Pat, Aunt Gail, Maggie, and all the kiddos. On our way there, Lauren asked if we were going to go see "Grandpa in the mountain". : )

Spring Has Sprung

We're always enthusiastic about all the critters spring brings about. This gray tree frog showed up in our backyard. The kids got a kick out of watching it climb up our window with its sticky feet. (Totally cool, if you ask me.) Slightly slimy, it was apparent immediately he wasn't a common toad, despite his bumpy gray appearance.
Anytime we look at these creatures up close, I am again amazed. Don't we serve a great God?!

Cultivating a Green Thumb





This is what I've been up to lately, and I've had such a grand time doing it! These are only a few of the things I've planted. I've also planted knock-out roses, gardenias, a yuletide camelia bush, tomatoes, oregano, rosemary, parsley, blueberry bushes, jessamine, coreopsis, lantana, lady banks roses, peonies, phlox, pinks... the lists goes on. It has been glorious!
I love the spring!
