Stormy Day

Lot of severe weather in the area today. In the nearby city of Springfield, there was terrible hail. It did a lot of damage.

The same storm continued to our place but, thank the Lord, we had no damage. I was at work when the storm came and I was worried about the homestead. Jessica made sure the house was ok, but with smaller storms moving through all day, she wasn’t able to get to the garden.

When I got home, I was so thankful to find the plants healthy. There is water standing in places, but that will drain quickly. Thank the Lord for His protection!

Trust in the Lord and keep your powder dry!

Wild Roses

Wild roses are blooming here in southern Missouri. I love to smell the fragrance they give this time of year.

Seeing the wild roses, and thinking about how much I enjoy this time of year, made me think about what God has given us in His beautiful world. “To everything there is a season.” Every living thing has a cycles within cycles of life. Each of these cycles depending on parts of the cycles of others. Only God could make something like this!

Trust in the Lord and keep your powder dry!

Planting Time!

I really enjoy this season. It appears that our last frost has passed (though one never knows for sure) and we are busy planting here on the homestead.

This year I built a seed-starting rack with lights, and have been nursing a batch of tomato seedlings for several weeks.

Now, it looks like we may be done with cold. We were out this evening putting the first few in the garden. It makes me very happy to have tomatoes in the ground again!

Trust in the Lord, and keep your powder dry!
