Overgrown

This is one of the garden beds in the back yard.  Completely overgrown.  I seriously need to get in there and clear a lot of that out.

This one, also in the back, has had a partial clearing.  My minions (the chickens) got a pretty good start on the clearing of this garden bed.

Obviously,  I did not do a very good job of supervision here.  They've gone a little further than I intended.  There were plants here before they started their work.

One of our so-sweet neighbors sent over some magnolia blossoms from her tree to welcome Miss Ru home earlier this week.  Aren't they pretty!  And the fragrance is delightful.

Mr. Jack is so glad to have Miss Ru back in his world where she belongs!  He would not leave her side the first day after her return.

Ariel, too, is glad to have her Mama back home.  As are we all! 

Ruthie is one of the strongest people I know.  You would never know from a casual visit with her how very determined she is to live and to succeed at whatever she undertakes.  She has a faith in God that has been tried in the fire and proven trustworthy.

I don't have any sewing pictures to share with you today, though I have sewn more on the batik quilt.  I'll try to do better next week.

Hope you're having a good weekend!

Hugs and kisses,
