A Few Changes

In preparation for the coming farm & nursery season (oops--the season already started!), I've changed the labels on some posts and created a new label: PNW Farm Tour. These posts may also contain --besides photos of produce, plants and the like--pictures of the countryside. Hope this makes it easier for any visitors who are looking for more info on just what makes the PNW area so special--besides its rain and beautiful scenery that is :)

Related to PNW Farms, I still need to put together some more posts on farms I visited last year--including a lavender one located on a hillside, a berry farm near that farm and more! Additionally I am hoping to add more farms in both Washington and Oregon.

I LOVE farms

and

I LOVE my Farmer Boy!

Blessings,

Aimee

National Day of Prayer: May 6, 2010

Next week, on Thursday, many in our nation will pause what they are doing--whether it be for a few moments or a full day--and "turn to God in prayer and meditation". With so much suffering and problems in our nation and the world today, I can not imagine a better thing for we as a nation to do. God bless America & you too, AImee

“If my people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.“

II Chronicles 7:14 KJV

Of May Flowers

I love the month of May.

Its flowers of pink, white, lilac, red, orange, yellow and other colors

in so many shapes and sizes

popping up everywhere I look

Yep, I LOVE the month of May...

Photos: columbine (one of my most favorite flowers; I keep adding more each year)

bleeding heart (a beautiful plant--in all its varieties! I LOVE the hearts!)

azalea (I've never seen as many buds and blossoms on them as there are this year)

another azalea--a decidous one near the lower pond

and, again, a columbine!

The Word on Wednesday

“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me: for I am meek and lowly of heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden light.” Matthew 11:28-30 KJV

Blessings, Aimee
