Life goes on
It has been almost forever since I have blogged. We have one room of the basement nearly finished. It is the library, and it is beautiful. My little one asked if we get to "do school" in that room, and wanted to start immediately! I told her I needed to put some books on the shelves "right now", but yes, we will be able to "do school" in that room.
I love spring, and I love dogwood trees. We have had a dogwood in the yard of every house we have lived in. The one in the yard of our last house blossomed only once in the 8 years after we planted it. While I was out of town visiting my sister, my husband and little girl planted 2 dogwood trees in our back yard. On Sunday I noticed a tree with just barely opening buds to the left of our driveway. On the way home from church I asked my husband if they were dogwoods, and if they are within the boundaries of our property line. (There are empty lots on either side of our house). When we got home, we looked to see. There are THREE (2 within our property line and one right on the line) to the left of our driveway, and 2 more just outside the back fence (still within our property boundaries.) What a blessing! After being disappointed that the other tree didn't blossom, God has richly blessed me with mature, blossoming, beautiful dogwood trees!
My older son is getting married in 6 1/2 weeks. Last Saturday we spent the afternoon with him & his fiance and her parents. What a blessing to see him in this next stage of life. B & E are both strong Christians. I'm sure their ceremony will be a witness to all of God's love.
