little bit of this and that :)

first and foremost in importance...

the discover of birthday tiramisu cheesecake.

Yes. you heard it right.

The most elegantly

delicious

and wonderfully (nutritious ☺)

produce of the CF.

almost 2nd in importance

yellow blossoms

announcing

the soon arrival

of cherry tomatoes!

this little white flower/weed

growing

quite

alone

in the

"desert" dried out grass...

been thinking about Samuel.

and his mom.

Even after being falsely accused

of intoxication

by a church leader whose lack of (something)

well, let's just say

not a whole lot of "integrity" was going on in the temple.

So Hannah drops her son off

to be raised in THAT environment?

hello...Hannah, the chances of your son becoming corrupted

in the "house" of God are pretty high...

silent. (me)

That must be faith.

Hannah's faith.

Samuel's faith.

Eyes on God. That's it.

Not distracted by the sin and evil going on around.

Jesus. strength?

to be the little white

that blooms on

right where it is planted.

my mother's day baby rose bush

coming back for a 2nd time

after the first

accidental weed whacking (is that a word?) :)

nope. not a baby bunny, but that soft!

life

and death...

are in His hands.

Life and death 101.

When a close family member has cancer

breathing is grieving...and sometimes

 life must have laughter

 mixed into the changing "normal"

that suffering does.

 last, but not least...

 probably my favorite next to the

cheesecake

is this little toddler sized

real working Walmart $15 special.

(of course it is not heavy duty)

but it IS pink 

light to carry 

and is

"fought" over by sisters

who impatiently wait for turn

so... house is one vac closer to

becoming clean. ☺ (laughing)
