Happy Thursday afternoon, well almost evening. I’ve been busy today and just haven’y Gotten to a point of sitting down to write. What have I accomplished?? I haven’t gotten a lot done but I did get my back yard mowed, I got some stuff done on the computer, and best of all, I made the arrangements for our 2019 family reunion. We’ve all been dancing back and forth with this for six month far as where to go, when to go. Most place won’t take reservations any more that one year out. We had narrowed down a location and a house that everyone seemed to like but it wasn’t open to reservations yet. Then yesterday when I tripped it again, the site said that our desired days were not available/. I was honked off about that. Well, —- it turns out that the days were available, but —- the owners do a Fri - Fri rental and my dates were for a Sat - Sat rental which by computer means the dates were unavailable. So, once I figured that out — I moved our date back one day and it all worked like it should. I am so glad to have that off of my list of things to do. Our last three family reunions have been in Tennessee but this time we are going to Virginia Beach, Virginia. The family now has a year to figure out who is bringing what, who’s going to fly and who is going to drive. Lisa has the short drive this time with only about three hours. Ms. Kate and I and Julie and Jim will have a two day drive to get there, and maybe the same with Josh. Heather and family will fly for sure and we’ll see what Steph and family do.

I still need to go out and mow my front yard and I need to do some weed-eating.  I want to get that done before it rains again. I also need to get my okra seeds planted. This rain and warm weather has made my tomatoes grow. They are already about to top the buckets that I put around them to protect them from the rabbits.. The lettuce is growing like crazy and the beets are doing well too.

I wish you could see all of the beautiful peonies that we have growing around here. They are magnificent; and some of them smell heavenly. We have some white iris that have a wonderful scent too. I do love springtime.

I guess I better quit resting and get busy with the weed eater. Then I think I’ll come in and cut the watermelon that I have in the fridge. That sounds like a refreshing thing to do.

Enjoy your evening and before you go to bed, take some quiet time and give God thanks for this day full of blessings that He has heaped upon you. Peace.
