On my prayer list:::
Please lift up our daughter and grands... their community in MAssachusetts is at a critical stage for Triple EEE Virus mosquitoes which can be deadly.. The community is doing a lot like town spraying, cancelling outdoor activities until cold weather... but there is a climate of fear over the whole town..
Bible verse, Devotional:::
That chicken recipe sounds so good. I didn't get to spend as much time as I usually do on our front porch either. Hope we both get to spend some fall afternoons/evenings on our porches. How very scary for your daughter & her family, the entire community. Prayers for quick, reliable solutions so they can enjoy the outdoors again. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLoving your Fall background. Chicken recipe looks good.
ReplyDeleteHave not heard of that virus but it is scary when viruses are transmitted by common bugs :(
Have a great week
That chicken recipe sounds yummy! And orange roughy, I haven't had that in a long time! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGood evening I hope you have had a great day! I will be praying for daughter and her community! That is truly awful and scary! I know God will protect them. Your menu sounded amazing! I am praying you have a good week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comments on my blog, how I wish we lived closer and could get together and chat about all things England! Have you read Susan Branch's book A Fine Romance: Falling in Love with the English Countryside. It was just delightful. I think I need to start Call the Midwife from the beginning again. There must be a new season coming sometime soon. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI had Chicken Venetian at a local restaurant and it was so good. I will pray for your family. They used to spray for mosquitoes regularly but, then people cried about it and things got worse. I hope cold weather hits Mass, very soon.
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks very inviting to me!
Chicken Venetian sounds soooo good, thank you for sharing the recipe. I love your porch picture, looks so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a blessed week.
Love all the fallishness of your blog! The chicken recipe sounds delicious and I am joining you in prayer for protection over your daughter, grands, and the whole community in Massachusetts. Blessings for a lovely rest of the week! <3
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm running so late this week! I have that same chicken recipe pending in my file to make! I'd send you some Fall if I could - so glad it's here! Have a GREAT weekend.
