Friday's Fave Five

Hosted by Susanne!

Time continues to fly by!  Here we are again at  week's end and time to  be thankful for  the many blessings we have! 

💗💗 Last week I said it was time to  get some May flowers planted and  we  did just that

Amanda bought me a gorgeous geranium when she was here for Easter so  we purchased some perennials  to    add to the pot  for the porch. Lynn, also, purchased  this lovely  new flag to  tie it all together!

The pansies are   really showing off their bright sunny  radiance  even on this rainy day!

The wall garden  always   shows off this time of year  when things really begin to come up.  I try to  add perennials to this as much as I can

Lynn picked out these  gorgeous  trailing petunias  for the  large pot we always have on the steps out back.  This is the first thing our visitors see

And suddenly in the last couple of days the roses have burst forth in beautiful red and pink. The yellow and  apricot will  open up  soon!

Springtime is a blessing to  everyone Im sure  with its glorious color and 
promise !

💗💗This morning I graduated from one of my therapies I have been working on for the last couple of months!  Hurray for  improvement that really   gives me a new lease on life!  I  will continue to keep up with the exercises  to  keep  my improvement going  on  and on!   I never want to get at the pitiful stage I was  a few months  ago!

💗💗 Amanda and I have instituted a  get together call  for  each week to  help  plan and foment plans for our upcoming trip. We got  a lot accomplished this week   which  is very encouraging, and now  it is  more the small details left to work out .. what to see and do  in each of the three main  places we are staying as we  travel around  Scotland ,( Oban,  a highland castle, and a cozy cottage in Perth.)

💗💗Today I am  ( able to, and very happy about it) baking a cake for the cake walk  at the School Fun Day  our church is  doing  an outreach  to help and facilitate.   I haven't really be able to  contemplate  baking and icing a decorative cake in some time..   I am really looking forward to it today!! Lynn is  making  yummy iced brownies to take!!

💗💗It is so wonderful to be able to get back to our regular activities.  We have been active  at a Bible Study  at Jim and Nita's   for  some years,  but  due  to my  infirmity  and  many appointments Ive had recently we missed many  sessions. I now have two sessions under my belt and am so  thrilled to be back into this groove.  These teachers are awesome and already I have learned so much  from 1 John. Also, we are back to praying  together at Intercessors for America  which  is  a huge blessing and so important to take our concerns to God who is faithful to  give us peace about the many  troubles plaguing our nation.  And Lynn and  I were  blessed to attend the national Day of Prayer yesterday at our church. So few churches around here  open their doors for  this day and our  prayer time was so sweet and meaningful! I do wish more people had attended.   But God doesn't need a crowd for sure. A few deeply committed  prayer warriors can availeth much!
