They planted it near an unsightly electric pole for me. I'd just received my cancer diagnosis. I remember thinking, I shall see this bloom next year. I shall. Forsythia is a bright yellow flowered bush that is one of the earliest blooming in Missouri's spring.<br /><br />I remember my grandma having a little white fence like yours around a flower garden. Lovely.<br /><br />Be blessed and continue to pace yourself my dear friend. I do look forward to the day when we meet face to face. The promise that Christian friends share is great.<br /><br />Your friend,<br />Laura Lane<br />Harvest Lane Cottage<br />Carthage, MissouriMrs. Laura Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334381585683324912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-52640455819760857762017-05-31T03:01:53.584-04:002017-05-31T03:01:53.584-04:00What a lovely place to sit, Mrs. White!

There is just so much to do inside, that I rarely get out to enjoy God's beautiful creation.<br /><br />P.S. I had a little money, so have purchased most of your other books that I did not have already. I'm very much looking forward to them. ♥Blessed Homemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900030206325400486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-82753736199266958622017-05-25T11:04:10.245-04:002017-05-25T11:04:10.245-04:00Jane, maybe you don't know about the health ch...Jane, maybe you don't know about the health challenges that Mrs. White has. She does not strike me as just sitting and expecting to weaken and letting it happen. Please do be careful with assumptions. <br /><br />Mrs. White, I have been considering getting a dogwood, as I just love them in the spring!

I try real hard to build a little bit more stamina by lifting and raking and weeding. It sure is tough after being inside all winter. But being outside truly helps me feel better and the fresh air helps me to sleep!<br />Wishing you a lovely spring...<br />Always, Roxyliving from glory to gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123718369605106023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-90418913046899217212017-05-14T18:41:31.900-04:002017-05-14T18:41:31.900-04:00Fresh air and sunshine and pretty scenery do a lot...Fresh air and sunshine and pretty scenery do a lot to help banish the blues and refresh us.

My grandmother and my husband's grandmother were strong up to their old age. Lots of manual labor involving hanging heavy wet clothes, beating rugs, milking cows, working in the garden, canning with heavy pots of water and endless hours of standing over a hot stove cooking and kneading bread strengthened them, not weakened them. I have had some health set-backs that have sapped my energies, but I am working on building them back up. I want to be able to keep up with my family, not be the weak one sitting at home. <br /><br />Jane<br /><br /><br />Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627928144398775810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-76738294181223539212017-05-12T18:28:20.023-04:002017-05-12T18:28:20.023-04:00The bench looks so nice and inviting out by the st...The bench looks so nice and inviting out by the strawberry garden.
