Welcome to my garden

There are so many jewels in my garden... rich soil, flowers, veggies and herbs, birds, butterflies, hummingbirds, ladybugs, seeds sprouting, the sound of the water fountain, but the best jewels are family and friends when they join me in the garden and share in the peace and beauty of what our Heavenly Father has provided me with. So many jewels, so many blessings. Julie +: )

Summer Rain

These last few days I’ve been enjoying our summer thunderstorms.
They have brought our temperatures down a little bit,
briefly bringing us relief from the scorching sun.
I am so anxious to turn off the a/c and open the windows.
But I’m not holding my breath cause it'll still be awhile.
So for now, I relish the time I can sit under the patio watching the raindrops in the pool, watching our dry and thirsty ground soak up the rain, watching the hummingbirds playing in the rain with as much excitement as kids splashing in puddles of water.
Watching rubber duckie enjoying the cool raindrops falling
on his sun-burnt head : )
It’s nice to turn off the sprinklers for a few days and be thankful of
God’s free water!
"I will give you your rains in due season,
so that the land will yield its crops,
and the trees their fruit" Leviticus 26:4
