Give flowers to someone you love.
Including yourself!
Look for someone who would least expect them.
Then bless their day with posies.
Who couldn’t use a smile in the midst of these trying times?
And a reminder that God’s love endures forever!

Like crocuses peeking through snow, spring seed catalogs start poking from our mail boxes about this time of year. They’re a welcome reminder in mid-winter that spring is coming and it’s time to choose our seeds.
When I was a little girl, the arrival of those seed catalogs signaled another exciting event. Making Valentines! [...]

Who would ever guess that a plastic, gallon jug of milk, when dropped from a level of three to four feet, could make such a spectacular splat? Maybe the plastic was brittle from just coming in out of the cold. I don’t know. What I do know is it split open at the bottom, and milk gushed out, spreading a puddle [...]

I only have a minute so I’m gonna make this short. If you love the smell of evergreens but have an artificial Christmas tree, check out the link below.
