The Provision of the Lord Posted on May 15, 2013May 15, 2013 By pamela Marveling the sweetness of God and His provisions… our yard is filled with things that seem to be here for ‘whateverailsya’!!

Whose Plans? Posted on April 24, 2013 By pamela It’s sure a beautiful Springtime day here in the Snohomish Valley — it’s the kind of day that puts thoughts of rains and flooding to a very distant memory — though such a great possibility only a few short months ago.

And then each evening seems to be the time I walk around our yard and garden in much the same manner… only the mood and… Read more
Fruitful Posted on November 3, 2011 By pamela As the fruit and nuts and leaves fall from the trees around our yard, I can’t help but notice the poignant reminder that our lives, too, have seasons — and they change. As I reflect on this, I am reminded that the most fruitful season may not appear to be… Read more
Write It All Down Before You Forget Posted on October 19, 2011 By pamela If you spend time with me… you know it won’t be very long before you notice me writing something down. I write lots of notes — I even write notes about notes. Well, tonight in this “write it all down before you forget” blog entry, I actually want to encourage… Read more
Springtime… seasons Posted on March 22, 2011 By pamela The lacy green leaves are slowly appearing and daffodils are beginning to bloom around the old willow tree. Isn’t it an awesome wonder: Every year, every passing season, has its marvelous reminders of the lavish mercy and everlasting kindness of the Lord. May I never take this for granted nor… Read more
Autumn’s ushering in Winter Posted on November 21, 2010November 21, 2010 By pamela It’s sure chilly-chilly here tonight!! The forecast even includes snow! Suddenly it seems to be just fine to give up wishing for warmer days and working in the garden for the year — for now, baking season is here! And around our home it’s time for “special requests.” By this,… Read more
