Standing in the Son Posted on March 2, 2015March 2, 2015 By pamela Though I use it most every day, it’s only every now and then that I take note of the verse imprinted on the cover of the notebook I’m currently using: “May the Lord bless you and keep you, and give you peace.” from Numbers 6.24-26 I have dozens of such… Read more

A gardener’s journal… or a summer log… a season’s log… I’m making one of these so that I can keep a running log of what’s going on in the garden — and what’s *supposed* to be going on ~wink~ in the garden.

Mary Thoughts Martha Hands Posted on October 28, 2011 By pamela I just came across a little note in my basket… and thought, this is just what I’m needing!
