Simple Joy Sunday
There are so many things to be joyful about this week. We are so blessed. I hardly know where to start. Since it is Mother's Day, I'll start out with a special thanks to my mom, aka Nana, Nano, and the Nan. She is one very special lady!
My sister's birthday is another thing that's right up there at the top of the joys list. I picked some of "her" flowers to celebrate:
Friends...what would we do without them?!! Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by to help clean up after last Sunday's tornado!!! Your efforts touched our hearts.

This week I have been particularly grateful for my Bundleboo wrap. It gave my baby rest when he was hurting, and it gave my arms a break from the strain of toting him. Levi was so comforted by being all cozy and wrapped up.
And, what would a post be here without a picture of what's growing? The beautiful blackberry flowers have withered away and been replaced by the beginnings of fruit!!! I so can't wait to plunder this thorny mess when those green clusters turn black!
Head to Cool Zebras to join in on Simple Joy Sunday. Hope y'all are having a wonderful Mother's Day full of great joy!!!

Happy Mama's Day, Madeline! I'm so happy to hear that your family, your home, and your garden are safe from the tornado. So scary... And I've actually been praying for little Levi. It must have been a tiring week for you, watching him in pain. There's nothing worse than feeling helpless when your child is uncomfortable. On an up-note, I'm excited for your blackberries! And let's see some pictures of what you've got growing in the rest of your garden! You live the way I want to live. :)
ReplyDeleteDera, thanks so much for your prayers! They have been much needed this week. Levi is FINALLY feeling better. I could do a jig over that one. And I will certainly be posting more pics as the garden progresses. We have tomatoes that are dying to be photographed!

So Glad Levi is feeling better.
