July

It's July and the numbers of Covid is now increasing in the State of  ND. :(
Oh dear Lord I pray for your creation in this planet.  Romans 12:12 . Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Sunny and temps are mild around here.
I cook, clean, do gardening, read, make crochet and some sewing. I used some time to learn more about Leonard Cohen, Grandma Moses and Hannah Hauxwell. I have always wanted to learn more about grandma Moses and Leonard Cohen is just something that came to mind a few days ago since people that I know were talking about him and I knew nothing about him.
I have been getting spam comments that I have to remove all the time so there might came a time when I will not blog any more because it's annoying. I blog mainly to have it as a journal .  What would I expect of a free blog, right? I am just not willing to pay for a spot to blog.  Therefore we will see how long my patience goes with spam. Meanwhile I hope you're all fine and keeping safe. May the Lord bless you!

 Our son made this pizza, it's a dough that rested a day outside in the counter and then 2 days in the refrigerator. He used fresh mozzarella and we had our own basil from the garden.

 We have lots of lovely fresh vegetables like this from our vegetable garden.

 It's not a proper Summer if we don't have a few Caprese Salad.

This was an incredible lady! I also saw a few youtube videos about her.  Link

Please continue to use masks and keep social distance. Go out only when extremely necessary. My husband has a friend in the hospital with Covid. I had been following the story of Nick Cordero and was so sad when he died a few days ago. There is so much sadness out there my friends, please don't contribute to that.
2 Kings 20:5   “I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you.”

June Flowers.

 It has been so incredibly windy for the past 5 days. The wind is destructive with many plants but it's useful to farmers perhaps to help dry the wet ground.

Astilbe and peonies are doing well.

 Small vegetable garden in back yard.  It gives me pleasure to mess around the dirt and it keeps me sane. I'm still learning about this.

 In a far corner of backyard.

 Got some Tana Lawn Cotton. The little piece on the right it's a sample she sent along. I like that one also.

 This weed is so cute!

I lost a cousin today duo to Covid. This is a serious bug you all.

This is just to say hello!! Keep safe and keep health. May the Lord be with you all.

End of May

It's almost the end of May!! I am wishing for this whole year to pass really fast. I also wish for better days ahead.  Isaiah 41:10. 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  It has been nice despite being rainy lately. The temp is 65 degrees today however it will be warmer later on in the week. It's Memorial Day here in the US so I wish a happy Memorial Day to you all.  We honor those who died serving and those serving. Sad that we couldn't be at the cemetery where our family members who served are laid to rest. This is a shawl I made for someone in my son-in-law's family.  Thinking she can use it this Fall.                                                     

 His wife was building a nest nearby.

 Got a bit more of yarn to finish the blanket, had to get it from knit picks this time. It's a lovely and ever so soft alpaca.
