FOR TODAY … 29 May 2009

Outside My Window…junk on my patio table-stuff I am moving out of my shed to put into my garden spaces
I am thinking… that I didn't get enough done during my time off of work. Work never ceases!
I am thankful for… my job, even though it’s been crazy there.
From the kitchen… just ate an ice cream cone-well's blue bunny. Yum! I think I have chocolate crumbs on my face.
I am wearing… shorts, tank top and denim shirt. No shoes!
I am creating… Nothing…
I am going… to stay home today...
I am reading… The Bible
I am hoping…my SIL's surgery is successful today and that she will be herself again very soon.
I am hearing…my hubby breathing-he is taking a nap right now.
Around the house… dust bunnies.
One of my favorite things…listening to thunderstorms. I wish it would rain.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…mow the lawn and yard work.

I love Spring

This is my Jackmanii clematis as it appears right now. I just adore it! He seems happy on the old chain link fence with his feet in the shade and his head in the sun! I wish he would be in bloom all summer long. He is one of my absolute favs in the garden! :)

Exceedingly Prayerful

I just heard that Julie has pneumonia and the left side of her brain is swelling. The doctors are being very cautious and they don't want to put a shunt in just yet because of all of the other risk factors she is facing. It sounds very scary, but I know she is very strong. If anyone can survive this, I believe Julie can. I am praying that she has strength. I know she has the faith. May the Lord hold her within His healing arms. May He also be with her husband and family. This must be so very hard to bear. Healing thoughts, prayers and love are being sent their way. Love~Ree

Prayers for Julie

Last Tuesday, my sister in law Julie had a bad accident while riding her horse. For some reason, her horse reared up and flipped backward. She was holding tightly to the reins and the horse landed on top of her, smashing her helmet and basically breaking her. She has been in intensive care and she has a broken nose, broken ribs, broken pelvis and two crushed vertebrate. Thankfully she was able to wiggle her toes. They were going to perform surgery on her, but trauma to her carotid artery caused her to have a stroke. She can not move her right arm or hand. She is trying to form words but it unable to. I feel so bad for her. I pray she will heal and that she knows the good Lord has her in the palm of His hand. It is so sad that in a flash of an instant, our lives can be changed. I pray that He gives her and her family courage and strength and that she will lead a full recovery. Love~Ree
