                        Hello, lovely friends! I hope you are all doing well and had an amazing weekend. I went to the farmer's market. I picked up some nectarines, red plums, apples, pears, and lots of berries and salad stuff. We also went for a walk at the park with the trail through the butterfly gardens. Both time we were there, the real feel temperature was 105/106.  I'm excited to go there in the fall when we can enjoy it more!

Some pictures from recent walks









 
*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses *** 

I've been reading in the book of Jeremiah for the last several days. A lot of it is pretty tough to read - talking about judgment. But there are also a few beautiful parts too!

This is my first time participating in Saturday 9, hosted by Samantha @ Samantha Saturday 9  Saturday 9: What Hurts the Most  1)  Any aches and pains to report?   Achy all over - but I'll take it over other pain!  2) What's the last thing you misplaced? Did you find it? A receipt my mom needs to return something she received for Mother's Day.  Have not found it yet!  3) Lead singer Gary LeVox sings that he's not afraid to cry. When is the last time you shed a tear? Earlier this week when I found out that an  acquaintance  of mine had passed of cancer.  It was very unexpected and she was just a wonderful woman!  4) Tell us about something you thought you wanted, but later weren't sure? Seat covers for my car - I've wanted them for the past couple of months, but once I put them on, I hated them and took them right off!  5) What else is Ohio known for? Losing to the Michigan Wolverines?  :)  6) ...

I am linking up with  Mailbox Monday It's Monday!  What Are You Reading?  The Sunday Post @ caffeinatedbookreviewer  WHAT DID I READ THIS WEEK:   It was a pretty slow reading week actually.  I only finished two books. I made it 1/2-way through a third book, but we'll talk about that one next week.  The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery    4***** and Porch Lights, by Dorothea Benton Frank   4.5 ****-1/2 I was so pleasantly surprised by "Porch Lights".  The characters are FABULOUS. I wanted to be just like the mom character only 5% into the book!  This story is about relationships. How family is important not just in hard times, but ALL the time.  The setting is stunning too.  The South Carolina Lowcountry.    I want a whole series of books revolving around these characters!   FAVORITE QUOTE FROM A BOOK I READ:  Two this week....

I am linking up with Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday On My Breakfast Plate: It was actually a bowl of chicken noodle soup!  The weather in my neck of the woods .....  Today is in the mid 50s - tomorrow the mid 80s!  I am hopeful there will be some sunshine so I can enjoy my new bench on my balcony and get some Vitamin D. Right now I am.... THE COVID CHRONICLES Right now I am recovering from COVID-19.  Back on Easter Sunday my girls and I went to my dad's to cook dinner.  Once we were already there, my dad mentioned he wasn't feeling quite right.  Soon after he and my sister found out they were positive.  A couple of days after that my daughters both tested positive.  Then me.  Then my other sister.   Dad was hospitalized for a few days at the beginning.  His oxygen dipped down into the 80s.  I am so thankful to God that he was released shortly after.  NO pneumonia!  No blood clo...
