"Joy cometh in the morning to those who have earned the night’s rest of a laborer. One of life’s sweetest returns is the privilege of rendering significant service of worth to others. To be able to do for fellow human beings something they could not do for themselves brings matchless satisfaction. Years of preparation are worth it." - Russell M. Nelson

What a wonderful world . . .

My amazingly talented sister-in-law recently came to my house to take pictures of my flowers.  As someone who is seriously lacking in the artistic department, I am so grateful that other people are able to capture this beautiful world we live in.  More pictures to come!

Summertime Yum!

This is the first year we've gotten strawberries out of our garden.  Delicious!

Happy Pictures

When I moved out East, I thought the spring season was going to be magical in bloom with color and aroma.  Much to my dismay, not one house had spring flowers or flower-blooming trees in the area that I lived.  Knowing how disappointed I was, Husband bought me tulip bulbs for my anniversary gift last year and I worked on digging and planting for the first time in my life.  I could hardly wait for the weather to warm.  Once we saw one green leaf peeking out, Kids and I checked every single day on the plants' progress until they all decided to open their petals.

Needless to say, this is my happy.
