Sunday Reflections..

 Hard to believe that it is already Sunday evening of this 3 day weekend.  

Sam and I began our morning with Worship and Praise playing softly through the television.  

The kids came over this morning and one of the sweetest parts of day was my son-in-law trimming back our trees.  He recently finished his job out in California and is finally back home...He has always been such a huge help to us.  Our kids are so good about showing up and helping.  

This is the last load of limbs that needs to be hauled off.  I sure was sad about having to trim limbs that had the beautiful mimosa flowers on them....But..it had to be done. 

After the tree trimming was finished, we all gathered out on the back porch and enjoyed buckets of good conversations..and snacks!!  It's as if everyone was daring each other to be the first one in the pool this year.  Water is still a bit chilly though, so for this reason, there were no takers. 

A few cone flowers, Marmalades, and Lantana.

Later in the afternoon, I drove Sam over to see his dad at the Nursing Home.  While he was spending time there, I wandered over to the garden center where I may or may not have purchased a few more things than I had intended.  Apparently Memorial Day weekend is the time to shop for plants.  The place was not crowed at all.  

(Some Mexican Petunias and a few Zinnias, along with some grasses and rose moss.)

After I picked Sam up, we grabbed a quick bite to eat.  Nothing fancy...just something he can easily eat.  You would be surprised by what he can actually eat that does not hurt his stomach and liver.  Cheese Enchiladas!!.  I am shocked that he is able to eat this, but it's one of the few things that he can eat without having pain.

Now, I'm expecting to have a slower evening..  I'll be spending part of my evening catching up on blogs and working on my computer.  I am designing a "Save the date - invitation" all combined into one for our 55th Class reunion.  Fifty-five years feels almost impossible to say out Loud.  

This was the 50th reunion...way back in 2021.

For whatever reason....RED POPPIES...always makes me think of Memorial Day.  I honestly do not know why they touch my heart the way they do, but they always have. Maybe it's their deep red color that feels both beautiful and sacred at the same time.  They seem to whisper to me....Remembrance, sacrifice, honor and gratitude...

Tonight...the skies are hinting at the possibility of rain.  I just heard it thunder, so it might be earlier than I thought. 

Oh how wonderful this day has been and I thank the Lord for all of His goodness.  

Shug... or as William says:  Shuggy!
