THURSDAY THOUGHTS: FLOWERS AND PLANTS ABOUT OUR HOME


A GOOD WORD...God loves you.  You have great value and purpose in this LIFE.  You are a somebody.  You matter!  There's no one else exactly like you.  An individual with talents and skills to develop and use.  ⚘    


HOPING TO MAKE IT TO KSU GARDENS THIS WEEK with the camera.  I LOVE IRISES and I'd like to see them in bloom at the KSU Gardens in Manhattan, Kansas before they disappear for the year.  Hoping to make this happen within the next 4 days.  Two weeks ago I walked about the Iris area.  

Time gets away from me.  Before they die out, I'd like to admire their beautiful blossoms. There's one in particular that I need to get a name for so I can purchase some more of this one. A new crush.

~OUR AT HOME IRISES HERE ON THE PRAIRIE~



























Thank you, God.  Our own Irises are profusely blooming.  I can almost call them all by name.  If I can only remember.  

Hubby dug dandelions out of the yard and flowerbeds.  We had so many that if the yard had not been sprayed we could have ate dandelion salad until the cows came HOME.  Maybe next year we will be really adventurous and try some dandelions.  Not sure I can get over the fact that they are called a WEED.  

Planting pepper plants and tomatoes.  Geraniums in the front porch urns.  Geraniums and coleus on the patio.


My Baby...Purple Pepper





We wintered these Coleus in large cracked crock bowl.  Today they were placed outside in the screened-in porch.  I might cut these back and see about rooting out some more to plant in the urns with the geraniums.  I think they'd like the company.

I'll be planting Gerber Daisies in the galvanized tub that's on the back porch.  My Oklahoma kiddos sent these to me for Mother's Day.  So pretty and nice to be remembered.  ❤️  Later my Son phoned me.  Feeling loved.



  

Kansas kiddos blessed me with a very good smelling candle and sweet words.  Feeling loved.  ❤️


Missouri Kiddo
telephoned me and we chatted. ❤️  Cards came in the mail.  I felt loved.


I had a super Mother's Day.  Hubby took me out for dinner AND fixed HOMEMADE MEALS.  We had a Grandchild spend the night.  It's been well over a year since we have had company due to social distancing.  In so many ways I did my best to social distance, wash my hands often and wear a mask when around others.  Many lost family and friends to Covid.  We are not immune to grief. 


Off to the grocery store for some organic fruit.  My future mornings will have oatmeal, milk and fruit sprinkled with cinnamon.  The goodness of oats will help fight high cholesterol and high blood sugars.  I will take an apple cider vinegar capsule and some garlic as part of my morning nutrition.  Lord, Please let it help.  

This week I will try harder to exercise with Jack Lalanne in the mornings before getting in the rut of working on paperwork right away.  It's mentally draining so I think I shouldn't be doing this so early.  Take morning meds, put away the dishes that dried in the kitchen rack, do a load of laundry, groom for the day, eat breakfast, exercise, laundry, then rest looking over day timer to see what's taking place for the day as well as the rest of the week.  What needs to get done for the time.  Read devotions.  Work on lunch.  Eat.  Run errands.  Afternoon break.  Read.  Blog. Household chore.  Supper prep.  Eat.  Cleanup kitchen.  Rest.  Spend time with my Hubby. Watch a movie.  Groom for bed.  Sleep.   

Physical Therapy twice a week diffenently gets me out of the house and I have to plan for it.  I may be at this for awhile.  I am able to stand 15 minutes before my back begins to ache and cramp.  At the present I am not standing very long each day.  Slowly chores get done.  Slow is better than no. 

I found a dress to wear for Grand's graduation next week.  I purchased it and tried it on at HOME.  Have to make sure my shoes still fit.  Will I wear hose?  It's been a really long time.  I haven't missed them at all.  

One Grand is graduating from college and we will attend a party for him in which I will probably wear bluejeans.  We will not be going to his actual graduation as only so many tickets were granted same with my Oklahoma Grandson graduating from middle school.  His graduation may be streamed on the computer.  If that's the case, I'll be watching from afar.  Zoom zoom zoom.


Time to zoom zoom zoom to town.

God bless you and yours,

👵d

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
