Just A Little Note About My Life

Trodden Down

Last year I planted at least a hundred plants at the park near my home.  I put my whole heart into it. I had permission from the city to plant there.  I saw many people come and go while I was planting.  Many were rude and didn't seem to like me for some reason, but I met many nice people too.  Someone told me that no one wanted to plant there because there was no way to get water to it.  

I was determined and wanted to be a blessing to my community.  Day after day  I nursed it to keep it alive. I worked very hard carrying water from the stream bed while in the hot sun. It was hard but, It meant allot to me because, I wanted to bless our community... I dreamed of seeing it bloom, the following year.  Well the blooming has started.  Last week the first to bloom were the Irises. A very dark almost black one and a yellow one.  The same ones blooming in my gardens right now.  I visited the park again tonight to view the field and see if any of the other flowers were bloomed.  I was very disheartened because,  for no apparent reason someone drove a tractor through the field and had trodden down the yellow iris.  

 I put love into planting the field because I wanted to make a difference in the only way I knew I could at the time. I was disappointed because many other flowers soon to bloom were trodden down as well.

 There will still be many blooms I hope and I will finally see the fruit of my labor.

In life we work a field, and in that field we plant something and what ever it is we plant we grow.  whether good or bad.  Some people may try to trample down the good things we try do for others, but they will last forever in heaven when they are done for the right reasons.

Just A Little Note About My Life

Just A Little Note About My Life

I have become very busy lately and if anyone in the whole wide world really wants to know why I haven't been posting, it's because I have been helping with a moving sale. My neighbors just a couple houses up are moving and we are helping her clean, lift and price. Well, somehow I hurt my back and I've been having back spasms going on my third day. I wasn't able to do my scheduled volunteer work at the hospital, not only did I forget all about working on every forth Tuesday of the month, I didn't find a replacement to fill my spot. I was very disappointed in myself. I strive to be a dependable person. When I'm not used to my schedule I sometimes forget things.

My daughters and I are also helping close family friends with a wedding happening in August. So we have been busy with centerpiece flower arrangements, flower bouquets, decorating the arch and planning the reception hall and making decorations.

I still haven't finished putting mulch on the side of my home. So it is still sitting in my driveway waiting for my back to get better. I enjoy taking care of my flower gardens even if I do a little at a time.  Everything looks very beautiful this time of year.

Then just the everyday tasks of the home and cooking for my family.

I wrote all of this just to let you all  know-  I haven't forgotten you and I'm not quitting. You are in my prayers always.

We found a very old copy of Robert Louis Stevenson book for children called, Childs Book Of Verse - The first addition. It's illustrated. The book is sold online for $180.00. We are selling it for 100.00. The moving sale begins this week. Pray that it goes well.
