Desert Rain

Woo Hoo! It is raining. It was promised but I have allowed growing things to die awaiting for the promised rain. I don't know if we will have a lot of rain but any rain in my desert is welcome. A good day for a good book. I may even have to turn on the heat and make another cup of coffee.

Success

There. Pays to read ALL the instructions for uploading a picture.

Sweet Sunday

"Today is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it" is a scripture that comes to mind frequently. At my age, simply being able to "get up and take nourishment" (as my dad used to say) is a victory. Some can't.

Church this morning. It is alway good to be in the Lord's house. Now I am doing what I do most. Creating! I love getting partially finished projects at garage sales and thrift stores and finishing them and then putting them in the church craft sale. All the money goes to missions and since I am definately NOT a teacher, being able to do that makes me a missionary. I am going to try to attach a picture of a sweet little neighbor modeling a sweater that I made. She is a tiny SP (or is it PS), size 2-4. I am still trying to find someone who can wear it who would like to buy it. Remember, money for missions.

Too cold in my desert

It has been very cold in my desert. Much too cold to even consider going out. Now I know there are many that would welcome our 40-50 degrees but I am waiting, not so patiently for our 100+ degrees. So...I sit here at my computer, trying to figure out how to set up this blog. First, simply figureing out how to work it and later, how to make it interesting. YOU ROCK CHARLOTTE! Way to go with your blog. I love it.

Monday Morning

Well now...here I am. It has been suggested in the past that I start a blog and I didn't take to the suggestion because I believed that my "Down on the Farm" e-mails to my friends coast to coast were enough but...I have been enjoying Charlotte's "At Home in Scottsdale" blogs so much that I became interested. I will give it a try. Charlotte, even tho' she has been blogging only a little over a week is a pro. All blogs are very interesting and pretty to look at. I will kave a very different blog because of our different interests. Let me know what you think. I enjoy all things of home. My garden (veggies only)cooking, knitting, crocheting, sewing and music. And of course, family. I direct the choir at my little church in Marana, AZ and love doing that.

It is going to take me a while to get into this. It is a bit daunting to know that this can be seen world wide. We will see what happens.
