On a recent drive in the country, many wildflowers were blooming. I validated my "nature girl" nickname, given to me by my teenage son, by stopping and taking several photos. The wild roses are a favorite.
Every April, Honor Heights Park in Muskogee, Oklahoma comes alive with color. The park consists of 40 acres with 30,000 blooming trees and shrubs and includes 635 varieties of azaleas. Last weekend, the blooming trees were at their peak and the azaleas were just starting to bloom. It was a nice, less crowded, but still pretty time to visit. This weekend the azaleas will likely be in full bloom, and there will be crowds and crowds of people enjoying the mass plantings of varying colors. We all seem to rush through life, and it's good to stop and enjoy nature. Here are my better pictures.
I like to encourage others and share my faith. Also, I enjoy finding ways to organize and beautify my home (humble abode), and simplify my life. I have been a 24/7 busy single mom since my son was 11 months old and he is now 14 years old. It's not the way I expected life to turn out, but I know for sure God is good!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish. -- John Jakes
