A Journal of My Days 2024: Health Update

I wanted to do a brief update as mine and my hubby's recovery from 'bronchitis' is taking a little longer than expected.


This Rose of Sharon bloom is heavy with the rain we received this afternoon ... isn't it just beautiful!

Hubby and I are making progress and have come a long way, but we're not completely recovered yet, hence my continued silence online.

We're doing a lot of resting and just letting our bodies take the time they need to recover.

Your prayers, thoughts, cards, text messages and phone calls have been and are so appreciated.  

I harvested this bowl of apples while on a short walk and will set to work preserving them a little at a time.  We are so thankful for every bit of bounty that we get!

A little bit of news ...

We went from severe drought conditions to it raining for some part of every day.  We couldn't be happier and are praising God for the rain.


Just a few days ago, this cucumber plant was browning and drying up, literally ... now look at it!

Everything is greening back up and coming alive and those 3 squash plants that I planted in late spring knowing in my heart that it was too late and too dry and too hot for them to produce are outdoing themselves!


The flowers I planted in tractor tires are loving all this rain, they are just beautiful!

I went for a short walk outside after a heavy rain this afternoon and snapped the pictures in this post.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

My plan is to start posting again starting on Monday, I have missed all of you.

Until the next post ...

    The flowers are beautiful! They bring back such wonderful memories of my Grandma who always planted flowers in tractor tires on the farm.
