Maundy Thursday

Much Virtue

- robin

I woke last night when storms hit Dallas. I watched Night Line, a long commercial, World News Tonight and some time near 4:30 am, I fell asleep.

Listening to storms is not wonderful. It just wears a body out.

The good news is, The herbs that I planted last week are safe and sound.

Photo: After the storm The empty containers have poppy seedlings in them.

Last night before going to bed, I tucked all of the newly planted herbs under shelves in the garden. The weatherman kept saying that we would be getting huge hail during the storms. I did not want the new plants hurt.

All of the plants made it through the storms just fine. Just imagine all the goodies I will cook this summer using the beautiful herbs. Fresh herbs are one of my favorite things in the entire world.

Benjamin Franklin said, “Much virtue in herbs. Little in men.”

Today Is Maundy Thursday. Tonight Larry and I will be at church for a special service.

Love one another. May your heart be filled with the joy of love and forgiveness.

Love you.

Memories, Blessings and Faith

One year ago, Lars, Josh and Matilda were in France.

We missed them very much and I was homesick to be with them.

This year has gone by very fast.

I wish someone would slow things down.

*****

Yesterday we had the best appointment with Dr S,

of course we discussed Libby the entire time,

 remembering that my pug girl is getting older

and going forward will be with her age of 16 in mind.

I took this photo of Libs years ago

and

it is my favorite.

She has my vintage necklace on and it makes me smile.

Today is Maundy Thursday.

Today represents the last supper Jesus had with his disciples.

This holy week is my favorite of the entire year.

There is something so positive in the rebirth of Jesus

and

of Spring.

Christmas Roses~ Karen and John Cox sent us the most beautiful flowers for Christmas. I saved the roses for Holy week, remembering that things do not die. They live in our hearts forever.

 

I wish you positive thoughts,

joy,

love

and

many blessings.

Happy Easter.

Love you.

Me.
