FOR TODAY

Outside my window…

The roses are really growing….I planted knock out roses and since then, they are really growing and just loving the view of the rose blooms.

I had read to use coffee grounds due to their nitrogen content….According to the website, Heirloom Roses, this is due to the fact that:

“ Nitrogen is a component of all proteins and because water washes it away from the root zone, roses require a consistent supply of it. It is needed to build chlorophyll and allows the plant to use light to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugars to feed itself. Too much and you produce lush plants with few or no blooms. Too little, and the rose will have yellow leaves, no new growth, and small pale roses.” ¹

I am thinking…

What makes a really good late night snack??

Okay…there’s the tried and true favorite of chocolate, but it’s late..the house is quiet….what do you find, makes the perfect late night snack?

I am thankful…

For our Father in Heaven, His Son, Jesus Christ, the Bible, my husband and family, friends, and the secret stash of chocolate in case someone else, at home, gets a sweet tooth.

In the kitchen…

Dinner was tortellini and garlic bread…nothing to fancy tonight, but it made for a good family meal. I haven’t baked anything for a while so maybe tomorrow…I’ll make some Cinnamon Coffee Cake.

I am creating…

Right now……some outlines for a few scrapbook pages that I would like to get started on…I haven’t scrapbook…at all and its something that a few friends as well as my mother in law enjoy to work on during their free time.

I enjoy finding creative outlets and this would be something fun to organize a scrapbook get together with everyone, while preserving memories to be shared down the road.

I am wondering…

One thing I’ve been curious about, has been digital scrapbooking; Does one create the pages online and send them, somewhere to print it, or is it a really great idea to invest in a good…really good printer?

“Anything: The Prayer That Unlocked My God and My Soul ” by Jennie Allen

Several friends suggested I join them in this Summer’s book study of, “Anything: The Prayer That Unlocked My God and My Soul ” and it has turned out to be a really great book study. I was really impressed by the depth and thought that has gone into this study.
