Commentator Paul Harvey

aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest of the Story", and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. Billy Graham current age 92 Truth---- from a man the media has never been able to throw dirt on.-----amazing!
He prayed :
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and call it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and call it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and call it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and call it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time- honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from ever sin and set us free.
Amen!

shaped gourd: I am going to try and grow this

There are three that came up in the pot

There may not be room in my front garden so can I grow them on a tree?

Has anyone in blog land grown these?

This is what I want to make.

I Know What Moved You

It's time to cut the Hay field for the first time this year.

The honey suckle has been so sweet

This is when it rains, the water comes off the field. I have planted a ton of holly hock seed on the other side.

Last year it must have washed seed on this side of the ditch because these came up down the side of the bank. They lived all winter and stood the spring flood. I am sure there are flowers all alone the ditch to the river.

Last year I had planted Zinnias, Butterfly weed, Holly hock no sign of any but these three Holly hocks.

This year Darla from more family and flowers and Becca from a southern garden by Becca have sent be me seeds and there is not one up here.

Back to Check

on my baby blue 's, I looked like this after they dilated my eyes it put my ears in a droop. When we came out of the office I wanted to shout NO the sun is shining. But the Bennie put my red collier on and lead me to the car. I guess by now you know I felt more like his pet.

I have been told I have Vitreous Detachment & floaters . It looked better this visit and will just have to keep a close check on it.

A True Gardener

I have been re reading this very old book about The Diary of a Plain Dirt Gardener it was Copyright, 1933 by Sears Publishing Company. Enlarge and read some of his entry.

Harry R. O'Brien wrote for Better Homes & Gardens about his diary on gardening starting in 1922. I used to collect old magazine, Better Homes & Gardens was how I fell in love with Him and Gladys Taber's books.

This is Summer Time

it will not be long as my blog tells me June is coming and the tomato's will be ready.

I will toast my bread to a golden brown, slither with salad dressing thick on both pieces of toast, lay a green leaf of lettuce on both then slice my vine ripe from the garden tomato in thick slices put the bacon in place put the top toast on and when I bite in to my BLT the juice from the tomato and salad dressing mingle as it runs down my chin.

That will be soooo good

This is my excuse

and I am sticking to it.

Rainbow

I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.

And God said, This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for All GENERATIONS TO COME. I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

Genesis 9: 11-13
