New Year's Day 2019

I look back on previous New Year's resolutions and they seem so trivial.  This year my resolution is to survive, to trust the process, to have faith that God will lead us through,  to remember to treasure every moment with my family and friends, and to count every blessing.  No matter how small. 

I don't usually think of spray roses as showy, 

but this one left over from a Christmas bouquet was incredible.

I've never been so happy to see a seed catalog ever.  I'm going to be so ready to plant zinnias again.  Lord willing and the creek don't rise, as my mammy used to say.  Welcome, 2019. . .
