On the Runway Again

We travel on Friday to England and then I go on to Jordan to teach a week on the Father Heart of God to 9 students. We are finishing up taxes and chores around the house, trying to get a glimpse of the beautiful Azalea Trail in Tyler, washing the car to get the bugs off and organizing for the trip. We are really fortunate to have purchased our tickets a few months ago because the prices have gone through the roof! The men at church prayed for us this morning and really blessed us going out. Thanks guys!

Are we excited about seeing Betsy and Wes and the girls? Does the wind howl? Yes especially this time of year. :-)

Don't Pinch Me

Hurticons

Green Spread

Stylish Derby

Luck O the Irish

Hazelnut Delights

We made it back to the green isle of New Harmony where we were joined by Bryan and Michelle to celebrate St Patricks Day with corned beef and cabbage and all the trimmings. Thanks to my beautiful wife who put it all together along with the appropriate hats.

Back to the Hinterlands

After church on Sunday we struck out for a visit to the Hurts in Illinois. We made it to Southern Mo. by nightfall and spent the night in Hayti Missouri. The next morning we were surprised by snow just south of St. Louis! Snowplows were not in our mindset!

Notes on Spring

Along with the early Spring flowers here in Texas the Redbud trees and Plum and Pear trees are also flowering. This one in our yard is really coming out nicely. We have also planted some vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, onions, beets, and chard in our little garden plot up by the shed. Some birds are passing through but this turkey who is enjoying our bird seed is a neighbors pet.

Mrs Lee's Garden

We are experiencing Spring flowers here in Texas and it's been a long time since we have been in town to see them so we went out for a picnic at Mrs Lee's Garden just a few miles down the road. Back in the 50s Mrs Lee imported a boxcar of daffodils which have multiplied over the years into a beautiful blanket of yellow!
