My son and I were walking down a new-to-us trail near our home. I was very pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the local fall wildflowers. My first internal reactions were: 
I need to know what these flowers are! 
I should take pictures so I can identify them! 
I might write about this later – I need lots of photos!

I was pondering the beauty in aging during the month of May. May holds the highest quantity of my family’s birthdays: mother, father, sister, niece. It also marks the homegoing of my father and of course, May also hosts Mother’s Day. 
This Mother’s Day was the first one during which my mom was living in our household. . .

When we tap into the power of pioneering, we are better able to nuture body, soul, spirit, and our “can-do” attitude! Let’s encourage those around us to go for it as well. God is for us!

In these times of shifting economic, political, and moral sands, we must remember to put our focus on the most important thing.

In my last post, I told you briefly about the farmer ants, who were responsible for destroying my first okra harvest, by aphids. Boy, ants are smart. 

But they are not smarter than us. A quick blast of water took care of them, both ants and aphids. But the ants came right back to try to set up their farm operation again.
