This morning Breezy and I picked strawberries from our strawberry patch.
The pickings almost filled to large colanders.
There were berries that didn’t look quite like the rest, but they still taste delicious!
God created such beautiful foods for us to enjoy!

. . . is such a pleasurable way to encourage others. I don’t do it as often as I would like to, but when I get around to doing it I find it thoroughly enjoyable!
I used a dip pen and ink, and wore an apron to protect my skirt from being stained.
Our lovely shade tree made for a perfectly pleasant time!

Saturday was the day that we celebrated Breezy’s homeschool graduation with a graduation open house where family and friends gathered to congratulate her.
There was, of course, plenty of preparation involved. But it was all a joy to know that it was for that dear sister of mine.

When the majority of the food was prepared, I had the wonderful privilege of making the decorations. The decorations were garlands of triangles and rectangles that Maggie and I hung on the branches and around the trunk of our large oak tree.

We borrowed straw from our granny to place around the tree as extra sitting places.

I believe that Saturday was the most festive our yard has ever looked. Simply charming!

There were many who visited and congratulated Breezy, both those who were near and those who were far. It was so good to fellowship with one another!

The Lord has greatly blessed me with such a wonderful father, mother, and sister!
Breezy, I am so thankful to have such a wonderful sister — you mean more to me than you can know! Your friendship has blessed me greatly and I look forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for your future, dear one! I love you!
“Whatever you do, do your work heartily,
as for the Lord rather than for men,
knowing that from the Lord you will receive
the reward of the inheritance.
It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.”
