My daughter's birthday today! Here is the bouquet God provided for her in our overgrown yard:
fragrant apple blossoms, sweet lilac blooms, and cheerful kerria japonica
The joyful growth of Spring has a power similar to that of love: it covers a multitude of sins :^)
Back at The Living Room, the earthly joy of a well-brewed Yunnan tea lifts my soul in thanksgiving. This tea from Barnes & Watson is rich and slightly smoky.
While I'm sipping, I'm reading Isaiah 62 and Psalm 62 in honor of the nation of Israel's 62nd year. God's faithful promises and everlasting mercy are greater causes for thanksgiving.
Tea break is over. Entering more eclectic inventory. Here's a game for you. Can you match each picture to its clue phrase in this list?
~ vintage crystal boudoir lamp (ok, that was too easy)
~ Ecclesiastes 1.1 (at least 3 matches here)
~ selling because there's a new toddler in the house
~ Fitz & Floyd
~ ahoy
~ from an oyster, such beauty
~ "Put me on a pedestal; in fact I come with a pedestal."
~ Isaac Merritt's invention in 1853, upgraded and replicated here in 1998
~ a good place to begin for a beginner
~ also known as "fat", "top", this one is stuffed
