 I had a feeling that you'd like a bowl of flower soup.  Am I right?  
The two rock stars below made it for you.

 I thought that when our floors were finished I would be super diligent about sweeping and mopping.  Uh. No.  Rugs help.

 Samantha and Plum Cake went camping!  Lucky ducks!

 I went up to Ft. Collins to the women's conference that our April organized.  I had a lot of fun!  Cadence helped with music, too!

 We went up to the mountains earlier this week for a yearly retreat with Bill's coworkers.  I am always blessed when I am around this special group.  

 We're celebrating today because 38 years ago today we got married!  Bliss!

 We saw James this morning while his mommy went to her monthly baby check.

 The peonies are blooming!  I'm going up to Washington for a wedding and I'll be gone five days.  I hope the peonies hold until I get back.

 Inside we have a few flowering plants and they ARE holding on for a good long time. 

Thank you so very much for your kind words about my Rule.  I'm going to answer a few questions real quick.
Elizabeth:  Yes, I read a bunch of books about creating a Rule of Life and quite a few about spiritual disciplines.  Yes, I LOVED The Cloister Walk.  I read it a few years ago and it stuck with me.  
Betty:  The Examen is a way to reflect on God's movement in your day.  Google it and you'll find different guidelines.
Heather:  I have not read Tim Keller's book on prayer but I do love his work.
Frances:  Yes, Phyllis Tickle.  So good.

I'm a little tired because the bed up in the mountains had a big dip in the middle and I kept sliding into it and waking up.  I am turning into a grumpy sleeper.  I think about it too much.

The wedding is on Guemus Island so tomorrow night I shall sleep by the sea.  I'll take lots of photos and share them with you when I return.

Take care, sweet visitor.  Thank you for clicking by and checking on me.
God be with you.
