Dead Flowers
These were the flowers that previously graced our porch. The green of the plant behind it tricks you into thinking it’s still alive, but believe me these have been dead for many months.
Ever since moving into our new apartment last summer, I had fancies of planting flowers on our porch. I love flowers, but much prefer them still on the plant than cut and placed in a vase. One of my favorites, impatiens, was the perfect choice for our shady porch. It’s so much more pleasant to water your own flowers than someone else’s, and these are the first that are truly my own. My parents have wonderful green thumbs, but it was to my brother and I to water the impatiens, and it was certainly one of my least favorite summer chores (second to picking tomatoes…they make me itchy!).
New flowers
These are the flowers that are now on our porch. I have two identical planters, one on the left, and one on the right.
The Bigger Picture
This is the bigger picture of what I see when I gaze off the porch. As many jokes as have been made about me hating trees, I really do enjoy this view of the woods (disguising the other apartment complex a couple hundred feet on the other side). And yes, the plant peed a little. Can’t take it anywhere without it having an accident…
So pretty!
What’s a Single Girl to Do?
Posted in Solo Historian on 02/14/2007 06:55 am by RonnicaI love Valentine’s Day. It’s all pink, and chock-full of cards, and flowery, and overflowing in chocolate, and packed with hearts, and just plain girly. Sure, I’m single. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be a full-fledged participant in this holiday!
For the last several years, I have made it a plan to send valentines to my single friends. I know that there are many who find this day entirely depressing and it heightens their longing for a man to show them love. I’m so glad that that’s not what being single is all about!
I’m not saying that every single girl should look forward to this day as much as I do, but it is a special opportunity to reflect on the greatest love gift we’ve ever received: new life through Jesus’ work on the cross.
May God show you anew His love for you! Happy Valentine’s Day!
