Just a quick post of what's been going on...

We are thankful we were able to stock up on our plant food, suet, and safflower seeds for the birds God blesses us with. The House Sparrow babies are getting large and I am hoping to catch them fly the coop to-day, if it pleases the LORD. We have paint ready for the deck and planter boxes, and the rearranging of the shade sale will be forthcoming. Burgers and dogs on the grill later to-day, hoping for a strong showing from my final starting pitcher facing the Tigers. Moni got some cute little red potatoes so maybe our first salad of the summer later as well. I am roughly halfway through That Hideous Strength and the plot is indeed beginning to thicken. Linda Ronstadt's biography is next. 

The weed killer from several years ago I've decided is no good, so we bought a fresh batch. For the myriad of poison ivy et al that have all but choked out our beautiful dappled willows.

I took a Fisherman's Friends tune and turned it into a birthday song for Pops about his Lakehouse and the blessing it has been to four generations now. 

I found a good pizza dough variation that gives a bit more air to the crust, and I will try it next time in my 'Detroit style' za. 

Forgive us, LORD, when we laugh like Abram and Sarai, at what You plan to do. Give us the grace to trust in You, Your Word, and Your Spirit as He guides us in all ways. Thank You for Your love, mercy, and grace. We surrender all to You; we give You dominion over all our relationships and comings and goings. In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; amen.
