Rooting Jar

I purchased this jeweled jar at a gardening symposium this past March. It is meant for rooting cuttings from other plants. I really just bought it because the jeweled wire holding the jar was so pretty but I have successfully rooted the plants you see inside. Now I need to pot them. I thought it would make a nice gift to pass along to a friend since it would have come directly from my own plant. I do know that not everyone likes the responsibility of live plants in their house so I'll have to make sure not to "burden" the wrong person with it. :-)

The Gate

Matthew 7:14 - Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

This verse came to my mind after I had taken the above picture. It struck me that although the way is narrow that leads to life, it is also towards the light. The path to take will never be into darkness but will be into the light, even if just the small light of a firefly is all we have to go by.

My Evening View

As I am currently taking courses online to finish my bachelor's degree, at 7:35pm on any given evening the pictures below will show you my typical view. Looking in front of me out the window or behind me to the bed, neither view is bad! :-) In another two weeks I will be half way to my goal - 5 classes of 10 completed. Thank you, Lord!

Rocky's Roses

Below are pictures from a rose bush that I received last May from Ron & Bonnie Shuping in memory of Rocky. It actually made it through the summer and winter in its original container as I did not put it in the ground until this March. Thankfully it seems to be liking its location. It is a carpet rose with beautiful peach blossoms. Rocky would probably have preferred bright orange but for a rose, this is probably as close as it will get. :-)
