The oleander tree/bush we have is blooming and blooming.
I like the way they look at night.
It's interesting to me........
the tree/bush is used in this area a lot for landscaping and to
line city streets.  
Some of them do well, bloom, grow and get very large.
Some wither, dry up, die.
Since trees don't have a soul, thoughts or a heart,
they don't reject water and sunlight.
They don't say NO to the things that will help them grow.
It just happens.
But as Christians we can say NO.
We have a choice, a will.
Our heart can lead us astray.
We can choose paths that make us wilt as Christians.

Proverbs 4:26

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

We DO have choices, don't we?!

Do oleander blossoms have a pleasant (sweet) scent?

As far as I know, they do not smell pretty. They just LOOK pretty! Parts of it are poisonous, too.

Wilt ... is the perfect description for taking the wrong path....I have to say I admire your ability to photograph flowers...they are absolutely beautiful.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
