Sunday morning...
Or the cacophony of your own thoughts?
Trying to quiet my mind...
And if you know me, my mind is about as easy to "quiet" as I am.

Sunday morning...
My weather app says it's supposed to be 106 degrees today. And will remain hot for the next couple of days. Luckily, I have air-conditioning (I couldn't live without it, Denise!) so I will just remain indoors doing my Sunday puttering.
I spent a little time in the garden this morning...wanted to get out there before it was too hot. I watered, pinched off a few tomato suckers, gave everything a good once over.
I've got quite a few tomatoes coming, and two cherry tomatoes that are just about ripe. We haven't had the best luck with heirloom varieties, but so far the two that we planted (Black Krim and Green Zebra) have quite a few flowers and some little tomatoes coming right along.
The beans are growing and sending out their lovely tendrils...one of them is even using a sunflower as a support. They are also beginning to flower...can't wait for those fresh green beans. Mm mm mmm...they're one of my summer favorites.
The zucchini are doing well...we've already harvested three good sized zucchini and have a few more just about ready. I sauteed one of them the other night for Chris and I (Ian was at a friend's house) with some butter, olive oil, garlic powder and marjoram...it was very tasty. Not bitter at all like the ones at the grocery store can be.
Unfortunately, the peppers don't seem to be doing so well. Not sure if they don't get enough sun? Or what the problem is. I'm kinda thinking that peppers just get sort of a slow start. I'm not giving up on them yet...especially since one of the jalapenos has two peppers on it. I think they'll be OK.
So I gave everything a good soak this morning...saw a few ladybugs eating some bad bugs, stood still as a giant bumble bee buzzed around the zucchini and me (he was HUGE, I always try to get a photo but they never seem to land for me), admired the honey bees busily working away on the lavender.
It was so nice and peaceful, I love early mornings in the garden. I went to grab my phone to snap a few more photos and when I rested my hand on the deck rail I put my finger right in a fresh bird dropping. It took me a few seconds to realize what it was, but once I did I quickly rinsed it off (thoroughly!) with the hose, causing a bit of a mud puddle which I then proceeded to slip in thanks to no traction on the ol' flip flops. (Note to self: buy garden clogs.)
Luckily, I didn't fall completely on my arse but mud did splatter all over my pj bottoms, sludged all in between my toes, covered my flip flop in sand and mud...oh dear. I must have been a sight.
If I were a cartoon you'd have heard the "Morning" song from Looney Tunes as I flitted around the garden watering my vegetables, birds happily chirping, bees busily buzzing. Then comes the harsh record scratch as I skid and slip in the mud, flailing my arms in an effort to stay upright.
Keeping it real and staying humble folks...stay cool today. xo
For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.
Psalm 149:4

Sunday morning.
Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
2
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
Psalm 62:1-2
Today will be a day of rest. I am tired. I need to be home. I need to move slow. I need to do things around here. I need to make a nice, healthy dinner. I need to walk around the garden and see what's growing. I need to sign up for a summer class, and pay some bills. I need to be quiet.
Yes. I need a day of rest. A day at home. From start to finish.

Sunday morning...
Good morning.
Challenging myself to call on Him, to cry for help before freaking
out, or losing hope...or spiraling into anxiety.
I'm not doing too bad lately...
This was a good reminder

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

nor the Son, but only the Father.

When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart. ~John Bunyan

May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. Psalm 141:2

Remember this.
When people choose to withdraw far from a fire,
the fire continues to give warmth,
the fire continues to give warmth,
but they grow cold.
When people choose to withdraw far from light,
the light continues to be bright in itself
the light continues to be bright in itself
but they are in darkness.
This is also the case when people withdraw from God.
~Augustine
