I want to know if all those pretty flowers are in your garden? Love that flowering crab...

Yes, Jeff, there are three trees along my driveway. They are just beginning to bloom so I will probably be posting some more. They are an ornamental tree. In the fall, the birds, raccoons and deer like to eat the tiny apples that are on them.

I put my hand on my Father's forehead every night and speak this preistly blessing over him....the rest of it isd...and give you His peace both now and forever more. It has facilitated PEACE in his damaged mind... A worthy blessing. There's nothing like His peace.

Love the beautiful blossoms.

This is my favorite benediction. It makes me feel happy and weepy, all at the same time.

Gorgeous apple blossom photo, too! Reminds me of my childhood -- apple trees for climbing in my backyard.
