Text of the page (random words):
ain beating more persistently on my metal roof within moments of the alert things were rocking and rolling outside my window the worst of the storm passed within thirty minutes a couple of thousand homes and businesses in the city lost power throughout my neighborhood tree limbs and fences were damaged my beautiful maple tree took a beating losing a couple of big branches which made me sad but it could have been much worse yesterday the rain came and went and today has been gray and soggy too too wet to walk too wet to work in the yard a good day to stay in and build a puzzle the problem was i don t have any left in my closet i opened my laptop and started to scroll through some articles i closed it after a few minutes on a gray and gloomy day i didn t want to read about the rampant tick problem in our area i didn t want to read about politics or the new data centers proposed for our area either tomorrow i will go to the park where a local group is gathering and pick up some information so i will be a little better informed but i didn t want to think about it today the darker the sky got the more i wanted to puzzle so off to walmart i went i can t remember the last time i bought a brand new puzzle but today i kind of needed to give myself a little treat i saw this one and knew it was what i d come for i love 1950s scenes for a few hours i can escape into a time when life seemed simpler and so much kinder when the world made sense there were three puzzles in this back to the past series by rose art i chose grandpa s birthday surprise it is 1000 pieces so i m hoping it will take me a good long time to finish it like everything else puzzles have gotten expensive or maybe i m just used to getting them for free or drastically reduced garage sale prices lol but for what this one cost i want to spend some quality time with it i also bought an iced caramel macchiato candle to burn while i work on it so let it rain some days you just need to be quiet and cozy mjeanpike christianity puzzles spring thoughts about life writing life 23 comments may 21 2026 2 minutes coffee and doughnuts i finished this sweet little snack of a puzzle in just a couple of sittings with just 300 pieces delightful doughnuts by buffalo was just that delightful i loved all of the colorful doughnuts and the fact that the three bright pink ones with the white icing were so similar in color kept it from being too easy it was a great rainy day puzzle the kind i could build with soothing music in the background while letting my mind wander to oh so sweet places and it went perfectly with my cup of coffee mjeanpike christianity food garage sale finds photography positivity puzzles thoughts about life writing life 21 comments may 20 2026 1 minute unwelcome and uninvited guests my prairie flowers have finally opened these are some of my favorite garden guests i love their sunny yellow faces and how undemanding they are they don t complain about the accommodations they are happy to grow in poor soil that a lot of other perennials would reject i was also happy to see that my zinnia seeds are off to a good start i ve been careful to water them every morning that it doesn t rain i was thrilled to see this happy little parade this morning my wildflower seed bombs don t seem to be doing much of anything they just sit in their little clay huts on top of the soil in my planter box if they don t make progress soon i will add a few zinnia seeds to the box just in case unfortunately i had a most unwelcome guest in the yard this weekend i have heard that the ticks are really bad this year i hadn t worried about it too much since miss emma never misses a dose of her bravecto and we don t hike or walk in tall grass i was sitting in my yard on saturday evening minding my own business when i felt a sharp sting behind my knee upon inspection i saw that it was a tick i immediately removed it and my heart sank right down to the ground when i saw the telltale white dot on its back a lone star tick by yesterday afternoon the bite was fire engine red and hot to the touch and it itched like poison ivy i went to see my doctor and sure enough the site was infected she prescribed an antibiotic and a steroid cream to calm the itching and inflammation she reassured me that most tick borne diseases occur when a tick has been embedded in the skin for at least 24 hours this one was not embedded for more than thirty seconds since i felt the sting right away the antibiotic should ward off some of the diseases the lone star carries in the event my tick was infected but it won t protect from alpha gal alpha gal syndrome can take weeks or even months to manifest so it will be a matter of waiting and praying i spoke with some of my coworkers when i went to pick up my prescriptions it turns out three others or their children have already been bitten by lone star ticks this spring so consider this a friendly reminder protect yourself and your pets invest in a good flea and tick treatment for your cats and dogs we have to be vigilant even in our own yards this year check your clothing and any exposed areas of skin after being outside let s not let these unwelcome guests spoil our summer mjeanpike changing seasons christianity gardening and wildlife miss emma photography spring thoughts about life writing life 26 comments may 19 2026 2 minutes spoiled once again our wonderful church did an excellent job of spoiling its mothers for mother s day i know it s a week late but the sisters in christ planned a special event and today was the closest to mother s day we could reserve the venue so at 12 noon despite the rainy skies we all gathered at broadway blooms in beautiful downtown jackson to celebrate our special day after some inspirational poems a lovely devotional and the cutest prayer song by our youngest sisters in christ we enjoyed boxed lunches made and delivered by the downtown treatery complete with the doughnuts for which they are famous i didn t think to get a pic of my turkey and swiss on a croissant or of my glazed cake doughnut but trust me when i say that they were delicious after lunch we had a special treat we each got to build a flower bouquet to take home so many lovely choices my sister marge and i showing off our bouquets i went with the salmon and burgundy carnations and the peruvian lilies it was so nice to get together with the ladies today and enjoy food fellowship and flowers i truly am so blessed mjeanpike christianity food friendship holidays photography positivity thoughts about life writing life 23 comments may 16 2026 may 16 2026 1 minute a day of sun and fun and flowers my friend sharon has been wanting to put in a flower bed beside her front walkway she did the hard work of preparing the soil and adding fertilizer i was enlisted to help her select the perfect plants since today was cool and sunny it seemed like the perfect day to get after it what s more fun than starting with a blank canvas we went to three places until we found just the right plants we decided on a beautiful daylily for each end four coneflowers in orange gold red and berry two deep salmon coral bells and three hostas in variegated green and white and variegated green and yellow each of the plants was sharon approved quite the haul back at sharon s house we set them all out for planting but first lunch chicken tenders and pasta salad yummm let the planting begin the master gardener haha sharon gave her new babies a good drink i can t wait until the little flower bed is in full bloom i couldn t visit three flower shops and come away empty handed so i picked up this little geranium for my front porch what a wonderful day of sun and fun and flowers mjeanpike christianity friendship gardening and wildlife photography positivity spring thoughts about life writing life 25 comments may 15 2026 1 minute two beautiful things two beautiful things came into my life recently and both filled me with joy one the perfect hanging basket there s nothing like a basket of flowers hanging by the front door to say welcome home last year s basket was filled with gorgeous pink petunias with blue lobelia mixed in i loved it and decided i would try and find the same thing this year then i spotted this beauty if i owned my house instead of renting i would paint it white and add a pretty accent color for the door and trim probably red painting it isn t an option but a pretty flower bed and a welcoming basket by the door go a long way toward adding some lovely two a really really good book my sister came across this older title at a library book sale after finishing it she handed it off to me saying i had to read it i ve read six books in the last six weeks some were good some were just okay i was ready for a book that would rock my reading world and this one certainly did here s the synopsis from amazon if there s been a theme in justine meade s life it s loss her mother her home even her son the one bright spot in her loss filled life the partner she could always count on was mack her grey and black sheltie that is until she is summoned back to her childhood home after more than twenty years away ed and alice parmalee are mourning a loss of their own seven years after their daughter was taken from them they re living separate lives together dancing around each other and their unspeakable heartbreak unable to bridge the chasm left between them when they find a little black and gray dog by the side of the road they take him in fiercely loyal acutely perceptive and guided by a herd dog s instinct mack has a way of bringing out the best in his humans whether it s as justine s partner or just the ebb and flow of a family s rhythms it s as though the little shetland sheepdog was born to bring people together everyone needs mack but to whom does the little dog who danced belong if i could give the dog who danced ten stars on goodreads i would mjeanpike book reviews books photography positivity thoughts about life 23 comments may 13 2026 2 minutes remington the horticulturist earlier this week i visited the little free puzzle library in town and swapped the clunkers puzzle for this 750 piece gem this is the third puzzle in the cats of charles wysocki series i have done putting these together is more like reading a short story than building a puzzle there s so much going on i love that remington is unconcernedly enjoying his nap amid the haphazard stacks of books the spilled seed packets and the mischievous mice i would love to have a little potting shed like this but i must say i would keep mine much more organized mjeanpike christianity puzzles short stories thoughts about life writing life 13 comments may 12 2026 1 minute planting seeds it s a beautiful sunny 65f morning the perfect day for planting seeds our frost date is typically mother s day so the monday after usually finds me out in the flower beds last week i was dismayed to see a weather report out of dayton saying we could look forward to one last heavy frost on tuesday two days after mother s day well i certainly haven t looked forward to it i ve had my seeds collected and my beds weeded and ready for weeks now with the weather playing nice today i took another peek at the forecast i can t speak for dayton but there is absolutely nothing to indicate a frost here so i put on my gardening clothes gathered my seeds and my tools and headed out my parade of color out back is fading with the columbine and the miniature iris going the other way and the day lilies and prairie flowers not yet open i have always had wonderful luck with zinnias in that bed they are one of a very few things the deer don t eat and they provide such gorgeous color from late june to early fall i plant the seeds liberally throughout the flower bed and am always rewarded i have a bare spot about three feet wide that has been problematic from the get go there is a slab of concrete about two inches beneath the soil no matter how much i build it up nothing will grow there not even hens and chicks so this year i am trying something new container gardens i planted the seed bombs i made at a library class in one of my old planter boxes and a mixed wildflower container garden in another i will be excited to see what happens as a side note i have baby blue birds peeping away in the nest box directly above where i put the containers mama blue bird was not happy that i was there out front i have just a few pinks for color right now but my lilies and cone flowers are looking healthy and almost all of the hostas my neighbor gave me have come up a nice mix of solid and variegated greens i packed the front with dwarf zinnia seeds and some beautiful red dahlia bulbs that i have had for years i m not going to do much beyond that in case the deer get it in their heads that this is an all you can eat salad bar again this year i don t like the looks of the cinder block when my pipes froze last winter the little access door had to be pried open to get to them i definitely don t want the neighbor s cats making their way in there so i keep the block in place to keep the door secure i will have to think of something cute to put on or around it so it won t look like such a sore thumb i loved working in my flower beds today i loved planting the seeds that hopefully will soon produce beautiful flowers god thank you for this beautiful morning remind me to plant the seeds of gratitude in the garden of my heart mjeanpike christianity gardening and
