Making Blueberry Peach Crisp (Bowl is the old crockery spongeware, made in Rosewood, Ohio, and the baking dish is newer spongeware made in Italy - both bought at a consignment shop). The tea towel was a large blue and white plaid cotton tablecloth bought for 50 cents at a yard sale, and cut and sewn into about six large tea towels.

Photography

The whole earth is full of God's glory! Most of these photos show the glory of His creation - the flowers, birds, butterflies and other insects, ocean, sunrises, sunsets, and clouds. Other photos display the creativity the Lord has freely given to His creatures. I hope you enjoy viewing these randomly posted photos at least half as much as I did photographing them all.

I Timothy 6:7 says that we should not be highminded, not trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy, and you will surely see many of God's gifts of enjoyment shown here!
