Maybe a pineapple pie would draw him out. ;-)
Just beautiful, MB! You have gorgeous flowers in your garden!
Guess we should whip one up for him!
Heeerrrree, Louibooooo!!
Actually, he said he will answer his pings later, wolfie be busy today. So, I guess we'll just stand here holding the door open until he gets here. Then watch out as he makes a bee-line for that chocolate bunny and your pineapple pie. LOL.
Uh huh....that's what the snails are doing as I type. Voracious and uncontrollable creatures they are!
Love your bonnet, Lady J.
Easter Meditation
O Lord,
it is so easy to identify with you in your passion,
where pain and grief and death
come together in that great sacrifice
you offered to bring us home to you.
How well I know the touch
of pain, and tears and fear.
But yet, how hard it is to grasp that miracle
come Easter morning, and like Mary Magdalene,
so often I wander the garden confused and in tears,
searching for you, Lord of my heart,
You, who through your death and resurrection
have been transformed into who you really are,
filled, not emptied,
full God and fully man.
It is an amazing thing.
one I cannot truly grasp.
Like the apostles and disciples,
we can only catch fleeting touches of you,
for your glory is more than this mortal flesh can bear for long,
a moment upon Mt. Tabor,
a breaking of the bread at Emmaus,
morning by the Sea of Gallilee.
O Lord, firstfruits of all those who bear mortal flesh,
O Lord, God who breathed upon the waters when time began,
O Lord, Bridegroom preparing the home for his bride,
Help me see you Lord,
in the glory of the sunrise,
in the voice of the hungry child,
in the touch of loving concern,
in the gathering of your saints,
in the Bread of Life,
in the touch of your hand on my life,
in that whisper of hope that will not go away..
O Lord, like Mary in the garden,
may I hear your voice and know,
in amazement and joy who it is who calls my name,
and like her, look up and see your smiling face.

I miss Louibo when he’s not here!
And I missed you! (((hugs)))
Thank you very very much. Happy Easter to you also.
What a perfect addition to dutchess’ Stations of the Cross Easter thread. Thank you.
Do you try to fight the snails? I know I give slugs beer, but what would you do for snails?
Amen.....
Well, I have spent a small fortune on commercial snail bait, *sigh*, but they just keep comin’. Also have to be careful with the dogs that they don’t get into it, so it is a constant problem. One year I planted marigolds and woke up the next morning to find perfect marigold stems and leaves without one single flower on top. They’d all been eaten off overnight by an army of snails. Grrrrrrrr.
Yes, snails are the biggest challenge in my garden. :-(
Good morning, sistah.
Yes, Jesus is Risen!! The miracle of all miracles! What a wonderful gift our Savior has given us; the Promise of Eternal life. :-)
Beautiful thread, Miss Dutchess ... perfect colors ... love the border.
Love the message.
Thank you ... )
I have no idea what your garden is like, how much you’ve tried, and what the labor entails, but have you tried beer?
Wishing all a Blessed Resurrection Day.
