It's been the oddest weather in Michigan this summer! Way back at the end of May, the weather folk predicted it would be exactly like this ~ extremely cool ~ and we are headed for our coldest July on record! The temperature is not supposed to make it out of the 60's today ... again.Yesterday Mr. Jones and I were invited over to our friends, Tom and Judy. They suggested we walk over to Rose's on Reed's Lake and have a light dinner together and then enjoy some homemade blueberry pie (Judy is a great chef!) at their house afterwards.
It was kind of a dreary-looking afternoon ... with a light sprinkle here and there ... but we went ahead with our plans. I'm so glad we did.
Judy is a master gardener and ... amazing stuff grows at her house!
Judy told me the names of all these beautiful plants and flowers, but I retained not a single one of them in my brain ... but aren't the colors so stunning?!
Judy planted some grape tomatoes and the stalk is SO thick and healthy ... it reminded me of Jack-and-the-beanstalk! The tomato plants here around the Jones Junction are kind of ... pitiful right now ... we are hoping they'll pick up and gain a little life ... soon!
It's about a mile walk from Tom and Judy's over to Rose's ... I snapped a lot of pictures, but wasn't pleased with very many. We were walking in a misty kind of rain, just enjoying the beauty all around us.
All of these colorful blossoms were right outside Rose's ... but I thought the flowers in Judy's yard were every bit as beautiful. We enjoyed good conversation, good food, walked back to the house, played an entire round of Mexican train dominoes and ate the best blueberry pie ever ... I'm giving thanks for all it still today!"The LORD covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the green grass grow ... " PSALM 147.8
