He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven

He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half-light,I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

You Speak the Language of Flowers

I can't stop taking pictures of our rose garden, and this is just the beginning, hundred of buds are getting ready to burst into a symphony of colors. 

As you scroll down you might want to listen to Connie Dover singing, You Speak the Language of Flowers.

This is a little late but I know our relative in Canada will appreciate seeing these pictures of our Easter celebration.

On Easter Monday (Ava, Laurence and Leo)

Welcome Raymond Philip Eli!

Raymond Philip Eli was born on Good Friday, April 6.  He is the cutest little baby boy!  Eli is seven pounds fifteen ounces.  Laurence and Eli have one thing in common, they were both born on their maternal grandmother's birthday!  Isn't that neat?  Mom and baby are doing well and are now back in their beautiful, brand new house. Oops, I forgot to take pictures of mom and dad with their sweet baby boy.

Maybe one day you will ride horses with this little brother of yours.

Emma is a big sister now!

She is giddie with joy.  That's Emma!

Holding this precious little bundle, this new life, I am in awe!  God is good!

 Congratulations Kelly and Xavier!
