WREATHMAKER

Last weekend we had a family reunion. What a great time! My Mom is the only one of 10 siblings who is still with us. There were about 100 who spent time together. We had lots of time for visiting, good food, a Sunday morning service, swimming, etc. One of our family, Jodi King , is a music artist who also has a passion for various missions, local and abroad. A very sweet and talented young lady, she has come up with a special blend of tea which is used as a fund raising tool for Lifewater Canada . (The tea is delicious!). Jodi led our worship service on Sunday and performed some of her own music. Our committee decided that our family should try to raise funds for a well in Liberia, Africa, and we did. The response was very good, so there will be several hundred Liberians enjoying fresh water soon, preventing disease, and maybe enjoying their own cup of tea!

Mary is hosting her very popular Mosaic Monday today. My mosaic today is lilies, which are blooming profusely here now. See the other mosaics at: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2009/08/mosaic-monday-flower-favorites.html

Tootsie is hosting her weekly flower flaunting...so check out the beautiful blooms for this week at: http://tootsietime.blogspot.com/2009/07/fertiizer-friday-flaunt-your-flowers.html This week the cobea (cup and saucer) has started blooming, as well as dahlias. My garden tends to look a little unplanned, and sometimes the heights are not graduated. This is a wall planter which we purchased a few years ago at the Bombay store. This is a single"million bells" which is doing well.

Once again we look forward to all the lovely mosaics at Little Red House. Thanks, Mary, for hosting this : at http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2009/07/mosaic-monday-ah-summer.html My mosaic today is all yellow. Many of the photos were taken at Clemens Munsinger gardens in St Cloud, Mn.

When flowers are blooming, I can't resist bringing in a bouquet for the dining room table, and let's face it, anywhere else I can inject a little colour. This week the lilies are blooming....
