Just July

Welcome to Carberry!

All of these photos were taken around the town Carberry.

Starting with the Daylily Garden.

And the prettiest flower of all!

Some random photos taken around the town.

Celebrating Canada 150

Love this bike!

This is a nice addition to the park at the end of Main street,

along the tracks...similar to the old railway station.

Great idea for a bench!

This one is in Mom's neighbour's yard.

I hope you enjoyed our July tour!

Stepping Stones To Wellness

Time sure does fly! At the end of May I made a post, Journey To Wellness. I had talked about the need for changes in various areas of my life, and said I'd post an update....so here it is!

June Blooms and Random Views

Time for my monthly photo tour! All of these pictures were taken around our yard....a mix of wild flowers and perennials, and some miscellaneous shots. Hope you enjoy this little glimpse of June beauty!

Starting with these beautiful purple and white irises. I took a picture of them early in the month, thinking I almost missed them, but they have continued to bloom all month long!

And then onto some of the wild flowers that grow all over our acreage.

Can't leave out a good sunset!

This is a painted daisy...one of our perennials that grows among the false spirea hedge.

Brian brought these home and just put them in the ground until we could find a home for them...they seem to like it here in the sand!

I had to include this picture...I love these trees! We don't have many on our property, and of the 50 we planted, only a few survived...but these ones are thriving in the pure sand! I like to pretend my house is surrounded by them! One day it will be...these trees are producing a small forest with all the shoots they are sending out.

My beautiful fence and arbour covered in virginia creeper. It gets better every year!

Another few of my forest in the making!

And last, a pretty little shrub that Brian planted...but I can't remember what it is...maybe someone can tell me.

That's it for June. I can't believe we're just a few days away from July...see you next time!

  Last week, a blogging friend posted a response to a reader's concern about the change in direction her writing had taken. She had recently begun posting about her health and fitness...where in the past her posts were more focused on spiritual encouragement. In her video she explained why she felt that the two were not mutually exclusive, and that both spiritual and physical health were important. 

  I appreciated her response, because I'm in a similar place...not just with writing, but life in general, and realizing the need to make some changes to be the healthiest I can be. I know that there are many things in this life that we have no control over...the timing of the last breath we take being one of them, but until that day comes, I think God expects me to be the best that I can be, both spiritually AND physically....and just as with Kasey...what is happening in my life tends to spill over into my writing...whether it's here, on Lyric Devotions, or on my Face Book.
