“Here and yonder, high and low, Goldenrod and sunflowers glow”*

by chuckofish

I did the flowers for church on Sunday–sunflowers make such a statement, don’t you think? I have a soft spot in my heart for them because years ago at my highfalutin’ Episcopal Church, the wife of the new rector put sunflowers on the altar and the frozen chosen ladies of the church were outraged. So when they are in season and available at Trader Joe’s, I always use them.

The OM and I went to the early service (and stayed for Sunday School) so we could finish early and get packed before going to the bud’s soccer game later in the afternoon.

This was accomplished and we brought daughter #1 home with us so that we could all get up at 3:00 am to Uber to the airport. Yikes.

While we are gone on our western adventure, daughter #2 will be filling in with literary thoughts and tales of the prairie girls…

…and updates of our travels. So be sure to stop by the blog this week.

And please don’t forget to keep us in your prayers.

And here’s a reminder from Tim Challies (and Hank Williams) not to let the dust gather on your Bible.
