One thousand gifts and counting ...
Every day on my way to work, I pass by a sign on the side of the road. I've been curious to stop but it's too early since they don't open until 8 am.
There are roses in a variety of colors. You can cut them yourself and then wrap them in newspaper to take home.
On Saturday, I made a special trip to stop by and say hello. I spoke with Evan and he told me they can keep the roses growing and looking so pretty through the summer despite the Arizona heat. He recommended bringing gloves when I came back to cut my dozen.
As I took a few photos, a farmer was busy working in the field. He told me he was planting a variety of melons. He invited me to return later in the season so I could pick my own to buy.

Our three year old class is learning about how caterpillars transform into butterflies. How exciting to get to see this occur right before our very eyes. The kids and teachers are fascinated!

Carpooling gives me lots of time to get to know Tara. We've grown to become good friends, even though I'm old enough to be her mother. :) She's getting married to Josh at the end of July, so I get to hear all the details of the wedding planning. I have to admit that
...I'm loving it.

Life can be very challenging but God is good. How thankful I am as I look for the everyday blessings He provides.
