Life lately

I thought I'd share a few random things from the last week.


Last weekend we went to a surprise birthday party!  My sister Terri and her husband Dave both turned 60 within a week of each other. So their kids threw a surprise party.





Daughter Chelsea took them for a drive, then had them put on masks before coming it.




Surprise! 
Their kids did a great job and we all had a good time.





Someone from church had lots of extra tomatoes they gave me, so I canned this salsa.  I also canned tomatoes and tomato sauce.  It feels good to have that stored away!



The weather has been beautiful, and I've been enjoying some walks in a wooded area down the road from us.




As I was walking, this caught my eye.  What is a shell doing on the edge of the woods?





Isn't this a beautiful tree?  Being out in nature is such a reminder of God's majesty.  Makes me think of the song 'How Great Thou Art'.





Blue skies and sunshine!  I'm enjoying it while I can.

Hi Mari! You have some beautiful pictures in this post. So glad you are having a nice late summer. That salsa looks delicious, and your sister's surprise party looked like it was a lot of fun for everyone! It's always nice to see what you've been up to. Have a good week!
