Growing Things
Sometimes I can't get enough of life.
I think I startled this poor fellow.
And when the air starts turning crisp and the colors are popping and the wind is whipping the screen door shut, I know that not all of the green and growing things will be laden with snow.
Is this not one of the happiest aloe vera plants you have ever seen?

Child Garden
I think that in Nanticoke and the surrounding areas, sweet children sprout up like flowers.
Some of them even floated their way to Bainbridge to have a picnic in my apartment (the table wasn't big enough...).
God's been good to give me so many little seedlings to love, has He not? And just think, these few are just a sampling of the twenty-five nieces and nephews I've got. That's some garden.

It Can't Be Denied...
...time has passed.
It's hard to believe that I'm about to start my fourth year of teaching. It feels like yesterday that I was quailing at the thought of stepping into my own classroom for the first time and trying to have it all together.
Despite the rough patches, that first year was a good one.
Looking back at the few pictures I took, I smile.
The highlight of the year was having some of my kids over to my apartment to bake Christmas cookies. Some of my students had never done it before.
It's not about having it all together.
It's about loving the least of these and helping them grow to see what life can mean.

Caught By Surprise
Do you ever grin when something utterly ordinary assumes a loveliness you didn't expect?
Because I do.
Because I do.
Isn't She Lovely?
I snapped a few shots before the wedding began in earnest and the last thing in the world I was thinking about was my camera.
The unveiling:
On the way to the park for the ceremony:
I think she was excited, don't you?
And that's all I have. I was too busy Being to take any more pictures. So there.
The unveiling:
On the way to the park for the ceremony:
She held a Bible in her hands, worn with age. Her mother and all of her mother's sisters had clasped it as they walked down the aisle. Now it was her turn.
I think she was excited, don't you?
And that's all I have. I was too busy Being to take any more pictures. So there.
