any combination of disparate elements that forms or is felt to form a unified whole, single image, etc. this will be the theme of what spills out onto my new blog. all the elements i will be adding will be a collection of my thoughts, my words, my photographs, the images i want to convey.
i love photographing my life, my garden, my children, my animals, and anything i find beautiful or intriguing.marmeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00622899170079254810noreply@blogger.comBlogger14125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505863542024482956.post-25412979840356946242018-09-09T11:07:00.000-07:002018-09-09T22:31:20.726-07:00are you thirsty?<style type="text/css">

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;">It puts you on your face before our Holy Father.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"></span>This position is exactly where the Holy Spirit has a space in your heart to do mighty things. He convicts and gives you the gift of repentance. Repentance is the first act that brought you into the presence of God through salvation.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;">So why do so many of us avoid this place of repentance?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes we are heavy with guilt under the pressure of sin. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;">Often we are too proud to admit we have sin.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are any number of reasons.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;">But our Heavenly Father always had us in mind with love when he created repentance. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It’s a reset button...a refreshing way to get to walk into the freedom we were created for. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">my life just like everyone else's goes through ebb and flow. this last year and half my life has been ebbing exponentially more than other years.</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> on march 2nd, 2015 i was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer with metastasis in my liver....there are only 5 stages. yikes. that in and of itself was a bit mind blowing. by march 13th (shows you how important it was) i was having surgery to remove the cancerous tumor and the metastasized place on my liver. </span></div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> while this was going on my brother-in-law was waging war on prostate cancer, my mother was dealing with heart blockage and a number of other health issues, my brother had cancer on his face, my best friend's daugther's father-in-law was diagnosed with stomach cancer and just passed away last night, my son-in-law had just conquered a death threat from mrsa, and recently my best friend, maday, had a brain aneurism and while in surgery suffered a stroke, she has had really great care and is recovering but has a lot of rehabilitation that she and all of us, her family have to participate in, which takes a lot out of a family.</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and then as recently as the last months, my father-in-law, came to visit us with Dave's mom, he fell in our upstairs guest room and was rushed to the hospital with Afib but in his case a very low irregular heart beat. he proceeded to have a pace maker put in and medicine to regulate his heart but was told to go home and have aortic value surgery asap. dave drove them home to merritt isand florida from our home in franklin, tn, just two days after his dad's surgery.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the day after they got there my father-in-law, bennie wanted to go for a walk on the beach with dave. they walked and talked about life, love and of course Jesus because bennie loved Jesus with his whole heart. as they departed from the shore bennie reached out to dave and said "hold on to me" but shortly after that collapsed to the sand and he was gone. he died right there on that beach with dave grasping his hand. dave called me in utter distress from the sandy shore of cocoa beach and i prayed for peace to cover him and bennie. </span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">this is not to mention all the other things like children suffering from anxiety, dabbling into dangerous drugs, and drinking their lives into the ground and just the toll that life itself takes on you. you all know what i mean. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">needless to say it has been quite the year of tough times, emotionally and physically.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">many of you that know us and our family and we have already experience some really hard times in this world. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but i have to tell you even though we have been put in the fire, tried, and tested...we still have hope. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">we have hope. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">as life has thrown seemingly every challenge at us from all sides i am ever aware of what a wonder life is. i have an appreciation for just how precious our time is with family and friends. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">after my surgery in march my family came from their respective corners of this world to care for me as i was recovering...this was an enormous message of their love language to me. </span><br />
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">time = value i felt valued by them for the time they invested in my recovery. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">my daughter, esther, with two small children at home came at the most intensive time, during surgery and right after, leaving her children, grace, 8 and garnet, 4 at home with their dad, brad, who took them to work with him the entire time esther was with me. my daughter, rachel raising her two girls, gwyne, 15 and ellery, 11 with her husband, eric and working full time was right there taking care of my needs as well. then my mother who was putting off her own health issues and is 82 came and took care of my family in the best possible way, cooking and keeping their spirits up, and making sure i had what i needed. my sister came just as i was feeling somewhat better and had to keep me from doing too much by planting some of my spring garden...that i was not able to do. my own hubby and children were there too. always putting me first, making sure i had the love and support i needed. plus my good friends, making meals and making sure my family was well supported.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">it was a time of pulling together to make the whole family work. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">it has been very intense with little wiggle room to breathe. all the while researching as much as we could about the disease that was trying to take my life from me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">we have all spent countless hours trying to determine the best possible route for me personally to take with my diagnosis. i do have a family history with my mom having had colon cancer when she was 70. she also had surgery. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">with a lot of prayer and research and contemplating, i have made the choice not to have chemotherapy or radiation. my oncologist for surgery and after care aren't too happy. but this is my life and my choice. i am making a lot of different life style adjustments. but there is no map or real guidelines for this choice. there is so much information out there and it can be quite confusing because there are experts on both sides, really on many sides. but for me and my family it has been a quality of life choice. i have decided to go at it from the point of let's find out why my cancer decided it could develop on the inside of my body. i have started seeing a chiropractor to maximize my nervous system that runs every organ in my body including my brain, colon, liver and all other organs. right now it's intensive with three times a week adjustments until i have my spine lined up as it is supposed to be. i am incorporating acupuncture once a week. i have changed a lot about my eating even though i was already eating mostly organic and farm fresh. i am off sugar, which is an enviroment cancer loves to reside in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">love=healing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i have add countless tests, scans, and blood work done over the course of this last year. my last two ct scans have showed no signs of cancer. all of my blood work has come back clear of any signs of cancer. according to the statistics...i had only a less than 2% chance of making it. but God isn't concern with stats...He is focused on what can be done...what was already done on the cross. the healing that is mine to proclaim over my own life. the ultimate show of love as a good shepherd, as a Father. i am a living, breathing result of His love for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and i am grateful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">gratefulness=peace</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i have been on a journey to be at peace for at least 11 years. a real life sojourn of seeking it out and pursuing peace. seeking ways to add a peaceable life in this ever-increasingly chaotic world we live in. one of the ways i have come to understand how to be at peace </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">is being grateful. in times of turmoil...focusing on the areas of my life that are good, that are fulfilling, that i'm passionate about, that bring to mind how wonderful life really is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">adding up all the things i'm thankful for puts life into perspective.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">there are many other ways i have sought to be at peace but i have found being grateful one of the ways you can easily add being at peace to your life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i wanted to thank you my family...every member of it and the part you played in my healing. i could not have done this without you. i love each one of you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">thank you to my extended family of believers who have prayed for me and been there with encouraging words. i love each one of you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">thank you to all my friends near and far that have blessed my life with you being in it. i love each one of you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and finally and most ardently thank you to my heavenly Father whom i count on everyday to be with me and keep me on the right track of life, change, time, value, love, healing, gratefulness, and peace.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">my love to each one of you,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">sharon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">phillipians 1:18-21</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">so how am i to respond? i've decided that i really don't care about their motives, whether mixed, bad, or indifferent. every time one of them opens his mouth, Christ is proclaimed, so i cheer them on!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and i'm going to keep that celebration going because i know how it's going to turn out. through your faithful prayers and the generous response to the Spirit of Jesus Christ, everything He wants to do in and through me __will be done.__</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i can hardly wait to continue on my course. i don't expect to be embarrassed in the least. on the contrary everything happening to me in this jail(sickness) only serves to make Christ more accurately known, regardless of whether i live or die. they didn't shut me up; they gave me a pulpit?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">alive i'm Christ's messenger and dead i am His bounty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">life versus even more life! i can't lose.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">in other words,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">for me to live is Christ and to die is gain.</span><br />

<br />
but back to the good things. this is about those things. like the fact that i adore rust and i adore plants. when these two are combined i have a surge of inspiration.<br />

up next to the front porch i wanted some foundational plants so i planted reblooming lilacs. i am a sucker for any shrub or tree that blooms. this is the second spring they have been there and i am beyond happy with the results. i planted some heucheras and black mondo grass(ophiopogon plansicapus) between them. they still need some time to multiply to look good.<br />

well i knew we would have to come up with some kind of solution for our raised beds because the chooks wanting to stratch around in the beds and look for bugs and worms. i saw a picture of a play tent for children and thought that would work. i know that sounds completely insane but that's how my mind works. i showed a picture to my hubby and he set about to get them built. i knew he would come up with something but the covers he made are brilliant. he used two by two's and bird netting. the result is not only completely chicken proof it is also bird proof, dog proof, small children proof and very beautiful to boot.<br />

i am completely thrilled with the end result.<br />
<br />
this front fenced in area used to be all grass and some rather ugly landscaping or a lack of any design. here's a before from october of 2010. i like it a lot more now and we get great edibles from our simple design.<br />

we killed the grass over the course of the last few years by laying down newspaper, craft paper, opened card board boxes then covering it with pine-straw mostly. we did amend the soil around the foundational plants and then in the raise beds we used a combination of composts(mushroom, hen, cow) as well as worm castings, peat moss, manure, vermiculite and a small amount of sand in some.<br />
<br />
i also bought a vintage four~poster wrought iron bed from an estate sale. it's smaller than a twin but bigger than a crib. i plant our beans on it and a vining black~eyed susan.<br />
here it is on a particularly foggy morning last summer.<br />

i've always had a thing for birds. when i was a teen a neighbour asked me to watch their aviaries full of love birds, budgies and cockatiels. at first walking in those giant aviaries was scary because the birds would take flight but as summer after summer went on with me caring for the birds it instilled in me my love for birds. </div>

since we moved to tennessee in the year 2000. we have had various finches inside but when we moved to the countryside of leiper's fork about 7 years ago my finches were all gone and we started feeding the wild-birds and watching for all the different kinds of birds we could attract it fulfilled that need i had for having birds close by. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then last may, 2013 we decided to add chickens here on the farm and they have been so full of delight. each one has it's own distinct personality. some come running up to you while others don't seem to care. </div>

rowan is a male huskey. he now resides indoors all day while the chickens are out unless we are out supervising. it was a hard lesson to learn but now we and he understand he has a high prey drive and needs help.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we can all be outside together nowadays and he lets the chickens come up to him. but we will not leave him to his own devises. in all fairness we were not aware that the chickens could get out until it happened. </div>

i would highly recommend having chickens if it is possible for you to have them. we are getting the best organic eggs you could ask for...right as they are laid in our own back yard. they eat lots of leftovers. they have cute individual personalities that are endearing. they are quite beautiful. they are fun to hold and pet. all in all it's been a very rewarding experience. </div>

i put this sign up a few years ago for christmas and haven't taken it down since. you can see it as soon as you turn into the driveway and it speaks to me. the bust of marie antoinette was a local acquisition several years ago. i love antiques in the house, in the garden, and on the porches. this little stroller came from an estate sell a few years ago.<br />

there is something very satisfying about using something unexpected as a container for plants. besides "upcycling" which i have been doing all my life as a way of being fugal because i had to be, it is visually more intriguing. thus when i am out and about, antiquing, at the farmer's market, thrifting, or stopping at a yard sale, i am constantly thinking would this work at a planter in my garden.<br />
<div>
the wrought iron bed was bought from a local estate sale of a woman that is in her nineties...she had been collecting all her life. i had been looking for the perfect iron bed for my garden for years. honestly i didn't want to spend a fortune since i knew it was going in the garden. this bed was the right one for me. it was smaller than a twin and larger than a crib size. on one corner of the bed it is planted with a vining black eyed susan that comes back every year. the other three posts are planted seasonally with beans of our choice for that year. it is stunning in the summer when everything is growing. this is located in the front fenced in potager off the front porch next to our 5 raised beds.<br />

i found these great olive picking buckets a couple of years ago at a local antique store <a href="http://www.cityfarmhousefranklin.com/">city farmhouse</a>...the minute i saw them i thought what great containers these would make. i lined them with some older burlap, added soil and voila' the perfect welcoming containers at my backdoor patio. i found the carriage wheels at last years <a href="http://www.historicfranklin.com/events/main-street-festival">franklin main street festival</a> from a local vender...i love how it elevates the second olive picking bucket and has room enough for the beautifully aged watering can.(which i got at the<a href="http://www.natcheztracetravel.com/festivals-events/details/203-old-tennessee-trail-yard-sale.html"> old tennessee trails yard sale.)</a></div>

back in the day i collected many <a href="http://www.longaberger.com/">longaberger baskets</a>. i use them all constantly and they have stood the test of time. they are hand woven in the u.s.a. i placed plastic inserts inside the baskets then filled with <a href="http://www.whiteflowerfarm.com/55032-product.html#">fafard complete container mix.</a><br />
during easter they seem appropriate to plant with<br />
some seasonal herbs(peppermint, english wedgewood thyme, & greek oregano) plus flowers just outside of my<br />
kitchen backdoor for easy snipping to use in my cooking.<br />
