A mix of photography, recipes, personal thoughts, faith, and lots of family stuff, but not necessarily in that order.

Needles in a row

When I look straight up....
When I lay on my back, in the middle of our back yard at the cabin this is what I see.
A dozen or so Jack and White Pines, giant trees that seem to soar to the heavens.
They sway in the wind, and I pray they have a well grounded root system.
In the fall they drop their needles and they are everywhere

Yesterday, when we drove into the cabin's drive-way we saw that the needles had been 
blown into rows and we knew right away who was at work here. 
A man who is our friend, who doesn't sit idle for long, and has blown our needles for the last 4 falls. We dont ask him to, he just does it.... 
a humble, gracious friend who enjoys helping his neighbors, he is John..... 
we are blessed!
 Along side John, is Judy his bride and our friend. 
Judy is kind, gracious, funny and hospitable!
We have really only know these two on a more personal level for 4 years, 
but we feel like they've been our friends forever!
They are our neighbors up north and best friends of Rick's Aunt & Uncle. 

We eat together, do church together, visit each other and help each other,
did I mention we eat together.
We are blessed to have this couple in our lives, our friends...
John & Judy!
