Well, once again blogging has been put to the side by more important priorities. But lest you think that we have forgotten all of you faithful readers, let me assure you that you are not forgotten. Blogging just doesn’t get as high of a priority as studying, visiting family members, practicing music, traveling around the country, hosting guests, gardening, working, or any of those other wonderful opportunities that the Lord brings across our path.
One of those such opportunities was just a couple weeks ago, when we found ourselves once again on a road trip traveling to see grandparents. It was such a great trip! The hand of the Lord was evident, even when the day before we were supposed to leave, the reverse went on our van.
We thoroughly enjoyed working together on various projects while we were there. Dad and Mom worked outside in the heat on a project: fixing the barn doors, which were dragging the ground when you swung them open and falling off their hinges. Most of the rest of us were busy inside doing domestic-type work. 
We also enjoyed looking at the beautiful day lilies that Uncle Fudge (our step-grandfather) has on the border of the property. There are soooo many different types and colors and variegations…. and did you know that every part of a day lily is edible?
We were also blessed to be able to minister in two churches that Sunday, one in Chattahoochee, FL, and the other in Bainbridge, GA. It was good to be able to spend time with extended family, grandparents, great-aunts and uncles, and friends.
Praise the Lord for each opportunity He gives us to serve others, whether it is by dusting a bookshelf or singing a song! May God grant us the wisdom to know which opportunities to take, and then the joy and the grace to follow through with the Lord’s guidance!!
Ok- So we just have to know…(we are Northerners you know) what do boiled peanuts taste like?????
What a great weekend! It was an extra treat to see the Whiddon family at the church on Sunday night!
Can’t wait until Uncle Fudge’s day lilies are big and we can split them and bring some home for our own yard. 🙂
Thanks for asking! According to our northern mom, 🙂 “They are like mushy chick-peas (you know, those things you get on salad bars), only very salty and are best hot.” We southern children echo her sentiments except that we like them cold too. 🙂 They are boiled in the shells and you must shell them.
And… if you don’t know what chick-peas are, it’s time for another visit to the sunny south!!!
That’s really neat about the skink – I’d never seen their eggs before.
A daylily expert here in WV said that they have more protein than green beans, and that the pastel colored ones taste the best. I suppose that since it is often the vitamins that give them their color (beta carotene for instance), the more intensely colored ones could have more concentrated nutrition, and perhaps the higher concentration makes them taste too strong.
Yeah we saw signs for boiled peanuts all over the place down there. I don’t recall ever eating any, but your description makes sense and I think I can imagine it… 🙂
