Our Very Own Oasis

As we sat on the bench on our front porch 

we marveled once again at our very own oasis that God has provided for us...

 ...a little corner of the world where we can spend time together

or invite our guests into our home.

 Our little gardener with his colourful begonias is the first thing you see when you walk through the walkway...

 but there are literally flowerpots all around us.

 We both just love to create arrangements and then watch them grow...

...sometimes they work out really well...

...while other times it doesn't quite turn out the way we had it pictured!

 But at the end of the day...

 ...whether looking out our kitchen window

...sitting at the dinner table

 ...or enjoying breakfast at our little bistro table,

hidden from the world,

...we love our little oasis

and daily give thanks for the beauty all around us
that we get to enjoy together!
