Monday's Coffee Talk

 Hello Monday!

Tammy brought me flowers for my birthday last Friday!  It's a Reiger Begonia, the blooms look like little roses, a very pretty plant.

It was a very quiet and peaceful weekend at my house.  The weather was nice and I managed to do some porch-sitting while the dogbabies played in the yard.  They are liking this springy weather too.  My plants look terrible from the hard freeze we had earlier, some are showing new growth and that's a good sign.  It's going to be a slow process but I don't think I lost any.  My Hearts of Hawaii really look bad, I'm holding my breath with them.  I think I'll repot them and see if that will help to make them come back to life.  With that said, the porch was still very inviting and I enjoyed my time out there.  The porch also serves as my prayer closet when the weather allows.  I love to be with the Lord when I'm out there, I can feel Him with me.

Coffee Trivia:

You Can Thank Goats for Coffee

Did you know goats were the reason why coffee was invented?  According to legend, in the 9th century, Ethiopian farmers noticed the way their goats danced when they ate the Coffea plant. A local monk decided to give it a try and realized the drink kept him up at night and thus, coffee was born.

Around Town:

The seagulls were waiting for supper.   They are always hanging around the boat ramp waiting for boaters to come in, hoping to get their left over bait.

Family Time:

Granddaughter Maegan and her daughter Ava. 💕

Great grandson Henry, he's growing like a weed. 

Blessings From Heaven:

Speaking from my own heart, it's been a wonderful experience becoming better acquainted with some of the many and marvelous blessings that are ours in Christ Jesus. . . blessings from the very heights of heaven.  It's incredible to realize that as children and daughters of the King, you and I have received "every spiritual blessing"(Ephesians 1;30).  Believe it, because God says it!  This fact alone should prompt us to fall to our knees in adorating praise.  My friend, as you are obedient to God and rely on the power of the Spirit, you will experience the daily reality of your heavenly blessings in Christ.

Reiger Begonia:

Rieger begonias are lovely flowering plants that bloom in bright pinks, reds, yellows, oranges, and whites.  Rieger Begonias (Begonia x hiemalis) are popular houseplants with gorgeous

flowers with gorgeous blooms.

Rieger Begonias are hybrid crosses of Fibrous Wax Begonias and Tuberous Flowering Begonias.

They thrive in indirect light and moist potting soil. They’re also very easy to grow!

Watering Rieger begonia

Rieger Begonia thrives with moist, well-draining soil. In addition, soggy soil can lead to root rot

and powdery mildew. So, it’s best to wait until the top layer of soil becomes dry before watering.

You can check the soil’s moisture levels by sticking your finger in the soil. If it’s dry, go ahead and

water your plant. If not, wait a few days and check again.

Today's Prayer:

Lord, help me to think of others and to share Your love with them so they, too, can experience the countless blessing You give.  I want to hold tightly to Your magnificent promises and the great gifts of Your peace, love, and grace.

Amen

Until Next Time

Please pour me some coffee

a cup or two.

Then I'm sure I'll be totally new
