Surprised

Saturday, and Sylvia was working in the flower gardens.  I was splitting my attention between the Bible study prep and a NASCAR race on TV (turned it on with the sound off).  The heating pad on my back didn’t require my attention.

I heard the back door open.  I looked up expecting to see Sylvia.  It was our son, Bryant.

“Hi,” I said, “What are you doing here?”

The answer he gave, “We were in the area and decided to drop off an early Father’s Day gift.”

I realized I had to follow him.  I did.

Stepping out of the back door, I saw . . .

Now mulched

Now mulched

Bryant and Barbara who worked so hard cleaning up this area a week earlier, had returned and put down bark mulch to control weeds.  Wow!

Doesn't it look great?

Doesn’t it look great?

That was such a huge help and I’ll think of them every time I come in or go out the door.

I love it

I love it

Thanks Bryant and Barbara.  Your gift is very much appreciated, and all the more so because you put yourselves into it.

Sylvia and I are so greatly blessed.  So this week starts well and looks even better.
