"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Mulch Madness and Iresistable Irises


Today has been a good day.

I worked on my Chemistry this morning, and then Mom put me to work in her "Landscape Department", hauling mulch from our drive way to the path in the woods which we are mulching.
And who would be a better candidate then Mom’s young, strong, capable teenager?!? ;)

It’s been pretty nice out, and I even put on some shorts. Needless to say, scoping, hauling and dumping mulch isn’t my favorite pastime, but at least it gave me a chance to be in the out of doors.
Green is defiantly in style now, and is the overruling color wherever you look. Our maple tree has innumerable leaves on it now, and is very pretty. And it gives us a lot of shade too!
Dad mowed the back lawn last night, and even some of Mom’s irises are coming up. (See picture).

This evening we are going to eat at someone’s home, so that’ll be fun. And then my friends are coming over tomorrow…a lot of fun for one teenager!
