Hi!
We're in the middle of VBA this week at work (Vacation Bible Adventure) and it's been so fun to watch the kids get excited about the activities!
The theme is True North. Magnetic North is one thing but True North never changes. Just like the Lord. He's the same yesterday, today and forever.
The Kids Team did a phenomenal job decorating and they did something in every room and every space. One fun thing, while we were in Iowa last month my niece was preparing for their church's VBA, they were doing True North too, and she had created a log cabin that was stunning! She used old carpet rolls, wrapped them in crinkled paper and somehow put them together to make this cabin.
We were blown away! So when we got home I showed our Kids Team this picture and they went to work finding supplies and ended up making one like it!
It amazes me the talent that some people have! I am not those people. Here's some more pictures of our VBA decor:
The waterfall on the left? That's our drum cage. And one of the hallways, with another waterfall at the end:
This week I've spent my time helping at VBA. When it ends at 12:30 I head upstairs to my desk and start my 'day job.' Then I come home and water the yard. That's about all the energy I have left!
My hydrangeas. When my mom was little they must have had a white one in their yard because she used to call it the 'snowball plant.' I've been told that the type of soil you have determines the colors of the flowers. I don't know anything about my soil, but I do love the way this one bush shows off it's colors:
And the flowers are big. Each year they seem to get bigger.
I'll use these for my greeting cards:
It's almost August and we've got a whole lot of blackberries! Each fall we cook them and make blackberry cobbler. It's so good with a little vanilla ice cream. That's like the official start of the fall season for us. What says fall to you?
And one more of the front of our house. I have calla lilies, orange dahlias, (hiding behind the lilies) and red geraniums. What's a flower that you grow every year? Or vegetable?
Have a great rest of your week!

Those log cabins are amazing! Hats off to the creativity to make them. Our VBS starts on August 4th and we do it in the evening. Your hydrangea bush is beautiful! We have several perennials that reappear every year that I did not plant. Have a good end of July!
Wow, that cabin is amazing. Your Hydrangeas are so beautiful and those berries look pretty awesome too.
Loads to love here but especially that cabin and those glorious hydrangeas. Both amazing.
