    Thanks for splashing me with God’s goodness today. I hope you don’t mind if I wade around a bit to get to know you. This looks like a refreshing place to dip into all good things.

      Oh my word I thought we killed it twice. We finally put it in the ground last summer and it was so very sad. BUT, now it is going to bloom with two big blooms. We are so excited, maybe for Easter!
