Foxy Ladies

“Then you must protect me from the foxes, foxes on the prowl, Foxes who would like nothing better than to get into our flowering garden.”

Song Of Solomon 2

The foxgloves are blooming now, aren't they beautiful? I wish these were ours, but I found them in other gardens. According to legend, the fairies gave foxglove blossoms to foxes so they could wear them as gloves and not get caught raiding the chicken cops. Although they look beautiful, every part of this plant is poisonous. It is also the source of digitalis, the most valuable heart drug ever discovered. It's other name is actually digitalis. Here is the best way to protect your heart.

Just know that I am God and the keeper of your heart
I will bring no damage to your heart
I will never let go
Yes, I will allow tragedy, hardships, frustrations and hurt
But I will never let go of your heart
I will hold you together even when you feel it is broken beyond repair
When the wounds seem to overtake you
Remember to call on Me

By Kath Brinkman

"If your heart is broken, you'll find God right there; if you're kicked in the gut, he'll help you catch your breath."

Psalm 34

Happy Days

Come along with me on a trip back to the 50's. I will treat you to a chocolate malt and play an Everly Brothers song on the jukebox for you. Or maybe you would rather hear Paul Anka or Bobby Darin. Be sure and wear your saddle shoes. Our blog friends Bobbi and Gary were passing through town yesterday, so we met at Wright's Dairy Rite. I thought I would show them a little local color. Wright's hasn't changed since 1952. They still have car hops come out to your car with food. Some of the tables have their own little jukeboxes, then there is this big beauty. There are phones at every table, and you pick them up and dial to order. You can sit at the bar, a table, or a booth. There are signed pictures on the wall of famous people who have eaten there like Lynyrd Skynard, the Statler Brothers, and various politicians. And if you stay long enough and look hard enough, you just MAY see the ghost of The Fonz heading for his bike with Pinky Toscadaro.

Don't always be asking, "Where are the good old days?"
Wise folks don't ask questions like that.

Ecc. 7:10
