morning announcements

Good Morning, friends! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We had such beautiful weather. So thankful!

For those of you who are observing Lent and Easter, here is a quick reminder that this is Holy Week. Although, I'm sure you all knew that. My first active participation of Lent has been a great one. I have been fasting from sweets (something physical) and negative words (something sinful). This week will be an intense one filled with a lot of reflection, prayer, and refection. I hope you join me. You can find today's Lenten prayer here.

This is also my last call for my 30 Day Fitness Challenge Group participants! I only have 2 spots left!! Who wants them? Not sure what the 30 Day Challenge is (she says, having an answer ready)?

As part of my group, you'll be one of five likeminded people. We'll track our progress along the way, hold each other accountable, and motivate, inspire, and encourage each other to achieve amazing results. It is time to get serious about your fitness, especially with swimsuit season RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! If you are interested and ready to take charge, comment below with your email address and I will send you all the info to get set up, or you can email me at feedingmytemple@gmail.com. Let's do this! 

Also, have you linked up for the Spring Fling today? You should see the giveaway...wow.

I personally have enough Spring fever to last the normal person a few years. I worked a bit on the exisiting bed that was here when we moved in. We also started the process of building a massive new one in the front of the house. I seriously can't wait.

The exisaiting bed was pretty awful. There was a TON of foundation overflow in it and it was very rocky. For that reason, it made planting a bit difficult because the soil isn't that deep. Look what I found to combat it!

Isn't that a great Shepard's hook?

I added a bird feeder. Chirp chirp. 

And these 2 hanging pots. 

In addition to some Knock Out roses I planted last year, I replaced some of the ornamental grasses with new ones and added 2 of these beautiful flowering shrubs.
