A New Year | Laveda D. Rockford

 


A New Year

I have not had time to post over the holiday weekend. I hope that everyone had a wonderful time and for those who are not having the best of times, please know that my prayers are for you.

It is a new year, and who would have thought we would reach the year 2023 without a problem? We, the human race, have to deal with so much. It seems, at times, that we hear bad news every day. But the good news is that we are still here. The bad news is that we are still here. What do you know.  So, we will do our best for the year ahead of us.

I decided to start a new painting for 2023. Yes, an oil painting. I do not have much time to paint but it felt good to get a paint brush in my hands again, other than painting the bathroom wall, which I did recently. And yes, I have another full-time job other than what I do here, and my time is limited.

I will not say much about my new painting since my aunt commented when she first saw it, “Is that stairs?” Well, no, that is not stairs. I will show you a photo of it and you decide.

I hope to post another update about my new painting as soon as I can. God bless and let’s be the best we can be in 2023.

Love always,

Laveda D. Rockford

The Path | Laveda D. Rockford

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
