Patchwork Flower Farm

PATCHWORK POTATO PIZZA 😋 Mr. Patchwork made the crust and I plopped on the toppings… boiled red potatoes, sweet onions, portobello mushrooms, crushed thyme, and minced garlic. Half of it got goat cheese and the other half got Parmesan. Mr Patchwork baked it at 500° for 12 minutes and then topped it off with freshly ground black pepper. Perfection!

About four months ago I took this photo of a "still life" I put together using a teapot from my kitchen, a flower from my garden, and a scrap of fabric from my craft room. I had forgotten about this photo… until today when I was [aimlessly] scrolling through my camera roll.

When I saw it, I stopped the scroll.

I needed to stop… and focus my eyes on God. My perspective needed readjusting in order to remember that HE is my refuge and strength, not the human institutions, governments, and gods of this earth.

He says, "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; He lifts his voice, the earth melts. The LORD Almighty is with us, the God of Jacob is our fortress. (Psalm 46)

End Note: God knows how to take the simple everyday objects of my ordinary life (teapots, flowers, and fabric scraps) and use them to get my focus back on Him. His ways are always perfect and His timing is always perfect.

🐾 Winnie visited Patchwork Flower Farm this evening. Lucky me got to “babysit” my new friend while her family was busy posing for pictures in my garden. (Some poses included Winnie.)

🐾 I can’t wait to see the finished photos the photographer took during this fun family photo session.
