a ribbon holds my place
in the Psalms
older now
used books settle
in their new home
new space
on a few shelves

Some time in the yard, and grateful to see so many old friends. Primroses, daffodils, ferns, small bleeding hearts, and other flowers. We are grateful to see the bees. Our Easter lily plants are in the garden, near the back door. And also the small hyacinth plants we bought at a store.
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people:
and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
Psalm 108: 3

From the rising of the sun
unto the going down of the same
the LORD’s name is to be praised.
