Compare yourself with those who on the Lord’s Day hear nothing except the dismal sound of the world. What a privilege it is for you to hear the proclamation of the gospel!

About My New Banner

The photo I used to make my new banner was taken last spring when I visited my family in Ashland, Ohio.

My mom and sister and I always try to make time to visit The Parsley Pot.

From the link:

For 30 years, Don and Sally Dilgard have been pouring their hearts and souls -- not to mention their creative talents -- into their wonderful business. Their shop is located in a beautiful, old bank barn built in the mid-1800s and is often described as a "bit of New England in Ohio." The building itself just radiates warmth and charm. Old mercantile counters and glass cases lend to the shops rustic atmosphere. In fact, the Dilgards still use an old-fashioned cash register.

"People are amazed we still use it," Sally said. "It works for us, so why change?"

The business began as a way for Sally to share her love for herbs. Her beautiful, old-fashioned herb garden is located behind the barn, and the plants -- now 30 years old -- are still thriving.

Some more images of one of Ashland County's favorite spots:

Love it! Makes me want to dig my hands into dirt and plant something fresh and green. It's 22 degrees here right now, with light snow.
