Sunday, July 13, 2014. Great Garden Harvest Continues. Closeup of zinnias and glads in the front garden bed. Beautiful sunset after a 1" rain last week. The Honeydew melons are just loaded with large melons. Cantaloupe are a bit later but loaded as well. Summer Slice cucumbers are plentiful and tasty. This is after 3 minutes in the microwave, then I enjoyed it! The Butternut squash are loaded too. The near row is butternut.I count 10 visible in the picture. July 13, 2014 at 3:41 PM.

Saturday, September 13, 2014. This was taken 2 weeks ago and now even the green corn is dry. The garden is done for the year and only some cleanup remains. We are still eating the last of the sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, but that is it. Temps have cooled into 70-82 highs and 50's lows. Pretty nice weather. My radiation and chemo was suspended last Tuesday because of side effects. A very mouth-sore bottom lip and also diarrhea that caused a weight loss of 22 pounds in 8 days! I am retired ...

Thank you so much for your prayers. In All Things, Give Thanks. Thursday, November 20, 2014. Not So Good News. I feel goo...

Tennessee Country Living
http://tennesseecountryliving.blogspot.com/2015/05/well-done-goodand-faithful-servant.html
Friday, May 29, 2015. Well done, good and faithful servant…”. The time has come to submit the final chapter in Ray’s blog. He wanted to write it himself but the disease process began to move quickly after his Thanksgiving post and he found he could no longer convey his thoughts well enough to write. We thought it proper to let his last post, “ Thankfulness. 8221;, stand until such time as we could write a final tribute. He did, after all, leave this world with a thankful heart. Ray wanted you, his reader...

Tennessee Country Living: Summer ebbing away
http://tennesseecountryliving.blogspot.com/2014/08/summer-ebbing-away.html
Friday, August 8, 2014. With today being the first full day of school and the garden harvest dwindling, summer is seemingly drawing to a close. It seems way too early. We have been giving away produce by the sacks full, but harvest is rapidly dwindling. We still have green tomatoes, but the plants are showing stress and not ripening as fast. I have been eating tomatoes once or twice a day for several weeks. The melons all came on at once as you can see in this picture. Quick medical update: I am feeling ...

Tennessee Country Living: Not So Good News
http://tennesseecountryliving.blogspot.com/2014/11/not-so-good-news.html
Thursday, November 20, 2014. Not So Good News. Most likely I have peritoneal seeding, where cancer cells are in the fluid in my abdomen. I feel good except for some pain in the abdomen, which may be caused by pressure from the fluid. We will keep fighting while still submitting to God's will for me. He knew my days from the beginning of time and I trust Him. Thank you for your continuing prayers. I know not why God’s wondrous grace. To me He hath made known,. Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love. Living and...
