local groceries

Took a walk around our complex.... bought veggies, saw the fountain, rescued flowers.


Our local grocery vendor sells sixty some sauces (ok, maybe 16), rice, bulgur and corn meal, sugar, salt and MSG, fresh noodles, steamed buns and tofu, and the this great array of fruits and veggies and eggs. It's perfect!







Our home is worlds better for my heart than I imagined we would ever have here, in a city of 7 million, well known for it's pollution. This week we heard birds' songs and smelled lilacs. Plus, we have dear friends that make it entirely worthwhile for us to be. right. here.

The flower patch at the front of our apartment complex was being dismantled. Most folks here do NOT waste anything... but these flowers were all being tossed for good. So we took several home with us and sent them home as gifts with a friend too.

  1. What great pictures, Jill! Those vegetables all look so yummy! I am praising the Lord with you for the wonderful place He has given you to live. Why were they getting rid of all those flowers?
