Welcome to The Shepherd’s House! ♥
My name is Sharon and I am a Christian homemaking wife and mother. My husband Bill and I have been married for 31 years. We have been blessed with 5 children ranging in age from 26 to 12 as well as one son-in-law and one daughter-in-law and the sweetest little grandson! I love everything that has to do with homemaking and making my home a cozy place to be. I also enjoy crafts, treasure shopping, antiques, quilts, and I am learning to love gardening ~ at least I love the results! Living a more purposeful life of simplicity and contentment is one of my goals!
Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit!! ♥
Sharon,
Thank you so much for stopping by my site and leaving your comment. I did have fun shopping for that material and appreciated your comments. Now, I have to get to work and sew up all that fabric.
I think the header on your site is beautiful! Is that your house? I think that I will enjoy coming back here often from what I can see though I have a Sunday School lesson to prepare right now but I promise that I will be back the first of the week and I will leave my comments so that you will know that I have been here.
The Strawberry-Spinach Salad looks yummy!
Hugs,
Dianne

Oh that is your house! Thought so..Lord I would relish just sitting there with a cup of coffee and a good book which I wouldn’t be reading because I would probably be day dreaming (sigh).

What a wonderful site!!! I’m so glad you came to visit mine so I could come to yours. I love your front porch, quotes, pic’s and of course quilting plus you’ve been married for as long as I have. We certainly are blessed and although I only had two daughters I am blessed with 6, soon to be 7, grandkids who I spend time with almost daily. I can’t wait to read back posts and visit more. I recognized Victoria immediately but wondered if you are in the Orcas island or San Juan(a place I hope to visit sometime). Blessings to you and yours this weekend.
In Him, Noreen

Sharon: Merry Christmas.
Where do you live that you have Hummers year round even with snow. How do they survive the cold temps?
We are in NW Florida (Panhandle) and do not have Hummers yr round. We live in a RV park in DeFuniak Springs and have a very small yard with our Coach. I want to add Hummingbird plants to attract them along with our feeders. Do you have any suggestions on plants?
Thanks for your help and God Be With You.

Hi Salli ~
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
We are in the Pacific Northwest. Just this year I discovered that the Anna’s hummingbirds are here year round ~ so we left our feeder out. I’m really not sure how cold of temps they can stand. It has been cold here ~ in the teens and 20’s and we’ve had snow for the past 2 weeks and there are hummingbirds coming regularly to the feeder.
In the summer we had geraniums, fushcias and some petunias nearby. Here is a link for some additional plants that might be of help to you.

Thanks for visiting ~ come back anytime!
Many blessings,
Sharon
