Not in my garden

But I wish it was!

Same View Yet Different

It's the same view out my front door that I look at every day.
Yet I am continually fascinated by the creativity
of our Creator.

"For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities- His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God."
~Romans 1:19-20~ (NLT)

In The Garden

Gardening and I are like a struggling romance.
I love gardens.
I love the colors and the textures.
I love the excitement of the first peek of a seedling.
I love the fresh growth after a steady rain.
I love the health it produces!


I'm not so fond of weeding.
I'm really turned off by ICKY bugs---
especially BIG, green tomato worms
and slimy slugs!
No!
On second thought, the tomato worms are the worst!
Nothing sends me far away from my love like those HUGE, ugly, green aliens!

Yet, the garden grows on.
And after my loyal husband defeats those green monsters,
I return to the romance.
I'm not looking forward to the invasion of those enemies
but for now, I'm enraptured by the beauty
of being in the garden again.

Dizzy!

Sometimes life is like riding a tire swing.
You have to hold on tight and enjoy the ride.

And when it finally stops spinning around,
you're left so dizzy
that you can't help but to laugh!

Question is:
Do you want to get back on the swing again?
;o)

The "Cow Way"

We live in rural America.
Our location allows us to have multiple routes
by which we can travel on our way home.

The girls have a favorite route they refer to as
the "Cow Way".
There is one particular intersection where I almost always hear,
"Can we go the "cow way", pleeeeeease!"
Today, I acquiesced to their request (name that movie!)
and they were rewarded!

This is why it's called the "Cow Way".

There are often cows in a beautiful, picturesque pasture (as opposed to the usual flat, drab lot) on this route.

And today the cows were joined by calves.
Isn't Spring wonderful?

Ok! Ok! It can be a little itchy too!
But it's still far more desirable than winter in my book.

"Wha' choo lookin' at, Willis?"

HE is Risen!

"But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

'He is not here, but He has risen.'

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and He said to them, 'Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day; and that repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. ...'

(From Luke 24)

The Trouble with Trash!

When you get into it, it can be hard to get out of.

It has a way of sticking with you.

OH! Sooooooooo many applications!

*note: No kitties were harmed in the capturing of these images. Miz Peanut got herself into this predicament which was more cosmetic than anything. After showing off her styling self, we helped her return to normal kitty-dom. *

Spring Sign

My mom's crocuses have started peeking out from
their blanket of fallen leaves.

I LOVE Spring!

Nap!

I am thankful for the warm temperatures and sunshine
our area has been spoiled by this week.

BUT...

It has been a LONG week full of emotional anticipation
and stress for me.

A nap looks like a perfect way to finish off this week!

ZZzzzzzzzz.....
