Gratitude Sunday

I am grateful for all the natural beauty that surrounds me...

Wild Strawberries...

Fields of green and the dogwood blooming..



Skies of blue....wind blowing...



Paths through the trees to hike...

details of nature...

I  have so much to be grateful for..thank you Lord for putting me on this amazing spinning earth...I am loving it and feeling so blessed.

Spring Time - My Favorite Time of the Year!

 Spring...I can't tell you enough how dear you are to me.  Your beautiful new green feeds my tired old eyes and makes them feel alive and young again.  The colors and blooms you give so freely feeds my soul like nothing else can.  Thank You Spring!

 Come and sit awhile and soak in the loveliness of SPRING!  She is a true beauty with a generous heart!

 The ducks are glad that Spring is here...they enjoy their naps in the green grass much more than in the snow; grass is soft and comfy and makes for good duck dreams!

Peach blossoms!

Even these little rambunctious guys are wonderful...I think we will put them into some muffins soon!

Daffodils

Spring gives us fairy rings...
their enchantment makes even old hearts
feel young again!

Need Help, Emma?

Yes, we know how to knit!

Karate Girl and her Kitty!

The girls love their Christmas Kitties so much!  They bring us joy everyday with their antics.  Yes, sometimes they make messes, break things, and in general cause havoc. But they are so worth it all.

I still dream back to our visit to Longwood Gardens...O' the healing balm of flowers! These pictures are some I took on our visit there.

O' spring where are you? It is cold and windy again today and I saw a few flurries earlier today here is PA.

Thank You, Lord

 

I love to sit and listen

    In the early morning hours

To the buzzing of the busy bees

     Taking honey from the flowers.

 

I love to watch the sunlight

     Come filtering through the trees

And hear the happy Meadowlark

     Sing songs so merrily.

 

I love to watch a fluffy clouds

     Drift by without a sound

A butterfly goes dancing by,

     A leaf twirls to the ground.

 

I pause for just a moment;

     A silent prayer I say,

"Thank You for my blessings, Lord,

     Thank You for this day!"

Happy Easter and Happy Spring!

O' my a sight for sore eyes...signs of spring!

The Bees were out and having a ball in the sun!!
Yes, I said SUN!

LOVELY

A fairy left this ring of flowers for us!

 

I think Spring finally found us here in Central PA!  Soon the colts foot will be peeping their yellow heads up and the service trees will be blooming!

                 HAPPY EASTER!! Christ has Risen!

Okay...I Need A Little Christmas....that is how the song goes but I changed the words to I Need A Little Summer....right this very minute....so here are some pictures of my flower beds from 2011!  Everything is so green.  It is hard to believe that in March when things are so gloomy that it will be this green in a month or so....I am so ready for GREEN GRASS all around.... all around!!
