Yard Adventures...

Hello Sweet friends!  I adore being outside all the time when the weather is nice as it has been here in SC.  I often just walk the yard or neighborhood with my camera at the ready, to catch something new that God has provided.

 First Wild Strawberry of the season...

 New Cardinal nest taken by hubby.

 Blurry but here is Mama Cardinal setting on the nest...

 My daughter's "pet" squirrel who climbs the trellis and begs for a treat!

The Spring sunset making an almost heart shape...

 and a lovely little hop toad that came just at dusk.  He let me pet his head.

 An ugly mushroom that grew, split its cap overnight!

Sunrise with the sun hitting the tops of the trees across the lake...
All of life is an adventure!!  I cannot wait to wake every morning to see what God is going to do with each new day! pls see http://kerrieshomejournal/ for an inspiring message today!!  Thank you!

HUGS TO YOU ALL,

My heart to yours...

Sunday Blooms!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING TO YOU!  This is the same cactus as in the last post.  It just keeps opening buds and there are plenty more to come.  It loves the cold night temps we have been having.  It is such a great color.  The other one that I have had for 40 some odd years blooms closer to Christmas and is a deep red.  I cannot wait to see that one!  Isn't it wonderful that God gave us so many beautiful livng things to fill us wih joy and simple peasures?  I am filled with awe whenever I look at the details in nature that are so precise and beautiful.  Today I am thankful for cerulean blue skies with puffy little clouds here and there, fall leaves on the ground, the browning grass and the mischievious squirrels.  I am thankful for a lovely weekend with grandchildren filling the house with giggles and camping out on blow-up mattresses in the living room! And yes even for the 2 little dogs that came with them-ha!
    Thank you Lord for every blessing that you give to us and for all of those yet to come.  Amen.

Thanks to all of you Sister Bloggers!

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A FRIEND!

We are all different and we are from far away places from each other but we are joined in our interests, our passionate beliefs, our morals, our loves, our cancers, our crafts and interests, our recipes, and our love for one another despite the distances and differences!  You have made my day when I signed on this morning and had a flood of comments on my various recent posts!  I was so thankful for the friendships, support, prayers and just sharing.  What a blessing you all are to me!  Before I developed my blogger friendships, I was very lonely.  I am homebound with my hubby most of my days.  He cannot walk far due to the Multiple Myeloma which is destroying his spine and bones.  So we cannot do the things we used to do like walking, canoeing, heavy remodel, long car trips, yard work.  We do just what he is able to do and he naps often so that he has the strength and inclination to make his wood items and perhaps visit the craft store or grocery shop.  He only drives when he feels absolutely well as he has syncope (feeling faint) much of the time.  And sometimes he gets a little confused.  But he makes me laugh part of every day, makes me little surprises of wood,  pushes himself to do some yard work, bakes (I am on a cholesterol/heart diet-ha!) and we give each other lots of forehead kisses when we pass by one another.  In otherwords, we are in love and spend everyday just thankful for life.  We are able to camp and Bill enjoys that very much.  Sometimes when we are camping, we forget that he has cancer for a short while!  It has been very theraputic.

You bloggers opened up a world to me and now I am not so lonely.  I enjoy your pets, your sharing illnesses, the visits to your lovely homes and shops, and personal notes that you write.  What more could a girl ask for!  Love you all!!

The craft show starts early eve for the residents in our community and we are packing things for transporting to the clubhouse and putting some last minute pricing.  I will take a picture of our set up when we finish this afternoon.
