Spring in my yard ...

Spring finally arrived this week in my yard. I have white, yellow, pink, green. and purple. The rain stopped for a moment. Today it is beautiful. Blue skies and sunshine. A good day to be outside. I hope you are finding spring in your yards, too.

And of course, with the Spring flowers, come the weeds...



Toys...

Toys are meant to keep us busy, occupy our time, and bring us enjoyment. The thing about toys, the more we use them, the better we get at them. We find our own enjoyment in sharing our "toys" with others. We often find and develop talents as we play with our toys. These are some photos of my youngest son, Chase. He loves playing his guitar, which is his most favorite toy. He plays, writes songs, and entertains us. He enjoys sharing this talent with others. That's the thing about toys.

Spring in Rural America...

I blog often about our rural community. It is small. I went to the grocery store, and they were out of bread. It happens all the time. But, the good out weighs the bad. On Friday night, I was home alone, Jerry being out of town. I was really tired, and left my car unlocked, my house unlocked and the garage door up. I left a $20 bill and three $1 bills on the front seat of my car. All still there in the morning! A good, safe community! More Spring Rural Pics...

MK Challenge ~ Five Senses

It was hard for me to choose which of my five senses to focus on for this challenge. We take them all for granted. Each day we go about our business, not even realizing what we are seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling or touching. So many blessings, unrecognized.

One of the most comforting things is a warm, chocolate chip cookie. It seems to wash the stresses of the day away. Seeing them bake in the oven, hearing the timer buzz, smelling the warm chocolate, tasting the melty, warm, gooy, crunchy cookie. What else goes with a glass filled with cold milk? To me, a perfect end to a day. It is something to share with your family and friends. It is something you can do, just for you.

Do you need a cookie? Come on over!
