I love all your pictures of God's creation that surround you, particularly the flowers--oh, the freshness and renewal of spring. Sounds like your world has been a wet one; ours in the South has been wetter than most springs and seasonably mild. However, we just did turn our air on last night--we enjoy the warmth during the days and the cherish the freshness of the cool nights. We have a small herb garden along with a few tomatoes and peppers just in planters and pots on our back porch as well as a small flower garden planted in the front of the town home we rent. So I have gotten to dig in the dirt again this spring--I am still so much a farm girl at heart. Keep enjoying the beauty around you. One of the things on by bucket list is to visit the Northwest--an uncharted territory for me. So your blog is so inviting--got to get in that direction some day.

Oh, that view of Mt. Hood is so amazing, and loved seeing your precious grands searching for pretty flowers and Easter eggs. The view out your window of the rainbow with all the blue glass is so pretty. You have received some thoughtful little gifts, too, from some very sweet bloggers. Your portrait is so special - looks like you might have a budding artist there! I am glad that I was able to help you identify the salmon-berry flowers. Sweet blessings from the Angels.

I rarely get into the woods early enough to see it carpeting the forest floor these years, but it comes out in May here. Your hike with your granddaughters sounds like a lot of fun, and I can just imagine the happy chatter from them all. Beautiful photos of all the areas around you, and loving the pink blossoms on the line of trees. There are some magnolias in bloom here, but nothing else just yet (tree wise). Enjoy your weekend Gracie, hugs,<br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-90960418612385886432017-04-29T00:40:21.213-07:002017-04-29T00:40:21.213-07:00Hello Gracie.

I've enjoyed seeing Mount Hood, the wild flowers and the frog you saw on your walk, your beautiful garden where you have fun with the family and the cards sent from friends. The scriptures and the rainbow are uplifting. The drawing is very sweet.

I appreciate the comments you've left on my blog lately. I'm impressed and so flattered that you took the time to catch up with my posts. That was very kind of you, thank you for being interested in my and my family. I enjoyed seeing some of what you've been up to lately. I love your granddaughter's drawing! I think she has a talent and I can just see you there helping her with her reading. I'm glad you had a nice Easter with your family.

I like the way she drew your hair and the little creases in your sweater.<br /><br />What a beautifully flowery place Oregon is! The flowers are just getting started here. Last week I didn't see any wildflowers on my ride, but this week I've spotted six varieties. The trickle will soon become a flood. Spring is wonderful. :)<br /><br />Such a beautiful rainbow, and that hand-drawn card is very lovely. I hope Mt. Hood will reveal itself many more times this spring. Have you ever read the poem "Settling" by Denise Levertov? Your Mt. Hood photo reminds me of it.<br /><br />http://www.washington.edu/uwired/outreach/cspn/Website/Classroom%20Materials/Reading%20the%20Region/Northwest%20Schools%20of%20Literature/Commentary/18.html<br /><br />Happy spring, Gracie! :)Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-12334744280902751612017-04-23T16:49:05.146-07:002017-04-23T16:49:05.146-07:00Loved this post Gracie and have missed you.....you...Loved this post Gracie and have missed you.....your granddaughter certainly captured you in her drawing so lovely :) how cute was that little green frog :) here is Autumn but we are still having rather warm/hot days crazy weather lol wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663054843598008679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-90546032239461851652017-04-23T08:43:48.278-07:002017-04-23T08:43:48.278-07:00The view of Mount Hood is truly stunning.

Nice to see your neck of the woods in Oregon. Nice Fri and only a bit of rain and wind this late a.m. when Megan and I were out. I'm enjoying my blooming flowers! I like your reference to sheep and to our shepherd Jesus. So thankful for what he's done and does for us. Granddaughter's drawing is precious and memorable. Have a blessed week, my friend.

Lovely, lovely photos. It is definitely Spring here and the gardens have 'exploded' really beautiful. Today has been glorious sunshine, fabulous blue skies and warm. I just wish that life was as joyous. My mum is not too good at all and there are difficult decisions needed but at the present we are going round in circles :-( it is breaking my heart at how my mum's health has deteriorated and at what is going on. But I pray that God will guide me and the right outcomes will be reached.
