The Grass Grooed

While visiting me this morning my eldest grand girl and I had the following exchange:
GG. The grass grooed!!!
G'MA. The grass grew or the grass has grown.
GG. The grass groon!!
G'MA. The grass grew.
GG. The grass grooed!!!

 But she was concerned because the flower seeds haven't grooed, yet.

 However the sunshine streaming through my window soon distracted her from her gardening and  inspired her to set up another picnic. This time sailor dolly, a bear and a bunny rabbit came along with a sand shovel and pail.

 I know the cross was created by the light pouring around our wooden window panes, but I was startled none-the-less to be reminded once more of the amazing ways I believe God reaches out to me through Christ  to draw me into loving relationship with Himself and others.

 Even Lavendar Lambiekins who was carelessly tossed on the bed this morning, seems to be looking to the Light,

reminding me that I need to do that every day,  no matter what the season,  to be lovingly grooed just as surely as the grass is groon.

Pleasant Pastimes

The other day I snapped a photo of Shelby Dog enjoying a patch of sunshine .

When she realized I was taking her picture she began to pose.

First a grin . . .

then a spectacular smile!!!

This morning I woke to find another flurry of snow

had briefly stopped

to visit on its way to Mt. Hood .

So I crocheted a new cup cozy

with some of the *designer* yarn I spun at the two

spinning workshops I attended several weeks ago.

Then I made a cup of coffee with vanilla almond milk

and began to plan what to share with you today

and wonder . . .

how you spent  2 . 29 . 2012 ?

Half a Sunny Day

The sun beckoned me to capture it's light on the front pond this morning

on my way out the driveway .

Then on the way home it lured me to stop to try to capture it's glow

on Mt. Hood .

The clouds have rolled back in , but half a day of sun

was fun , as I look forward to this weekend

and good time with family and friends .

Have you special plans?

What is under the sun?

We are!  Yes!!  In Portland, OR!!!

While I have been side-tracked from swimming, spinning fiber, or attending church

this last week, I have been basking in winter sunshine as I have

driven back and forth to the doctors three times.

Mt. Hood has been outstanding!

I feel so blessed to see such beauty and want to get better at taking photos

so that I can better share such beauty with you, too.

The medicine prescribed for me,

and your good thoughts and prayers for me

are cheering me on toward the healing

of an infection in my right arm.

Thank you family, friends/blogging friends Teresa Kasner, Anne, JoAnn, Alexis,

and Breezy for your encouragement!

I hope you have happy creative days under the sun this weekend!
