Not quite Wordless Wednesday—and a small request

Happy Wednesday, friends!

I have two things to share with you today. First, I feel lucky to have witnessed this gorgeous sky recently. Isn't it a beautiful shade of blue? I'd love to paint it. Skies like this make me happy and remind me that, in spite of all the bad, there is still a lot of good in this world.☺

 



The second thing I want to share is about my husband. On Monday, he got some not-so-great medical news, and we're still trying to decide on our next step. I don't want to go into too much detail right now, but I can say that I (and I'm sure my husband as well) would appreciate any good thoughts and prayers you can send his way. Thanks.

Wishing you all a peaceful and beautiful Wednesday. ☺

Happy Wednesday, friends!

 

Look what I found in my front yard yesterday afternoon. Spring is really here!

Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday. ☺

Okay, I have to say a few words. ☺

 

My kindergartner son painted this picture in art class, and I'm proud to say it was one of the works chosen to be featured at a schoolwide art exhibit last week. People keep telling me I have an artist on my hands. I think so, too—but he certainly didn't get it from me!

Wishing you all a beautiful—and colorful!—Wednesday. ☺

Could this mean spring is here?

We had a little snow here last week, and these are just some of the perfect snowflakes that fell on my son's hat as we waited for the school bus. It's true: each one really is unique—and beautiful in all its detail!

 

Wishing you a joyous Wednesday. ☺

A little taste of spring...

Okay, I can't resist a few words... ☺

A couple of weeks ago in Sunday School, my three-year-old daughter planted grass seeds in this little cup. She added a flower made out of a Popsicle stick and a mini cupcake liner, and then made the sun that's hanging in the background out of a clear plastic plate. About a week ago, the grass started to grow, and now, even though there's still snow outside, I feel like I have my own little bit of spring right here in my kitchen.

Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday. ☺

Wordless Wednesday

"I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted, they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!"

~John Muir

Wordless Wednesday

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."

~John Muir

Snowcapped mountain or crafty clouds?

Look who's coming to dinner!
 

 

I found these two well-dressed rodents sitting on a kitchen chair, presumably waiting for a meal. I'm guessing my three-year-old invited them...

 

Have a great Wednesday!

Mornings like this take my breath away.

Happy Wednesday!

I saw these signs recently in two locations of a well-known chain of mid-range to upscale U.S. department stores. I couldn't resist taking pictures.

Oops.

Oops, they did it again.

Have a happy day!
