Easter food for thought...

As different people do different activities on this day, my mind and heart went here:

We are a people who believe in nothing or something. Humanity can choose

devotion to one God or many Gods or no God.

Yet...

the God I am devoted to is the most loyal, loving God I know. How?

He is the only God who ever endured humiliation, betrayal, mocking 

and beating to demonstrate that we are THAT important

to him. Love's a sacrifice and he did that because he wants us to be with him-forever

HAPPY EASTER!

Today is my birthday, It's almost summer and what I liked least about school.

Yep, today is my 38th birthday. Not an exciting number, huh? Since it is I guess, my day I should probably get to write whatever I want, right?


Well, it just so happens that today is Mama Kat's writing workshop where ya link up and share. So my birthday actually ties into two of the prompts!! Woo-hoo for me!!! Okay, I was probably the only person expressing that sentiment.

Prompt #4: Technically, May is still spring in my neck of the woods, and so here is a picture that I think captures spring for our family. We should be in an Eddie Bauer catalog right?

 I had to share the above as one of many outtakes from our sweet boys we are so grateful for. They can be such turkeys.


Prompt #5
   I don't miss school much at all, but the one thing I miss the least about school is not getting to celebrate my birthday like everyone else. Back when I was in school, the last day was always the 21st or 22nd or about a week before Memorial Day. My day is today, the 24th. So I never got to have cake or treats or hear others sing the special song on my special day. Sure, the teacher was nice enough to include all of us misfit "summer" birthdays the last day of school, but it just didn't feel the same. 

Am I over it now? Of course. And turns out, once I hit middle school I loved that my birthday was after the last day of school because it meant it was summer and what a way to kick off the best time in a young person's life.


Before I go, I have to share this last picture of my one of my most memorable birthdays...a cake made with so much painstaking love that it makes me tear up. I have a wonderful hubby.

 I have been known to occasionally and naturally laugh like Scooby-Doo. I was turning 29 I believe in this photo.

My Fairy Garden...(in pictures mainly)

By popular requests...I am showing the beginning of my Fairy Garden...I am still looking for some miniature plants that do well with less sun. Other than that, the garden is pretty complete.  In the pictures below, you will find four fairies...some are hidden and some are sitting in the garden, garden tools, frogs, a bird bath and bird feeder. There is a gate as well as some rocks hubby and I've collected over the years in our hiking and other adventures.

Large view of garden.

Notice the watering can and other essential tools?

CAN YOU FIND THE HIDDEN FAIRIES...LOOK CLOSELY.

Here are two more views of the garden...

So picture a little more green where there is dirt and the fairies will be happy since they have Bleeding hearts for hats and a place to rest.

Happy Spring!
