Field Day At Oldest/Son-In-Law's Home.

Our Oldest Daughter/Son-in-law have what we call  Field Day, every Labor Day weekend. They go all out for it. It is loaded with games/prizes/food/drink..Just a wonderful time to get together. Even the neighbors join in.
It thrills my husband and I just to see all the fun they have and I might say..We joined in a few games too.
They play the Olympic song and have a podium and give medals for the winners..Gold/Silver/Bronze..
You know, the simple things in life are so much fun..The kids don't need their computers/Ipods and what ever other gadgets there are..to enjoy life..but we all know what is important..Love/Respect for one another..Thank you God for the Blessing of Our Five Daughters, who in turn with their wonderful Husbands are passing down Your Blessings to our 10 grandchildren.. because they know what is important in this life.

Had to laugh, looking out on our back deck..the little angel had a friend visit. I had to move fast to catch the picture, before he flew away..Sparrows are so cute and a happy gift from God..

This picture is from EuroPic (CEN)..
  I read about this woman in China, who is now suffering from kidney failure and was so touched by her deeds on earth, I just had to share this little story with you.
She and her husband made a living recycling rubbish. Well, when picking through the rubbish she would find abandoned babies. They had saved 30 babies, while doing this job.

To me,  this woman is a saint.. What a beautiful example of the human spirit..How easy it would be to leave the little babies in the rubbish, but that would never enter her mind. Her husband had to be a wonderful man too..They had two children of their own and adopted three of the abandoned ones and found homes for the rest.
Now just think about this story..picking rubbish for a living..the money couldn't have been that plentiful..yet she had room for these children. This is a couple that was doing God's work if ever there was one.
Just a beautiful story and wanted to share it with you.

My Little Friend.

This summer is going by so fast and my blog has suffered. I have been busy with the garden and things in the house. Trying to catch up today..
Now these pictures of a Butterfly/Moth are so darn cute..Please click on the picture and see it close up.
I was shocked when I did. It looked like it was looking at me. It sat nice and still while I was taking pictures..what a wonderful gift..It gave me great joy and since I haven't been using my camera much either, a nice surprise.
Hope you all are well, will visit and I have missed you all.

Storm

 This was the lightening we had in yesterdays storm..
The first picture, I opened the door and had my arm outside..the second, you can see my camera in the glass reflection..I closed the door..the noise was making me nervous..and the rain in the third shot looked just like snow, it was so heavy.
I am not a fan of thunder/lightening..My mom use to always tell me.."God was blessing the earth."..Well, that may be so..but the time she told me that..lightening hit three homes..so I am not sure where God's blessing will go and I try and keep out of His way.
The storm did break the humid weather..Today is very cool and crisp..At least you feel human again..            

Till next time, keep looking up..

The weather has been so hot/humid..Haven't done much on the blog.  The sun looked so beautiful behind clouds. I took a  few pictures to share.
Always an interesting topic..but you all know how I enjoy the sky.

Morning Moon.

Morning moon..Thought it was so pretty.
Just happened to look outside and saw the clouds going by the moon. What a beautiful combo.


Till next time, keep looking up.

Was so happy to catch this butterfly/moth..not sure which it was. It was a beautiful site and had to work fast. It left the bush, as soon as I took the pictures.
Always thankful for seeing something a bit different and consider it another gift.

Little Hummingbird Moth

 I was lucky to catch a  picture of the Humming Bird Moth. This was not an easy job. I was going from flower to flower and I can see how this little moth got its name..It was so fast, my camera couldn't keep up with it.
If you click on the pictures, you can catch a little glimpse of it..another of God's great beauties. So happy I got a chance to share it with you all.

Farmer's Market

 Took a trip to the farmer's market..Was a beautiful spot and the view was lovely. It isn't that big of a market, but really located in a wonderful area and was worth going. All organic food. Breads/meats/mead..so it was fun to visit.
Weather has been rainy and not very interesting for picture taking..so happy to get something to write about.

Would like to dedicate this blog to all the men/woman that have given their lives for our freedom..To our many allies that stood beside our troops. May we never forget all of your sacrifices..God Bless America and God Bless Freedom.

My Little Sparrow.

This little sparrow sits every morning and sings for us. What a beautiful sound.
Some may not even pay attention, since their color is not outstanding and doesn't catch your eye..but didn't God give him a beautiful sound..Isn't that the way life is..some of us feel like nothing, but each and every one of us was given a special gift..and when you use it, it is like this little sparrow..You will sing a beautiful song..

The Beautiful Moon.

 Well, the moon was suppose to be a hit for my blog this morning. Let me say, this was the best pictures I
took and they are not great.
I went out at night, and was nervous. We have many wild animals roaming around at night, like skunks..Need I say, my hand was not steady and in the last shot, you can appreciate a woman on the move..Didn't see anything, but thought I heard something and wasn't hanging around to find out what it was..
Had a good laugh when I downloaded these pictures..I call the last one.."The finger of God."  You have to admit..it looks kind of like a finger, pointing to heaven..

Sun Setting.

 My poor blog has suffered. I was so busy before and after Easter, I didn't get to visit everyone.
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. Ours was beautiful. All our daughters/husbands/children were here..22 people counting us. A very happy time.
I had fun making the meal. I always enjoy a challenge and we even made Resurrection Rolls..they are always a big hit with everyone.
A marshmallow goes inside the dough and when baked it melts and as you open it, it looks like the empty tomb..
A few pictures of the sun setting last night..Never look at the sun. I just aimed my camera and push the button. Pretty neat, I think..

Hope to visit everyone soon..

The Beautiful Sky.

Last night was a beautiful sky..As the sun was going down, it was behind the dark clouds. Kind of in the mood for this Holy Week..but giving you hope for a new day.

A Fun Visitor.

What a surprise to see this Canada Goose in the yard.
He headed toward a neighbors house and this is the best pictures I could get.
Have never seen one here before. Many fly overhead and you hear them honking, but not on our property.
This was a first and may I say, a happy gift..
Made for a happy day..

Back Again..And Spring Is On It's Way.

As the Robins were enjoying the weather..I was enjoying watching them..Made my wish on seeing the first Robin in Spring..Then a little snow fell..
Funny how the snow doesn't bother me now, I know spring is coming..
Spring is such a happy time, everything is coming alive and to be truthful..I myself feel more alive..

Happy Leap Year..

Wishing you all the best and miss everyone..

Always something to be thankful for..
