Shadow Shot Sunday.

My Hibiscus had one flower that bloomed and I was lucky to catch a few shadows of it. I usually don't do well with plants, but my Hibiscus is growing nicely. A proud moment in my house. Make sure you check out Hey Harriet for more shadow shots.

Fingerprint Friday

What a beautiful Fingerprint from God. A Robin. Their song is so happy in the spring.

This one, was in our apple tree and then flew to the ground. I was lucky to catch it with my camera.

There is something very peaceful listening and watching birds. What a Fingerprint they make.

I have to admit, they bring me great joy.

Be sure to check out Pampering Beki's blog for other Fingerprints from God. It makes you realize, how many things to be thankful for.

Bluets.

This is my happiest wild flower in spring..It covers many fields and we have them in our back yard. My pictures do not give them credit. They have a little blue around the edge of the flower.

They are tiny plants and look more like ground cover, but such a happy site in spring.

Ah, the beauty of God's gifts.

I have to be truthful. Since I am not a good gardener, I am very lucky to have wild flowers around.

Trip Home from Portland..

Took a few pictures to share on our way home from Portland.. Always beautiful scenery to show everyone. Again, the best things in life are free.

Shadow Shot Sunday..

Caught a few shadows around home again..The lamp shade gave a nice shadow..I like the staircase one.Tell me, doesn't it look like something out of a scary movie? The girls always use to say this home had a happy ghost around.

Took a walk outside and not much sun, but the bushes gave a little shadow.

Just want to tell you all, I worked hard to get these shadows, without cheating.

Fingerprint Friday.

As the sun was setting, it was so beautiful I am using it for Fingerprint Friday.

The changes in the sky were wonderful, as always. This is my favorite Fingerprint from God. Something about clouds/sun and the way things change from picture to picture.

Osprey Overhead.

I was late with the camera and the Osprey were very high..the water is towards town and they do enjoy a good fish meal. Sometimes, they go right over the house. This time they were circling around in the sky.
Was happy to get the pictures anyway..Always a thrill to watch them.

Wonders Never Cease

When you live in Maine..you just never know what to expect in the spring..Snow this morning.

Of course it is very light, but come on, this is spring. Gee, I wonder what Al Gore would think about this?

Little Church in Town.

Since we have no leaves on the trees yet, caught this picture of a little church in town.

We have a beautiful view here, since we sit high. Looks like it is in the woods, but the main road runs right in front of it, you just can't see it from here.

Shadow Shot Sunday.

Have a few shadows around the yard..First is our little lilac bush, just getting leaves and up against the foundation. Then front yard bush, looked pretty with house..Night light against the wall and last was reflections/but some shadows on the clap board. Each window had a reflection and couldn't resist putting it up..

Fingerprint Friday.

Homemade bread is my Fingerprint from God..There is something so wonderful about making bread and breaking bread with those you love. The Staff of Life..Will share this recipe with you all, it is one of the best I have ever made. Came from Out of Alaska's Kitchens published in 1948 by members of Crippled Children's Association..found on The Cutting Board.

Sweet Eagle Brand Bread.

I cup Eagle Brand (condensed) Milk (1 can)

3 Cups hot water

2 TBS butter

Mix together and let cool

Add 1 pack yeast to 1/2 cup warm water. Let dissolve. After dissolved add to above mix.

Plus 6 cups flour with 1TBS salt. Mix good and let rise till double in size. (about 1 hour).

Now add 6 to 7 cups more flour for kneading. Knead the dough until it is very smooth and will not stick to board (about 10 minutes)..Let rise again, until double in size. Then cut into four loaves. Put in greased loaf pans and let rise again.

Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes..I usually tell when they are done by the color. Every body's oven is different.

A different kind of Fingerprint from God, but since God broke bread with His Apostles, I thought it would be a nice Fingerprint for everyone.

Our Easter Morning Sky.

The sky for Easter was so beautiful. Here are a few pictures of it.

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter/Passover or just a great Sunday..

We had a wonderful day just being together.

That is what life is all about and so thankful we all get the message.

Happy Easter to All..

Didn't get a chance to get a shadow shot..Have been busy cooking and getting ready for girls/families to arrive..Can't wait.
Will color eggs tonight with children and just have a good time..Children will put out their Easter Baskets for the Easter Bunny to fill..what fun! Love watching them.

Anyway, may you all have a wonderful day and may the true meaning of Easter touch each and every one of us. "God so loved this world, He gave His only begotten Son"......

Fingerprint Friday/Good Friday.

For Fingerprint Friday I am using a picture of Christ..Since it is Good Friday.



To think all He taught was, to love one another, to forgive one another and to help one another.

Isn't it amazing how frightened people are of these words that they still want to silence Christians?

Something to think about this Good Friday..

Beautiful Birthday Card.

The other day the girls/families came and gave me a surprise birthday party..

My youngest son-in-law made this card..took him 51/2 hours to draw Our Lady of Perpetual Help..It will be framed of course..but wanted to share its beauty with all of you.

Now the funny part of this story..He went on line and had a bunch of Icons to pick from and he happened to pick this one to draw..When I was a young child, my mother had the most beautiful picture , like this one, hanging on our wall in the kitchen..

I use to sit and stare at the picture and think that was where I was going to Kindergarten..it always had a special place in my heart..Of all the beautiful Icons to pick, he chose this one to draw. Of course, he didn't know of my experience with this Icon.

I do not believe in coincidences..but I do believe we are always under God's care and every now and then, He lets us know it..just by a little memory, like my card..

My Prize From Meekiyua..

I won these beautiful envelopes from Meekiyua's blog give-away.

Framed them for my grandchildren and will give them when they come here for Easter.

When I got to the last grandchild, I realized I didn't have enough envelopes..But..my dear friend MaryKate from Malaysia had sent me a few things and one was a handkerchief used in weddings. So I put that in for the baby with MK's note that explained the meaning behind it. Had to turn it sideways to fit.

I know my grandchildren will be thrilled with these pictures. They are very appreciative and will love the culture behind this gift..

Thank you so much MK/Meekiyua for sharing your wonderful culture with me..Check out their blogs, they are the best.

Fingerprint Friday.

Here are a few beautiful Fingerprints from God, that I was so lucky to catch early in the morning. No matter how many times I take pictures of the sky,morning/noon/night..God's Fingerprint is there. There is no material thing that has given me this type of joy..His gift just keeps on giving. Thank you God.

My Little Friend.

The Cardinal was visiting my feeder that is hanging by the door. Couldn't get a brighter pictures of him, but he is beautiful.

Always happy to see the birds.

Spring is coming, even though the Cardinal is with us all through the winter. Makes life a bit more cheery during that time.

Always something to be thankful for, if we just look around.
