Day One Hundred Twenty Eight 2013

Peonies are budding in my back yard.

Neighbor kitty Lily followed me around while I snapped some pics. She’s always on the go~a constant blur.

I wish we had more of these dark purple Irises. I really like that yellow stripe.

Peony bud looks like a swirly little planet. The flowers smell so good.

I have no idea what these are but I like them. They grow on a vine.

Azaleas are one of my faves, too. God sure knew what He was doing when He made flowers, didn’t He?

God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars. ~Author unknown, commonly attributed to Martin Luther
Our little pink dogwood tree is blooming this year for the first time ever.

Day One Hundred Ten

Tuesday

Our little Azalea bushes are blooming all pink and pretty. They finally got a drink of water this morning.

These look like storm clouds of Biblical proportions hanging over my back yard this afternoon, but apparently they were just showing off. The rain has moved on. Too bad. We need it.

Elijah enjoyed a good day at pre-school today. He made this Itsy Bitsy Spider that climbs up the water spout when you pull the piece of yarn. He told me the spider is his hands. He was very proud of his craft.

Shelby had a good day at school, too--once she realized the tests she had to take (we called them achievement tests when I was her age) were not really the horrifying big deal she thought it was going to be. Plus, the new fairy book set she ordered came in. I think that made her day. She and Elijah always make my day. Happy Tuesday!
