Day Three Hundred Forty One 2012

“May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow. May the soft winds freshen your spirit. May the sunshine brighten your heart. May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you, and may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.”
~Irish Blessing
(And may your runny nose have a short life in this cold and flu season. I’m just saying.)

TGIF Snapshots And Sounds From My Front Porch

You'll probably have to scroll down to the bottom to mute or stop the songs playing from Playlist.com to hear the sounds on this short video. It was a beautiful day to be sitting outside on the front porch, listening to the wind play the wind chimes and blow through the trees. Peaceful. Happy TGIF, everyone!

Day One Hundred Forty Five 2011

I took a few minutes to enjoy the sunshine and mild breezes this afternoon. And I always enjoy the colorful view from my front porch swing. Old Glory was flying today.

It was also a great day for wind chimes. Daughter Kelly gave these to me for Mother's Day, and I finally got them on a hook. Love the music they make. I kept expecting the ice cream truck to roll down the street. Sweet!

Day Three Hundred Seven 2010

Wet Wednesday

There was no sun for my sun catcher wind chimes to catch today. (I took this picture through the glass window on my front door and got a double exposure effect.)

Raindrops decorate the berries on the hawthorn tree.

The colors on the leaves really stand out when they're wet. A soggy chilly day all around, with a blast of cold air on its way by tomorrow. Happy Middle Of The Week, Everyone!

Sunday Afternoon Picture Postcards From Kay's Cell Phone Camera

Day Fifty Two

Sunday Randomness

Sarah's love affair with mustaches continues. She tried this one on for size tonight after church before she dashed off to the youth group devo. I like it.

Today was just crazy beautiful--the temps in the sixties and the sun so brilliant it was blinding--so Neil and I went for a walk around the block. Along the way, I picked up this pretty blue piece of glass and a piece of salt left over from the snow days and put them in my shirt pocket. When we got back to the house, I took my found objects out of my pocket and found another object I didn't know was there--a fortune from a fortune cookie no less. Since my shiny found objects made me happy I figured I'd share my found happiness with you and full fill my fortune for today.

My sister Jane and family gave me these pretty wind chimes for my birthday a few weeks ago. I finally got to hang them on the front porch today beside the swing. They make a peaceful sound when the wind blows and of course the sunny sun catcher is yummy eye candy. Thanks, Foys!

Took this picture with my cell phone camera of a neighbor's tree on our walk around the block. I like the colors in that heavenly sunlight. Totally enjoyed this rare warm and sunny February day today. Hope you did, too.
