A few of my favorite colors

More rain?

A perfect day

Is it weird that we have had ladybugs visit us, indoors, all winter? We find them just hanging out. Madison has had a few in her room. I have found a few in my room. This little guy was on the couch. I was vacuuming the window sill and there he was. Good thing he didn't get sucked up!

I am glad our bug visitors are of the cute kind :)

Enjoying the rain

I have been a bit busy lately to stop and update. My sil put a cool tree picture on her blog that she took and I decided to share the ones that I took just last Saturday. I have a collection of tree photos that I just love. I love the various shapes and sizes. I took this one of a tree in our backyard..It is a very large Oak. The original picture looked like it was in b/w because the the grey skies. I played around a bit and added a blue sky. Kind of fun.
We have been enjoying the rain as it has been soooo long since we had decent rainfall. I think I heard a statistic of maybe as long as last April. We were blessed with a few days of rain in December but it wasn't enough to make a difference.
This is what the sky really looked like:

I thought they would be pink

The camilla flowers turned out to be a beautiful shade of red. All around the yard there are signs of an early spring. Today was a beautiful day. Thank you Lord for the beauty all around us.

Today was also a very special day for two special girls in our family.

Happy Birthday to Linsey and Miss Anika!
