58/365 Bring It In

Good talk, bring it in, bring it in (what else can I do?)

Let's walk, bring it in, bring it in

Free hugs, bring it in, bring it in

57/365 Martini

 Its has been a very busy day that started with waffles for the grands this morning, followed by a 5 km walk and then the urge to clean out the pantry and move living room furniture and deep clean in there! So this tasted exceptionally good tonight. And as a bonus, as I type, he is making supper - walleye, mashed potatoes and broccoli. Can you see this big smile on my face?

53/365 Prayer and Gratitude

 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything with prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds."  Phillipians 4:6-7

Alistair Begg : "The antidote to suffocating anxiety is prayer and thanksgiving....prayer turns our focus towards God who is competent and knows our needs....'Will you take care of this for me?' and He answeres 'Yes I will. I've got this. Trust me' "

49/365 What a Champ!

Isla is wearing new sunglasses because she had her pupils dilated today.  She took all the  tests, bright lights and hanging out waiting like a champ. She has picked out her first pair of glasses which will arrive in less than 2 weeks.  And they are so darn cute!! 

48/365 Canna Lily

 Last fall grand daughter Jane and I discovered that the dead Canna Lily on my front steps had clusters of seed pods. We carefully rescued each seed and I placed them in a pot of soil in the garage. About a week ago I pulled the pot from the garage and gave it a good watering. Lo and behold within 2 days our first Canna Lily popped up. Now I am no gardener so I googled Canna Lily propagation and yes, you can plant the seeds successfully but first  "Canna seed propagation involves soaking, heating, and scarification." 

I didn't do that! And I am not about to go hunting for the black seeds and start now. I will keep them good and wet and hopefully the rest of them are as eager as this first one. I will keep you posted. 

47/365 Rose

 The rose is an amazingly beautiful creation. The smell is glorious. I am enjoying my bouquet.

44/365 Valentines Cookies
