Somewhere in time, perhaps even as a very young child, our eye’s begin to see the beauty of nature all around us.  As adults we often get to busy to pause for the refreshment that can be seen in every flower, sunset, little critter or a child.  This Sunday let’s commit once again to “stop and smell the roses.”

Deb’s vacation pictures remind us how beautiful nature is that surrounds us each day if take time to really see.  She is sensitive to what her eyes see and  beautifully captures for all to enjoy.

Magnolia trees reminds me of the southern states where they loom large and bloom extensively filling the air with their sweet scent. (Photo courtesy of Hilton Pond)

This year we had a beautiful bloom on our own magnolia trees (below). What is blooming in your garden or in your area right now?

Beautiful, isn’t it?

Oh and look who is helping grandma “drive” the lawnmower, LOL Watch out dad, she’s already asking for her learners permit.

How true are these words from [i} Love Life. Right now in my house we are experiencing a bit of both. It is what happens with a family as large as ours. Find all kinds of beautiful and inspiring artwork by K. Barteski or read her blog which is very entertaining.

What emotion is running through your home right now? Are you embracing the moment for what it is?

Wishing everyone a wonderful Sunday to enjoy outside in the sunshine.

Hugs to everyone, Freda & Debbie

Mmmmmm, wouldn’t we all like to be here wiggling our little piggies in the sand

Happy Sunday dear friends!

Stop to smell the roses today, even if you have to go buy them yourself

Happy Sunday!

February is ending and March is near. The crocus and daffodil bulbs are peaking their little heads out of the ground. Soon, dear friends, soon we’ll see color on our landscape once more.

Happy Sunday!!!

I am thankful that God is so good and gives us such beautiful things to love and appreciate.

I am constantly awed by His sense of creativity.

All I have to do is look around to see His incredible works of art.

Happy Sunday my dear friends!
