Cate-Pillar Hello

                        i loved watching this little guy move today.  so where's the butterfly?

survival of the fittest

hawk family in our trees - only the strong survive. fledglings must eat, not sure if this is mom or dad.

Gaggle

took an enjoyable ride on parkway with hubby friday evening. these little beauties were busy chatting with each other.  wonder what they had to say? i believe it is a mommy with her two babies.

Worn By Him

i love these old pair of working bibs worn by my FIL and then he passed them on to me. i was brought into remembrance of him yesterday as tasha challenged us in our writing.  she is moving me beyond where i thought i could go. write on!! right on!!

kiss

i had to post an amazing woman's blog here for anyone to read. all i can say is she made me realize just how much my heavenly Father loves me. i needed that reminder.

and oh what a treat last night - girl time with my future DIL.  she is another amazing young woman. we enjoyed breaking bread together, then walking in new town, listening to the band in the park, sitting and sharing our hearts with one another.

i am a blessed woman.
