Here Comes the Sun...

I'm off to the beach for a little warmer weather but especially to visit with my Mom and my dear friends from New York!

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

by Robert Frost (1923)


Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
~~~
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
~~~
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
~~~
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Worship is a life....

A. W. Tozer once said,
"If you will not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him one day a week"
(THE TOZER PULPIT, 1:52).

The Hills are Alive....

with the sound of music, ah, chirping......






These pictures do not adequately capture the moment. Hundreds of these birds were pecking around in my yard yesterday. It looked as if the grass was moving and singing....
I made more bird treats.

The Day of Sienna

We started out baking homemade Chocolate Ginger cookies.

Then, we made treats for the birds.....

which we hung outside for our feathered friends ....


We ate Sienna's favorite dinner, Steak and French Fries...Delish! Then off to watch the boys' basketball game and we got to see my other sweet niece, Jaden. They adore each other.


By now it was getting late, so we settled in, got our PJ's on, popped some buttery popcorn, painted our nails and watched a movie.We even jammed a while...

After a full day, we snuggled togetherbefore bed and read another episodes in Elsie's life...

On Sunday, Sienna & Jaden were both in my Sunday school class and we worshipped together.

We finished off the weekend with birthday cake for my dear mother-in-law, then home.
It was a great time and I hope to have another soon. First, its Silas' turn for A Weekend Vist. Don't worry, you're next little buddy!

The following day I watched the bird feeders to see who came by........It worked, they have been a big hit.

Mr. Chickadee is enjoying the treat immensely. He stops by with Mrs. Chickadee every afternoon. They stay as long as possible until Mrs. Mockingbird swoops down on them to get her share.
