Mosaic Monday/Macro Monday

Easter Eggs, Kitty Cats and Puppy Dogs.

It was a grand weekend before the rains came on Easter Sunday.  In all 18 eggs I only had one crack during boiling.  A miracle!!!  Sam found he was out of the way while napping on the piano.  And just look at Duchess as she stays for her treat!  Yes, indeed, it was a good day!

After the hail and rain...this glorious blossom appeared. 

WHEN the sun comes after rain
And the bird is in the blue,
The girls go down the lane
Two by two.

When the sun comes after shadow
And the singing of the showers,
The girls go up the meadow,
Fair as flowers.

When the eve comes dusky red
And the moon succeeds the sun,
The girls go home to bed
One by one.

And when life draws to its even
And the day of man is past,
They shall all go home to heaven,
Home at last.
by Robert Louis Stevenson

~~Mosaic/Macro Monday~~

Hope filled

Waiting in prayer

Filled with expectation

Knowing all is fulfilled in Him

Jesus

Surprises happen

Without any plans at all

Colors bring me joy!

I love Santa, that glorious symbol of good, love, compassion, giving and sharing.  I don't have large collection and at my age one needs no more, but the ones I have I cherish as they are reminders of the time when all were here to share in the glories of this Holy Season.

One Santa is my favorite.  More like a china doll

he has wonderful features and seems so lifelike.

If you would be kind enough to stop by Tamara's to offer your reason for thanks at Branch of Wisdom. She is hosting A Month of Thanksgiving I'm sure you will find some delightful and wonderful words of wisdom, praise and gratitude.

~~Mosaic/Macro Monday~~And Month of Thanksgiving~~

These plump little berries are on a bush that grows like a weed under out bedroom window.   Every spring we prune it back and whether drought or torrential rain it continues to blossom and  flourish.  But you know...I have no idea what this shrub is called.  It was here when we arrived and it will no doubt be here when we are gone.  Perhaps someone out there can put a name on our dear friend.

Finally, my reason for giving thanks...Answered prayers!!!!
