Mosaic Monday/Macro Monday

The colors green, pink

Come in different shades, textures

Nature's wonderful!

When the sun shines bright

The luster of the colors

Beautifully come through.

Thanks be to God!

Now please visit Mary at The Little Red House and share in the beauty offered there.   Lisa at  Macro Monday  also has much to offer.  The pictures are grand.

~~Tea Talk~~

Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors.

Alice Walker

I'm having...Vanilla Carmel tea by Bigelow.

My teacup...my bright and cheery mug. So early I need a bit of color to waken properly.

I'm feeling...a tad tired. Last night seemed a bit short.

On my mind...is the patio area. It's needing some cleaning before we set out the patio furniture. But we're to have more rain starting this afternoon.

The flood waters are finally receding here on the Ohio River,

Thanks be to God!

Now won't you join me and visit Ruth at Celebrate Friendship is hosting Tea Talk at her house?  Share a cup of tea or a cool refreshing drink with us.

From Cocoon to Butterfly

Yesterday found Miss Ainsley in her nice warm cocoon!  Secure in her warm blanket she sharing sister's room as she does when Grandpa and Grandma come to visit.  Her day would be one of evolution, excitement and transformation.  It was a terrific ride.  Ainsley made her first Holy Communion yesterday.

It was so much fun watching her get her hair done.  From beginning to end it was a real metamorphosis?  Truly from Cocoon to Butterfly

Butterflies are always beautiful and this one is no different.

Only a glimpse of the moon through the clouds.  Except for 2 or 3 days here and there the last three weeks rain has been our constant companion.  Last year was drought.  This year flooding.  I know know why I am so grumpy, sad, and mournful.  Sunshine lifts the spirits and feeds us.  Yes, my Vitamin D level is diminished.  So everyday I remind myself,  "This is the day the Lord has made...Rejoice and be glad, you silly girl!"  And so today I will try again!

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
