The Hope of Spring Mosiac Monday

The words didn't come today! Don't know where they are but today they did not accept my invitation. Will just offer the invitation again. In the meantime, here is my offering for Mosaic Monday.

Please visit Mary and The Little Red House. Her pictures are grand and so are the pictures of others!

Thanks be to God!

Bad Haiku Friday

It seems like weeks since I have done this. I am always challenged to do better or worse as the case may be...Here is today's offering. Please stop by Laura's house at Catholic Teacher Musings and play with her on this Bad Haiku Friday.

Silly Sam the cat
Upon my pillow he sat
Where am I to sleep?

And OH!



My head's all stuffy
My eyes watery and red
DRAT that winter cold!

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!!

First Snow

Wishing you all a warm and cozy day!

Picture Puzzle Day

Do you have time to play today? If you do please take some time to rest here and put together the puzzle. I'm offering you some quiet space in which you can play and not be expected to do anything but enjoy your time here. There are no calculations to be done here or any serious concerns to be addressed. No bookkeeping or bills to pay. Just stay and play! And when you're finished with mine, wander over to the side bar and enjoy the Winter Berries.

Backyard Spring

Please join the fun and offer us one of your pictures so we can play along. Please leave a comment and then link us to your Picture Puzzle Day. Thank you!!!!!

Sisters In Faith

I do so enjoy surprises. I had one offered me by Tracy at Catholic Mom in Minnesota. The Sisters In Faith Award is a beautiful surprise and one which I will be proud to pass along. As a recipient of this award you are asked to pass it to those who reflect the spirit of this award. This difficult part choosing the recipient. Well, there are those who I would choose but have already been chosen. Those chosen are the ones that touch my life daily, lift me up and often carry me forward and so I begin.

The instructions are as follows:
1. To pass this award on to sisters who have been blogging with me from almost the beginning.

2. Include at least one new Sister In Faith.

Those who have touched my life for lo these nearly three years are:

1. Lisa at Are We There Yet?

2. Bia at La Dolce Vita: the sweet life with three sons

3. Marcy at Blessings Each Day

4. Pia at Beyond the Horizon

5. Bernie at On My Own

6. Laura at Catholic Teacher Musings

Two New Blog Friends:

1. Queenmothermamaw

2. Eileen at Umma's World

For everyone and everything
I truly say,
"Thanks be to God!!"

I would also recommend stopping by my sidebar and doing today's puzzle. It was fun and really a lovely scene. I truly wish you all God's blessing today and everyday!
