Raindrop

Posted in Photography

Project 365 – #099 On Friday, we were blessed with the sweet sound of raindrops on our windows.  Munchkin put on her coat and rain boots and headed outside to play. The rain cooled down the temps and cleared the air.  I so enjoy the lovely smell of spring rain.

A Place to Call Home

Project 365 – #098 That little bird has chosen his shelter. Above it are the stars and the deep heaven of worlds. Yet he is rocking himself to sleep without caring for tomorrow’s lodging, calmly clinging to his little twig, and leaving God to think for him. ~ Martin Luther ~ Leaving God to think for him.  Hmm… maybe I could learn a thing or two from the birds. We are once again blessed to have a bird’s nest in the tree next to our house.  Munchkin was rather concerned that the birds would not be there this year as…

We were pretty concerned for a time because he was not himself, and he was very ill.  We had an installer come to the house.  Puppy just sniffed him, laid down, and watched him the whole time he was there.  Definitely, not normal in the least. On a more positive note, puppy (who is actually…

Rising Temps

Project 365 – #091 I blinked and the temperatures went soaring.  It’s hard to believe it’s only April 1st when I look at the thermometer and step outside.  (And no, it’s not raining nor is there a chance of rain. I’m not sure why the thermometer does that.)  Earlier this week, we received a notice that the base pools would be opening today.  Yep, the summer temps are starting to creep in already.  The air conditioning is on full blast as I try to keep the upstairs at a comfortable temperature for sleeping. Running the ac on the 1st of…
