Here Birdy-birdy-birdy

If you look verrrry closely, you’ll see our baby bird, signing her version of the word…

 

birdy.

She can’t help herself because you see–each day, more and more of our birds come back.

We can see them jostling for the seeds in the feeder.

We can watch them sitting on the deck rail all puffy feathered in the rain.

We can hear them cooing and singing us awake each morning.

 
 

And friends, we are very, very happy about it, because we’ve been waiting for a long time…

all of us.

And so Jiff is now banned to the basement until she learns better manners.

After all, we have guests.

Happy National Bird Day everyone!

Becoming

“We do not obtain our heavenly reward by punching a time clock. What is essential is that our labors in the workplace of the Lord have caused us to become something. For some of us, this requires a longer time than for others. What is important in the end is what we have become by our labors.”

Dallin H. Oaks

This moment…

A Saturday joy.
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our world.
A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment I want to savor and remember.
If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for us.
Happy Saturday friends!

For the Shop

Yes, yes–there are still snow flurries blowing around outside my window–this very minute, but nonetheless- there are hopeful moments of sun streaking through the clouds here and there as well.

Enough sun, in fact, to inspire a few “flurries” of my own–though of a considerably warmer nature.

You’ll find a few new things in the shop this week that will remind you–I hope–that spring is indeed upon us–no matter what the weatherman says!

The new “Creamies” Flapper Hat collection is shown here in toddler sizes but can quickly be made in any size you need. Just email me. And remember–these hats are made from 100% breathable cotton fibers–that means they are warm when you need warm and cool when you need cool.

And the colors…

don’t they just chant spring?
