Junior Photographer

While we were at the park the other day, “K” asked if she could take my phone for a few minutes.

She said there were some really pretty things around…

and she wanted to take their pictures.

I said, “sure, just watch the battery,” and nearly forgot all about it.

That is, until I looked at all the photos that I didn’t recognize in the camera roll.

It was so much fun seeing what caught her eye, especially since we were all at the same place…

and other than the people…

I had missed all the rest.

Trust these wise kids to shine a light where the rest of us aren’t even looking.

Love Life

 

“You can be excellent in every way. You can be first class. There is no need for you to be a scrub. Respect yourself. Do not feel sorry for yourself. Do not dwell on unkind things others may say about you. Polish and refine whatever talents the Lord has given you. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, but with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life and look for its opportunities.”

~ Gordon B. Hinckley

Pretty Little Spring Garland

It all started with these pretty little flowers. I’ve used these cute things for many years. They’ve been baby hat accents. They’ve been hair clips. They’ve been key fobs.

But this time, I have bigger, better plans…

that include a bunch of green leaves…

and some colorful baby birdies.

Put them all together…

and you get

the sweetest little Spring garland that you’ve ever seen!!

Happy Spring everyone!!

May Flowers In March

Such a brave, beautiful little thing, popping up right in the middle of the lawn. I guess it’s an April-showers-bring-May-flowers sort of thing.

I just thought somebody had to plant them first.

Happily, I was wrong.

Strolling~

I took a little stroll around the back yard today. Soooo many pretty things to see…

all of which, I didn’t plant. They were here when we bought the house.

Looks as though someone put a lot of love and care into each and every plant.

I suspect, most of them have been here for a very long time.

A few of the bushes desperately need a good pruning…

while others can just go ahead and grow to the moon and back–they are just that pretty.

Trouble is–with the exception of the Hens & Chicks– I don’t know what any of them are, what they need, or how and when to prune them. I would be happy to look it up, but without knowing what they are called, I’m at a bit of a standstill.

If any of you know what plants I’m dealing with, would you let me know in the comments below?

That way, I can do some research and take care of them properly–you know, leave them alone or cut them back.

In the meantime…

The girls are very willing to help.

HAAA!
