~Sunshine & Moonshine~




Sunshine: A beautiful gift in pink and green made by my mom! Isn't she the BEST? I can't believe it is so perfectly done. No flaws, (unlike my knitting:-) just perfect. It's just as bright and beautiful as the sunshine! This is a crochet project, and she made one for us, and one for my brother Mike and his darling wife Carol. My mom always says, that she is not very creative....HELLO!! I love it. And the colors are so perfect for our home. Divine!!!.....


Moonshine: No, not the kind you were thinking!! It's morning and the full moon is still out! Is it confused I wonder?


Happy Sunday!! Hey...it's sunny here today. Still cold but the sun makes all the difference in the world.


Blessings~

My Orchids Are Blooming!!


What a Beautiful way to begin the day! I came into my dining room this morning and what do I see? My two orchids are blooming together!! These girls are several years old, maybe 7 or 8 years, and they have never, ever bloomed at the same time! What a Marvelous gift! I love orchids and I have kept them for probably 20 years now, and these two are the only ones that have ever bloomed year after year. I bought very expensive orchids at flower shops, nurseries, etc. These two....Walmart!!!! How funny!! In the spring and summer, I keep them outside underneath a balcony patio along with all of my other plant friends. I bring them in before the first frost, and look at them! Bloomin' to beat the band! I will post some pictures of them when they open, they are just a delight to have all winter long! My last flowers bloomed from December until June! It is difficult to look at the beauties and not see the Creators' handiwork. I'm so thankful for the beauty that surrounds us, for the small things, for the wonder of nature. I can't wait for you to see the flowers! Stay tuned...it won't be long now!! Blessings~
