Fresh from the Garden....

Hello Friends! Now that the warm weather is here...I have been a bum about my blog!! First thing in the morning I'm out on the deck having a cup of coffee and listening to the birds...next thing I know I'm off to the nursery to add a little color here, a little broad leaf there, and on and on. So by the time I come back in, I've got to get supper ready for my wonderful man! I have also begun to volunteer at our local hospital here in Marshalltown. It's been a wonderful experience, it truly has! I have met the nicest people in the last few weeks at the hospital. I'm so blessed by this opportunity to help out in my community.
As for moving, we don't yet know when or even if that will happen, we continue to pray and ask for wisdom, and clarity in the midst of confusion and turmoil. We are thanking the Lord for our joyful hearts, our health, our love for each other. We are so very, very blessed.
I will be joining your blogs this weekend!! Can't wait to see what you have been up too! I am so inspired by your words and your creativity. I have been sadly lacking a creative spirit lately. I suppose that these "dry spells" make me appreciate the moments when I am Bursting with Ideas for new and exciting projects. It will come...It will come. Love and Hugs~Blessings to you!

~Moguls in My Yard~

Attention Vancouver!! Free Moguls in Iowa!! AND....all the ice you can dream of right here in my front yard! We deliver!
Cabin fever was upon me yesterday, I had snow on the walk...I didn't care...snow on the porch...not my problem...snow on the driveway...so what! I'm tired of shoveling...
Today is a much different story. As I was getting into the shower I noticed that my batwings are diminishing. What??? My biceps actually had a "pea sized bulge." Whoo-Hoo! Shoveling tons of snow has it's own rewards! There's always a bright side isn't there? Sometimes we just have to look REAL DEEP to find it.
I don't know if you can tell from the photo or not, but we have 8-10 mini mountains of snow in the yard! AND more on the way Friday...I really need to purchase some cross-country skis to get the trash can and mail out. I tromped out to fill up the bird feeders yesterday and the snow was up to my thighs..those lucky birds...
Today promises sunshine...and a day with sunshine is always a good day.
Blessings~
