Morning Has Broken....

A beautiful sunrise, 
the morning after a storm.

Spring Is In The Air

  After a mild winter...  we are looking

at an early spring!

The 'girls' are appreciating the sunshine

and a chance to scratch around outside

of their pen. 

The snow bells have made their appearance,

YEAH.... spring is truly on the way!

AND... the buckets have been hung...

maple syrup will be boiling soon!

You Are My Portion

"You are my portion, O Lord."

 Psalm 119:57

"The Measure"

Let the grace of the Lord be the measure of your sufficiency;

Let the peace of the Lord be the measure of your quietness;

Let the power of the Lord be the measure of your strength;

Let the goodness of the Lord be the measure of your contentment;

Let the love of the Lord be the measure of your service;

Let the faithfulness of the Lord be the measure of your trust;

Let the beauty of the Lord be the measure of your worship;

Let the fullness of the Lord be the measure of your joy;

 Let the sovereignty of the Lord be the measure of your confidence;

Let the promises of the Lord be the measure of your expectations;

Let the coming of the Lord be the measure of hope!

It touched me when I read it, I wanted to share it with you too.

If you know... please let me know so I can give proper credit!)

A Touch of Spring

Oh, what a pretty bouquet of yellow

will do for a room!

Happiness in a vase!

A splash of spring like sunshine!

A hostess gift...

THANKS FRIENDS!

Did You Know...

that ladybugs leave foot prints?

Look, it's true!

The windows were all steamed as a result of boiling

potatoes for dinner. Audrey & I noticed these

two ladybugs walking around and marveled

at the 'foot prints' and patterns they

were leaving as they walked!

Who would think of that, besides

our amazing Creator of course!!

"And God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:25

Here's What I Get To See FIVE DAYS A WEEK!

I just wanted to share a few of the amazing things I get to see EVERY week day! As you know (or maybe you don't!) I drive children to school and home again. The kids that I drive live in rural areas and I've been blessed to see some beautiful sites! This morning I remembered to bring my camera to take a few pictures to show you! I pass by two lakes, a river, a couple of streams plus mountains and fields. Check these out:

                                                    I love the scenery...

Just another wonderful part of my job!

After all, someone has to do it.... 

An Amazing Whale Watching Adventure!

Yesterday we went on a whale watching ride! We traveled down to Rye, NH to the marina in order to go out on the ocean with Granite State Whale Watch. What a fabulous day to be out on the ocean! We passed by the lighthouse on White Island (I'm pretty sure I have that name correct) in the Isles of Shoals. We traveled out for about 2 hours which translates into approximately 25 miles. On the ride we saw a pod of around 70 white-sided dolphins swimming & jumping around and then we saw 5-6 fin whales blowing & surfacing for us!! It was incredible!!AND THEN WE SAW HIM.... a beautiful (if that is possible) humpback whale! He is known as Tigris and he was born in 1984 making him 25 years old. He was in an amazingly playful mood and he kept us all entertained for probably an hour!! He would surface & blow and dive under the boat ... bumping it a couple of times for fun, and then come up on the other side of the boat!! He was so close that we could feel the spray as he blew a couple of times!! :)
See how his fin is kinda green looking! That is because of the plankton & other food that was sooo thick in the water for the whales to eat! Here is just coming up from under the boat... He dove a couple of times and lifted his tail out of the water for us to see!! Eventually, we had to leave this amazing spot and head back to shore. We were out from 2-7:30PM and watched a gorgeous sunset!! WOW doesn't even begin to describe this trip!!

Here we are at the end of the day, just getting off the boat chilly & tired!! BUT... fully pumped! I think this will have to be the beginning of a family tradition! Defnately a trip like this should be put onto your 'Bucket List' if you have one!!
