Cool birds

I love that these guys (and girl) live in my pond:)

Clear night delight

Have you ever seen Jupiter and Venus through a telescope in your back yard? I have. And it was awesome. Especially with red mars blinking a fond hello over my shoulder. Four planets in one night...and I think to myself, what wonderful worlds...:)

Mother nature

I felt like mother nature this weekend, waking up my sleeping babies in the garden, pulling back the thick blanket of leaves to let the bright sun warm their little faces. Can't wait to watch them grow:)

A very good week:)

I have so much to be thankful for this week. The most wonderful of which is that I have gone 12 full days with no pain whatsoever! A true miracle. Praise God! I feel a springtime of good health booming in me right alongside my lovely garden, and I am so very grateful for the thaw. I also finished a script that is near to my heart and has reinvigorated me and my writing. And as I mentioned, I got a book agent...now I just have to finish my novel:) And MY HUBBY GOT A JOB!!! WOOHOO!!!!!

Skittles

I wonder if the inventor of Skittles (a rainbow of flavor:) had a prism in his office like I do? The mini-rainbows fill me with such delight when they "skittle" across my desk!

That Girl

I've been watching THAT GIRL every night on MeTV and her enthusiasm is contagious...I can't help but smile:) And when I went into the city this week, (and landed an awesome book agent!) I felt like I was That Girl:)

Urban Art

There's beauty all around if you just keep your eyes open and catch it before it speeds by...

The first flowers of the year:)

Spring forward

I'm thankful for Daylight Savings time giving me another hour of sunlight to enjoy...I love the sunset at 7:) Of course, I'm lucky that I didn't have to wake up an hour early!
