Spring Morning

This is what it looks like as I look out my windows this morning. It looks so dismal, dull and depressing but if I close my eyes and listen I can hear Robins, Chickadees, a Cardinal and the neighborhood doves all talking together. These are my gentle reminders that we have to go through the "yucky" stuff to get to the good stuff.

  

Then I look at this picture of the remnants of the bouquet of Tulips from my Tea Party and I know  Spring is not to far away.

I was outside in my gardens yesterday starting to do the Spring Cleaning that is necessary. During the process of doing this I came across a caterpillar. A beautiful Black and Brown one. That seems a little early but that is okay just another reminder of the beautiful seasons ahead. I also started taking some of my wicker chairs out to set on my back step. Oh I can hardly wait.

I was so daring that I even took my bowl of Cheerios outside this morning and ate my breakfast partially out there. Still just a little too cool to do that but I am so ready for it.

The changes in the season also gets me so inspired to get sewing as well.

Here are some pictures of some Easter Tea Towels that I am making for my Etsy Site.

This set is yellow and still needs to be decorated.

These are a set of two different green ones that I have added the eyes and tails to.

These are the two towels finished and the picture below is a close up of the Easter Eggs the Bunnies are hopping over. These Tea Towels are already sold but I have more on my Etsy Site.

Amazing Tuesdays

Today was an amazing day for me. I received some comments from readers today that made me feel like a very privileged person. Sometimes we go through life thinking that what we do or say won't and doesn't matter to anyone else. Lately I have realized that it is important what I do. I can be goofy and silly and that is ok too.
We only go through this life once and one chance is all that we get. It is not about how special or how great we can be but how we live it this first time and only time around.
GOD gives each and everyone of us gifts that we are to use to the best of our abilities and to His Glory. But sometimes we don't realize what those gifts are and they are lost in the shuffle of everyday life. When you feel that "warm and fuzzy feeling" within yourself, as you are doing something that makes somebody else feel better, live better or even just smile a bigger, brighter smile, realize that maybe, just maybe that might be the Gift that God has given you.
Love it and examine it. See if it happens again, the next time and know that you have found it.
To all of my new followers, Thank you ever so much for all of your wonderful comments.
If you promise to keep following me and commenting, I promise I will try to keep this Blog as interesting as I can.
The following Bible Verse feels so appropriate to me.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity,
but a spirit of power,
of love and of self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7
