That's what you get

Goobered up Header.  That's what you get for wanting to change your photo.  hmph

A couple Ravelry friends have been giving me some tutoring and ideas about how to fix.  I might have time Tuesday.  Until then I'll probably gripe a bit every time I log myself on!

Saturday Quiet

Day 140

I am thankful for sleeping in.  I think I must either think or say that every Saturday that I do sleep in.  I like having a day with no obligations.

The amaryllis show, a white blossom with red stripes should be open in a couple days.

I don't know why but it surprises me every year that the bright yellow buds become a soft yellow as they age.

A friend.

Day 139

I am thankful for friends and tonight for one of my church and bell ringing friends.  I forget that we are allowed to talk to each other between church times.  I'm going to try to get in the habit of calling her more often.

I think this might be Mexican Primrose but I seem to remember that being more pink.  It's pretty whatever it may be.  

It is a delight to walk out in the morning and see such beauty. 

News! News!

Day 138

I am thankful for the news that I will be in speech and language services next year rather than a resource room.  This is such a relief to me.   I am overcome with gratefulness.

I am also thankful for a surprise bouquet of roses on my patio table today.  They are from the neighbor whose roses are on my flower show page.  So beautiful!

Singing

Day 137

I am thankful for choir.  I was away for Good Friday and Easter.  We don't rehearse the week have after Easter so it's been a while.  I love singing with these people.  I love giving praise to God through song.

Iris

Day 136

I am thankful for this: 

  This iris, the roses, the wildflowers, the weeds, the endless variety and beauty, for all of these I am thankful.

Doing it Right

Day 135

I am thankful that 11 adults would take the time to attend a meeting to make sure that one 11 year old has a good transition from 5th grade to 6th grade.   I like this definition of doing our jobs.

Yesterday's wind and bluster brought snow to the local mountains again.  The ski-bees must be itching for another outing.

The wind did a bit of damage at school.  Some of the kids didn't believe that wind could do this:

Just yesterday at church I was thinking that it would be nice to get a picture of the two flagpoles that are new this year.   Then I thought to myself that we're past the type of weather that would get those flags to really show well.   Thanks to this storm:

Even though it was windy this afternoon I found a sheltered rose in a bed at church.  The roses there are as beautiful as any I've found:
