Bluebirds

There are lots of bluebirds around here. I see them in the yard every day.
There are bluebird houses in the back yard, but I hadn't seen any activity around them.
Until this morning.
The bluebirds are flying around, and I assume building nests.
A welcome sight.

He is sitting on top of the backyard building.

Surveying his kingdom...and making plans for little blue babies!
Blessings...

Count Your Blessings

I made these Blessing jars for my daughter and a friend.

Using old Ball canning jars.

Write daily blessings down on slips of paper and slip through the slot on the lid.

On a day when you are feeling "down"

open the jar and read them.

You will be amazed  at the goodness of God.

It does the soul good to count your blessings!

Have a Blessed day.

Love,

Shirley

Rain

We have been getting downpours every evening.

The flowers love it.

Inspiration

I like to take pictures, and I like to post them , on Facebook and on my blog.
This blog doesn't have a huge amount of followers,
but people from all over the world see it.
 We live in a troubled world,and we see and hear lots of bad things,things can bring the spirit down, really low.
 Many times an inspirational picture or word from above can lift some one's spirits and brighten a dark day, and cause us to look up..to the Heavens.
We have a loving Heavenly Father who uses different ways to speak to His creation.
And..His ways are right.
Have a blessed day, and keep looking up!
Love,
Shirley

Love

 It is hard to love someone who means you ill,
Yet,
love can move mountains!
God's Love covers it all.

Knockout

My Knockout roses are big as trees!

Covered with blooms.

This area is really bad for black spot, so these are the only kind we try to grow.

They mostly take care of themselves.

And bloom...and bloom...and bloom....

Shirley
