Sundays are usually a beautiful day and most Spring days are beautiful too.  But today we are cold and wet.  Rain with a high only in the low 50's.  

Have you ever seen such a beautiful sky?  Of course, my favorites are orange sunrise or sunset.  

A sunrise or a sunset like this can happen in just about any season in Texas, especially on the coast and reflecting in the water.  

The sun can make a cloud orange even when a storm is on the horizon too.  

God's ARTwork in the colors of the sky is always something to sing about.  

Sunday is a day to remember the past week and to give thanks for all those wonderful things we saw and all the remarkable things He did for us.  

Here we are again on Saturday Caturday!  What is up today?  We always have College Baseball or College Softball to watch on TV.  

And of course, nothing gets done or even gets started without coffee.  At least 2 cups please.  

Well, now the tables have turned.  All of us have something we NEED, don't we?  What is your vice?  

I will have to admit that food is another thing that is pretty high on my list.  At least once a day I really enjoy a good meal.  

Of course I sure do enjoy a snack too, maybe even a couple of times a day.  What is your favorite snack?  

Now that I've made us all hungry, I better go find something to eat before I go outside and watch for hummingbirds.  

Blessings and Hugs!

With friendship, Maria big hugs,

Weekend is on the way!  It has been a nice Spring week for April.  

I am checking the ads for my grocery list.  As soon as I get that done, I hope to finish the book I am reading so I can start another one.  

After all, it is so much fun to travel and get totally lost in a good book.  

Just be in the moment, right inside the book.  You have done that, haven't you?  

Sometimes you can even feel the spray of the waves when you are reading a book!  

Now if I can just figure out which book I really want to read, to dive into and get lost.

Working again!

What to do on a Thursday.  Dog days of summer, I mean spring.  Temperatures are up and down, BUT   

Every day is a new adventure.  Some days are just plain and simple.  Some days are exciting.  

More often us girls start out with a bad hair day.  Some days we can get it under control and other days it is like... who cares.  

I know we all have days that we just want to hide our head and take a nap.  Do not disturb me today.  

There are days when friends, family or spouses want to play a game of scrabble or some other nonsense game.  

Then there are the dreary days that the only thing to do is curl up in a chair with a cup of coffee and a good book.  What is your day like today and your favorite kind of day?  

But if you don't get up and get out, you might miss something important.

Not everything is in black and white.  You might miss the colors of God's painting today.  

Thank you so much for making me smile and sharing your love.  

I love giving a compliment to someone I meet or even saying something nice over the phone to someone who helped me!  

Besides, it will bless you too.  Remember, things are returned to you in double or more.  

So here is to showing up and participating this Tuesday and every day; to being kind; to loving each other.  See you tomorrow my friend.  

Most of you know I love to take pictures.  But to capture the moon like that, you need the right camera.  

Even with a phone camera, it takes the right "eye" to "see" the right angle to capture the right picture.  

I also just like looking at pictures.  I came across this one that had a caption of the name of a plant.  This is a Double Angel Trumpet.  

A lot of you might not know that plant or remember the name Cricket.  She was the first person that asked to be my friend when I joined Not Over The Hill in 2008.  The above picture is her Angel Trumpet plant in her front yard.  

While Cricket is no longer with us on earth, her Angel Trumpet plant lives on at my home just as she lives on in my heart.  She would take cuttings in the fall and root them over the winter.  She sent me a couple of cuttings and I still have one growing in a tub.  It is inside our garage today because it is cold.  It has been pulled in and out (in warmer weather) of our garage so many times over the years (hundreds) and will soon be at home in our backyard in another month when the weather stays warmer.  

Every time I spoke to Cricket with all her health trials, she would say she couldn't wait to get to Heaven and have a "Woo Hoo Party" with Jesus.  I was blessed by her friendship and I am also blessed by your friendship.  

I have said prayers like this.. wanting His blessing my way.  

And you never know who is looking over your shoulder.  It could be a dove flying by or an angel that you don't even see.  

Sometimes when things seem to go wrong, it could be that God isn't saying "no" but just "not right now".  

There are times when it is hard to have faith and not think that God isn't listening to us.  BELIEVE  

Good Morning SunShine!  I am just checking to see if the neighbors are up yet.  

You don't think they can see me, do you?  Maybe they won't recognize me.  

I guess I could just sit in the window with my human and be obvious like she is doing right now. 

Now if that isn't the truth.  Do you have a cat?  I don't!  

After all, they can be kind of scary.  Has your cat ever scared you or itself?  

Are you crazy?  Just look at that... Not scary at all, just cuteness.  Ok, all babies are cute!  

Finally, it is Friday.  I hope you have had a good week and I hope the temperatures have warmed up for you too.  

Now that Easter is past, I have moved flowers and hanging baskets out into the yard from under the makeshift greenhouse.  

Time to get out the potting soil, pots, shovels, and fertilizer and get busy.  Do you like this time of year?  

Kick your shoes off and let's go pick some Spring flowers.  I love going barefoot.  I rarely wear shoes in the house or around the yard.  

Look at how vivid the colors of the flowers are this time of year too.  It just takes my breath away!

Time to get outside and enjoy the sites, smells, and fun times.  And get that squirrel away from my computer... 

Oh wait, That is me!  

It is Thursday and the weekend is getting closer.  Let's find something fun to do today.  

Instead of sitting on a bench, let's sit here on this tree in Hawaii and visit.  

We can take a road trip in our minds.  Were you ever into the Hippie era?  I still love long hair on guys.  And boy did our parents hate it.  Kind of like we feel about a man bun now.  Sorry if you have one.  

Did you ever stop on the side of the road to eat... not at a roadside park but on the tailgate of your station wagon?  I still love those cars.  Remember the ones with the back seat facing the rear view?  

I will admit that I LOVE Mopar and the bigger the engine and the faster it goes, the more I like it.  We both still have our motorcycle endorsement on our drivers license even though neither of us own one anymore.  

Some things last forever, like Multnomah Falls.  Some things get more valuable with time, like old cars.  

Some people age well... like my girlfriend and I shopping and having a fun time together.  

Then some things just get better with time, like Robert and I.  I love him more every day.  I hope you are as blessed as I am.  

Middle of the week is here.  Let's make it awesome!  

I love giraffes, oh, you know that already.  I know everyone loves kisses.  Want one?  

How about just a peck?  The zoos are full of new babies.  It is Spring time after all.  

Did you know someone in my home likes zebras?  There are only 2 of us here.  

Ok, I will admit, that is a beautiful painting of a zebra, especially with the red background.  

They are very spectacular in the wild and with an orange (my favorite color, oh, you know that too) moon.  

Even the wind and the trees seem to like the zebras.  How about you?  What is your favorite wild animal?  

After coffee, let's take a trip outside today.  What shall we explore?  

Oh look!  Birds have laid eggs.  Babies are hatching.  "I am all alone!  I am hungry!  Where are you?"  

"Stop yelling!  I am here now.  I am working as fast as I can to feed you!"  

"How many are in there?  How can you all be hungry at the same time?"  

"I think I found a new home for us."  Have you seen any babies yet this Spring?  

Our neighbor next door has been sharing the new family of birds (eggs to hatchlings) that need a new home instead of in their security camera.  Can't wait to find out what kind of birds!  

But maybe their old home was turned into a flower pot.  Great ideas for tea pots, don't you think?  I do hope you enjoy my rants.  I love you all.  

Here we are with another new week and a new beginning.  

So let's put a smile on our face to share with everyone we meet today.  

Do I look good in this hat?  The sun might be shining sometime this week.  

Or I might wear this one if it is a dreary day when we go grocery shopping.  

Do you think this one would be good if I go to Brighton to pick up my key fob?  

I don't think it really matters how you look or what you wear as long as you show kindness, caring and love to others.  Enjoy today and every day!  

May you, your children, your grandchildren, and all your family & friends know Jesus and may we all meet one day in Heaven.  Don't forget to share Him with those you love!  

Blessings and Hugs!  Pam
