Thursday is a wet day here. We had wonderful rain and thunderstorms all across the Dallas Fort Worth areas. The lightning show went on for a long time.
Before we know it, everything will be green and the grass will need to be mowed.
When the rain is gone and the sky is blue, hopefully the ladybugs and hummingbirds will start to show up.
Then the hills and mountains will hear the flowers singing a song of thanksgiving.
Spring is a lucky time of year when things that have been dormant begin to come alive again.
Colors pop out from everywhere and it puts smiles on faces and makes everyone happy! Share that feeling even if you have rain or snow because change is coming your way!
Good Morning Ann! How is your weather? We had such a lovely week of Spring weather. Rbt washed my car yesterday while I vacuumed the house. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
The last Saturday in February is the last day of the month. Let's say goodbye to Winter Snow Storms too!
Come sit in the shade and let's watch for the Hummingbirds to arrive. We have had a beautiful week of Spring weather in the upper 70's and very low 80's.
Every Hummingbird is beautiful and so fascinating to watch. I can hardly wait to see the first one of the year.
There are so many varieties from all over the world. And they travel so far twice a year.
I have plants that were under plastic that are already blooming and waiting for these unusual creatures.
In about 5 more days, we should have rain! Wouldn't it be neat to see these tiny Blessings from God this coming week.
It is Friday and it was a perfect morning starting at 48°.
My Christmas or Easter Cactus is blooming in between! I have 3 pots in the house.
One is Peach colored bloom, this one is yellow and the third one that did bloom a few blooms in January has white, red, and bright pink flowers with blooms just putting out again.
This Orchid is fairly new and the blooms are just gorgeous in color.
When they first put out buds, I get so excited to see what color or design it is because they only bloom about twice a year but the blooms last for months.
You can see the green plant to the far left and the pretty pink leaf plant. They both put out a bloom sinimar to a Peace Lily!
As most of you know, our son, Wayne, and his family went to Tel Aviv, Israel for a week. The company he works for, RAD, has its headquarters there.
I have over 400 pictures from them. I have loaded both my NOTH and Boomer pages with a few of them. I will attach 2 zip files in my email with these pictures. The third file in my email is videos in 2 different formats hoping both Mac & Windows users can view them.
They rode Camels & took a tour of the desert and saw the Dead Sea. They toured Jerusalem and got pictures like this, Mt. of Olives. They saw places that Jesus walked, where He was crucified, where His mother, Mary, stood to watch them crucify him, the tomb, the upper room, the wailing wall and so many other places.
They are so blessed to have seen the scenery, the architecture, the food, the history of such a different and historic land.
Just think about how long some things have been there and how many people have walked there since Jesus.
Every time I go through the pictures, I find something else. The plants are just beautiful and the beach is magnificent. The colors of the sky & sunsets are breathtaking. The average temperatures range from 45° F to 85°F or 9°C to 29°C year round. Sounds nice right now. I hope you enjoy all the pictures. As you know, I love sharing! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
It is Wednesday and I surely needed Jesus this last week. Thank you for being there for me as my friends. Reba is finding her way out the doggie door and back in, most of the time. She is still disoriented and on occasion just walks and walks and walks, and bumps into the wall or whatever is in her path. At least she is sleeping once in a while too. Thank you Jesus, she is still with us!

I know several of you have mentioned seeing your first hummingbird of the year recently.
Have you ever seen anything more magnificent? Besides a giraffe, I mean. The way it flies and that tongue. WoW!
I don't have one with a beautiful redhead like this one, but I do have some of the beautiful Ruby Throated hummingbirds. Of course it is hard to get a picture of the bright red throat except when they are in the sun and my feeders are under the edge of our patio.
I would love to take a picture of a hummingbird and a Monarch butterfly together like this. I do have both later in the year in our yard at the same time.
God really blessed someone to get this video. And He blessed me to be able to share it with you. I love converting MP4 to .gifs and I hope you enjoy them too. Blessings & Hugs! Pam
I am with you and within you, doing good things in your life. Even when you’re not aware that I am with you, the Light of My Presence keeps shining brightly on you.
When we open to signs from our loved ones who have gone before us, we awaken our spirits to the mystery and majesty of the unseen world.
SIGNS
Signs are like holy guideposts - silent messages of love.
They are beacons that light our way.
Encouragement that lifts us in our uncertainty.
They appear in the midst of ordinary days in the guise of a butterfly, a song, a cardinal, a special number, a penny, a rainbow or a mere flash that catches our eye.
How do we know it's a sign from a loved one? We feel it. We just know.
Jesus wanted them to understand that it wasn’t the time for mourning or confusion. The Messiah was alive! God’s plan of salvation had been accomplished! Death had been conquered! Centuries of prophecy and promises had been fulfilled!
We are never alone in life. That’s the message we see from Genesis to Revelation. Jesus has always been there. He appeared to Abraham and Jacob, among others. He was never far from the minds of the Old Testament prophets. And to those who are His disciples, He says, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 NLT).
This Thursday is another possible rainy day for most of our area. Yesterday, my friend east of me got twice as much as we did. My daughter NE of me got 10 times what we received. We are thankful for every drop!
With the blessings of rain come beautiful sites to see. Some things just pop up and some things bloom. So we just chillin' and going with the flow today.
After all, look at it from someone else's point of view. Everyone has a want or a need and it may be different from yours.
So share your smile with others every minute of every day. It will make your day better as well as their day.
Then the storm clouds will pass and the sunshine will show up around both of you. Blessings & Hugs! Pam
Oh so many things to be thankful for this Wednesday.
I am so thankful that I have already been in the backyard walking in the rain. I didn't go out front because I didn't want anyone to report a crazy lady.
I am grateful for Spring and all the beautiful plants and flowers that are blooming. I did finally get the pictures on my page changed from Easter to the pictures I have taken this past week in my yard.
We got a new zero turn mower, you will find that picture on my page of Rbt mowing. I haven't learned to drive it yet. I am very blessed that he already knew how to drive a skid steer and that he can mow until my driving it gets much better.
You know how much I love the birds in my yard. Yesterday as a hummingbird came to get a drink, one of the first pictures I put on my page, another one chased him away. And the Blue Birds, a male & a female, are in and out of the birdhouse on the fence a hundred times a day either building a nest or already feeding their young.
Today, let's just be grateful for everything! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
thank you for being my friend .from miss red good night . happy wed
