Happy Monday!

So…some people are quite creative with their firewood, right?!?  This place is just off a busy street about 5 minutes from my house…I’ve photographed some of their other ‘work’ before {previous post here}.

Hmm…so what else is NEW?  I recently finished A Traitor’s Wife:

I really like historical fiction, and although this book seemed a little drawn-out, especially in the middle of the book, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I’ve started my next quilting project.  It will be something similar to this except in blues and whites:

NEW photos of my week and a short Sunday sermon

Happy Sunday!  You know, one of the great things about buying myself roses, is that I get to photography them while they’re fresh (previous post) and then again when they’re all dried up!

I recently visited a NEW online art exhibit, all of paintings of Christ…His childhood, His ministry and the Last Supper. This is one of my favorites by Laurie Olson Lisonbee  (Here’s the link to the gallery)

Jesus wanted the Twelve—and He wants each of us—to learn that humility and service are worthy characteristics we should seek to obtain. He taught that no one is too important to serve others.

Have a great day!

Happy Monday!

Do you recognize this little fence and gate?  It’s the same gate as my very favorite fall photo from last year…no, two years ago!  Apparently someone put the gate back on its hinges.  Artistically, I’m not sure I appreciate that! :o)

Also…speaking of hinges…I finally searched for a website that I was told had all of Jeanne P Lawler’s music on it.  Jeanne was a dear friend of our family.  She passed away a couple of years ago, but her music lives on!  {Here’s the website}  She wrote the music to the children’s song “Hinges“.  What an awesome lady she was!  I’m going to have to find the photo of her pulling up her pant legs to show off her crazy socks on our Alaskan cruise!  You’ll love it…(when I find it!)

Lastly…I had to share this reference guide for Quaker family history research at Ancestry.com.  Such good information!  I’ve got to get to work…my family history research has been lagging lately.

sunrise

Happy Sunday!

I thought this quote paired terrifically with this sunrise I captured last Sunday morning.  What good advice!  I am SO far from perfect at doing this…maybe I’d better print this out and post it somewhere very prominent – and work at it!

I also thought this series of videos ‘Patterns of Light: Discerning Light’ went well with my photo.  The videos are about how to recognize divine light and discern it from our own thoughts.   Elder Bednar is such an excellent teacher!

Happy Tuesday!

So what’s NEW???  We’re getting a NEW member of our household…she moves in soon…she’ll be 82 years old in March…and I rummaged through her kitchen to find the above treasures!!! (with my husband’s assurance that she wouldn’t mind :o)

Yes, my 82-year-old mother-in-law will be coming to live with us once she is released from the skilled nursing facility.  She fell and broke her arm and may have other issues such as heart problems etc.  So, we have lots of NEW changes going on around here!

I’m LOVING the NEW soft box kit my hubby got me for Christmas!  It made shooting these old pans and knives SO FUN!

Have a great day!  Do or Learn something NEW!

I’ll link up to Kim Klassen’s Texture Tuesday
