How Fun! Vol. 20

“How fun!” I find myself exclaiming this many times throughout the week. Here are just a few things that touched me or made me smile:

I’ve been perusing Etsy quite a bit lately.  Not surprisingly, the photography shops grab my interest.  I’ve never lived on a farm, but I’m finding I am often drawn to the barnyard.  I really enjoy looking at the sweet little lamb photos in Yes and Amen’s shop.

I entered and won a give-away at Alana Taylor for the e-book Escaping Reaction/Embracing Intention by Jacey Verdicchio from The Balanced Wife.  Thank you, Alana and Jacey!  I can’t wait to read it!

Last weekend was filled with some very nice experiences.

1) Ed and I spent an afternoon with the camera and the iPad mini at one of our local county parks.  It had warmed up just enough so that we could shed our winter coats for something lighter.  We meandered through the paths and took pictures of last year’s cattails and this spring’s snow drops.  The trees are still void of leaves and we were able to watch quite a few birds.  We even saw a wild turkey!  (You might have seen him on facebook reminding everyone to eat ham for Easter.)

2) I spent Sunday afternoon at our library with other members of our community helping to map out the future direction of our library.  Apparently, they have one of these “stakeholders” meetings every five years.  My family is a huge consumer of books and the library helps us with our obsession hobby.  It was an honor and a pleasure to let them know that the library will always mean “books” to me!

This week has a new “rule” for the linkup. My good friend Dawn has a blog that has been nominated in a contest as one of the 50 best sites on Health and Fitness for 2014. Could you please help her by voting for her blog “Reveal Natural Health”  on this page?

Have a great weekend! Remember Philippians 4:8. “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

5 Blessings for your Week - Beauty Observed

Ed made this printableBlessings for the Week for us. His idea is that we can print them out and cut them into strips. There are five total for Monday through Friday. He thought we could slip one into our child’s lunch bag each day. Or, you may want to sneak one into your husband’s briefcase every morning! Ed thought this would be a good way to give our families a “week of blessings.” You could also hide them around the house. It’s interesting that you’ll often run across reminders like these just when you need them most. Coincidence? I think not. 🙂
