{Weekend in Bloom!}

Whew! After a weekend full of fun with these girls.....and buggies that looked like this....
I have ended up with THIS mess because I'm so tired I can't even bring myself to even start to THINK about cleaning it up:) So...let me share the treasures amongst this mountain of messiness:)

This weeks Goodwill Clearance center trip was so fun!!! I got 37 items for $9 making each thing just 24 cent:)

I got these new bags for Spring...
...three cute belts...
...and lots of shirts but these were my favorites:)
Especially this vintage Wrangler Demin Jacket!
But as much as I love my new jacket, it doesn't COMPARE to all the beautiful signs of Spring popping up everywhere!Dandelions (which I love and don't count as weeds:) I have my neighbor to do that for me. She likes to come over and break them off so they don't spread into her yard:) More power to that sweet lady!

Then there are blooming bushes...
...lots of PINK:)...
...pin wheels spinning in the March wind......even flowers on the inside, too!
After the past few weeks, all this new life is precious to see and I'm enjoying taking in all God's glory through His beautiful creations:) You're one of those too----ya know?!

“Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad, let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy; they will sing before the Lord.” Psalm 96:11-13

{Walk this Way}

One of my favorite things about where we live is that our house is situated on a road that has VERY little traffic yet we are just minutes away from the "main street", mall, restaurants and grocery stores. I guess it kinda satisfies my love of big cities. Although I can't walk outside, buy flowers, pick up a paper, and hail a cab like most city folks can, I can make the best of what I've got. And I have a sneaky suspicion that after a few routine days of urban life, I'd be begging to have my little house in this little town back:) But it's fun to pretend....

One way we do that is by taking walks to the nearest grocery store. It's fun to carry your own reusable bag (ashamedly, I forgot to grab one this time) , fill it up, and walk home. So much more enjoyable than going in the car. Trav and I get a chance to talk and spend quality time together and we all get exercise. And that sweet Golden Retriever needs all the exercise she can get because she will eat ANYTHING that doesn't eat her first! This trip, all we needed was a loaf of whole wheat bread so Trav waited outside with Glory while I went in for the goods.
A few minutes later, we were headed back home, groceries in tow:) I'll reuse the plastic bag and try to remember my own next time.
We made it home just as the sun went down. It was one of those wonderful kind of nights:) I think I'll keep my little house in a little town---and just keep pretending...

Love,
Laura
