By Example!

Whether we realize it or not...

Whether we like it or not...


We all learn - and teach - by example...

Fascinated by ... Clouds

I remember - as a child - lying on the grass, watching the clouds...


The game then was - what does that cloud look like? A whale? A horse? Look again - it's changing!


I still love to watch the clouds - often through the window... (No bugs crawling on my back!)


But now, after years of taking art classes, I pay more attention to the colours.

Could I paint that?! Sometimes I try...


The passing show of clouds and light reminds me that God is an amazing artist! The colours are always PERFECT!

After my sky-gazing light show ends, I feel refreshed, renewed. (And my blood pressure has gently gone down!)

Cloud gazing - nature's medicine!

Easter Bunny PLUS...

On Easter Monday, I took some craft supplies over to my grandchildren's house... Could we have fun making something?!


The felt squares were versatile. Thanks to a handy glue gun, a pen and scissors, my grandson created an Easter elf... !!!


A friend for the Easter bunny!

Rude? Or Just Too Relaxed?!

I can't believe it! (But I guess the pictures prove it!)



Terry and I recently had Sunday brunch at our son's house...



The food was delicious... We ate too much...



So I took a nap with the cat - while Terry and our son watched sports on TV... (Or at least I THOUGHT they were watching sports!)

I see Terry dozed off, too!

(You can't take us anywhere!)

March Phenology Calendar

March 2026 - for me was a month of WAITING...


Waiting for Easter, as I moved through the 40 days of Lent...

Waiting for MORE Hours of  DAYLIGHT - and MORE WARM WEATHER.


Squirrels appear here and there on my calendar - and there was one early morning rabbit spotting. But no green buds appeared on trees.


Hopefully they'll appear on April's blank page!

Happy Easter! Have a Beautiful Day!

Today is Easter Sunday...


May you have a joyful and peaceful day...  Enjoy our beautiful world... and the people around you!

Here in Ottawa I'm hoping for NO rain! 

But if it does rain, I'll remind myself that "April showers bring May flowers"!

Easy Easter Craft

At Easter - baby chicks, bunnies and chocolate eggs tend to dominate the decorative food scene. 

But for someone looking for a simple food decoration that connects to the original Easter story, here's an easy idea... an open tomb with the stone rolled away...

 

Ingredients found at a nearby doughnut shop!

Love it!
