Of Plants And People

I've been thinking about plants lately, and the life lessons hidden in them.
How eager we are when we begin, we vision the product, the healthy full fruitful plant.
That vision can make us impatient and maybe even do harsh things like over water and drown our little plant. Giving it too much that it cannot adsorb.
But our motive is hope.
And the days crawl by, especially the days when seeds are still underground and we cannot see at all if there is progress.
Until.. one day, a tiny green pops out, and we are thrilled. But we still have to be patient.
The sun must do it's work, the roots must stretch down and that takes time.
So we should celebrate every new bit of growth and be joyfully satisfied in it.
And sometimes move a few leaves to find surprises underneath we did not take the time to see before.
Because, with patience, care and faith in that which we cannot even provide...

We just might be surprised with how far they have come.



And more than anything, make sure to appreciate their simple beauty and appreciate the time they took this journey with you.

Caed and Riley's Birthday Party Pics

Honestly, we did not take many pictures..we were too busy trying to stay warm!

As ordered, very blue cupcakes!


Somehow, the candles managed to burn in the wind enough to be blown out.
Picking your cupcake is serious business!
Lego smiles..

Emma is only there for the sweets...:)

OH, and teenagers DON'T like their pictures taken .... lol

Our Anniversary Away Pics







I'm finally getting these up. We had a wonderful time.We took lots of pics at sunset on the coast. So nice to live so close to the sea.



















We visited a favorite haunt of mine that I would go with my mom and a special lady named Alyce when I was a teen. The back garden is so small but so lovely. I think this shop inspired me to start my many ideas for the Creative SAHM adventure too. The shop has soaps, potpourri, cards, gifts and I've always loved it.




Rick is standing in the Alice Garden. There is a strong Alice In Wonderland theme in the garden.







We were the only two in the garden so there was no way to get a pic together.
This Bench really inpired me to start working with old wood scraps. I vision it with holes for clay opts "sitting" in the bench.
Well, that's it, that's all the pics we have.
It was a great get away, simple and sweet.
