Good morning, Dear Ladies! 💗
I hope that you and yours had a nice weekend and that your Monday...this first Monday in May...is off to a great start! Our weekend here was great! 🍓
I worked Friday and Saturday. On Friday we discovered that we had two, brand-new, baby bison born at the park (which was really exciting!!!) and I got to spend quite a bit of time out on the prairie hiking and taking pictures.
On Saturday I worked in the nature center most of the day, but accidentally got to interact with a couple of visitors (which, for me, was also really exciting)!!! 😁 I can't wait until things open back up to the point that we can open the nature center! I really miss visiting with our visitors! 😞
Both Friday and Saturday evenings were spent at our daughter and son-in-law's visiting with family from out of town and a quiet Sunday was spent at home (other than when we ran out to grab a drink at Casey's and take a short drive).
Now...here it is...Monday morning and time to jump into a brand new week!
I didn't get up as early as I had hoped to, but, even with getting up late, my morning work is done and now I am free to sit down and visit with you for a bit. Let's get started on this week's post...shall we?
I awoke to...
Monday - Complete this post,do my weekly 'home blessing', laundry, pay some bills, clean and organize the Van Gogh room 🌟🖌🌻🎨 (a.k.a. "my office") I didn't get very far with cleaning it last week, but it has GOT to be done! I can't find anything! 😖
I haven't decided which book to read next, but am still going week-by-week through Bible Prayer by Kenneth E. Hagin (Bible Study Course)

| The boss brought me this branch of Black Locust to study. It smells really good (kind of like grape pop). I ended up nature-journaling it. |
Now...here it is...Monday morning and time to jump into a brand new week!

I awoke to...
... the bedroom curtains fluttering in the morning breeze, birds singing, and sunshine. 🌞
What I'm thinking...
... about the day and week ahead, the impending storms, my to-do list, friends and family members, and how blessed we truly are.
What I'm thankful for...
... my family, baby bison, the irises in my front yard, and God's never-ending mercy, grace, and protection.
On the breakfast plate...

... maple and brown sugar oatmeal with hot tea
The weather...
... It was sunny this morning, then thunderstorms moved in. We had thunder, lightening, and heavy rain for a short time. Right now it is 62 degrees and cloudy, but a second, more severe round of storms are expected this afternoon with chances of tornadoes. The week ahead looks cool and rainy.

Five On Friday: My Passion For Purple and a Recipe For Hummingbird Nectar
Your irises are so pretty. Wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong that mine never want to bloom. Guess they're still mad at me for moving them from one part of the yard to another. What a great turtle photo. Hope you have a wonderful week and a very happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteHow long ago did you move them, Jean? It usually takes a year or two for them to get established and really start showing off. Hope your week is going well. Happy Mother's Day! <3
