I spy !

As usual I've been out and about with my camera trying to capture the essence of life!
Actually, I really enjoy capturing the special moments in life that connect people, and make lasting impressions. On a recent visit to be with family, my brother Cody had a new tie. Through my grandma's screen door I found my sweet husband not just tying the tie for him, but teaching him how to do it. Granted, it is a small thing, but as my brother has lost his father, it is moments like these that I am grateful for a husband who is loving, unselfish, and is truley a blessing to my family!

Dandy-Lions?

As I walk to my mailbox down the street, I cant help but to notice the hoards of seeding dandelions growing in many people's lawns. Some of them look like dandelion farms. As I walk and realize that they are all blowing and seeding into my yard, I think to myself, "dandelions aren't very dandy at all". What's so dandy about digging weeds out of your front yard with a screw driver to make sure you get the whole thing? O.k, maybe I find it just a little satisfying when I do get the whole weed, like its some kind of prize, and I showed him who is boss. But there are many things in life that I do find quite dandy. I'm thinking of the little things that we don't always realize we enjoy so much. I love warm fuzzy microfiber blankets. One can often find me wearing them wrapped around myself, like some form of clothing. Sadly, the people who see me most often, must think I live in these blankets like a little hobo. But, I love them so, and since being cold is never an option for me, I will remain a blanket hobo.
