Have a blessed Lord's Day

I am going to another birthday party today, Meg. It’s my granddaughter’s today. Its a small gathering. Seems that is all I do anymore and my youngest son’s birthday is March 7, although he won’t be having a party but we may go out to eat. I am lucky to be able to enjoy these events and am very thankful.

Good Morning Mayor and Happy March!
This was a great reminder to me of where our strength comes from!! I tend to be a “ do-er”!! I need to learn to rest and trust God!! ....

The sun is shining brightly in Los Angeles, this first day of March!!

Good morning, Conor
Thank you for posting Amazing Grace and the prayer for
our troops
Have a wonderful Lord's Day.

Happy Birthday to your granddaughter Jaycee..how old is she today?

[MEG33]

Indeed you are blessed with nearby family
I know you treasure them.
Thank you for the sweet comments and ENJOY!

This is the one who was married December, 2007 and will graduate from college in May. She will be 23 years old. Her new husband says she has had to study the whole time they’ve been married...he’s a good guy! She has carried quite a load and worked too. And became a second mother to little Addyson.
She couldn’t love her own child anymore than she loves Addyson. She has always loved children and will be teaching Elementary School. I hope she gets the little kids but I don’t know much about which grades she will teach yet.

Good Morning, polly.
I pray you and your family are improving healthwise
We've gone from summer back to winter here but the sky is blue.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[pollywog]

Good MOrning dear MEG... that is one adorable Graphic! THANK YOU.
It seems like we have been out of church since Christmas!! I feel lost not getting up on Sunday and dressing for Church. We are working hard at getting better now. Your birds help immensely.

May you have a splendid month of March!!
Polly

The sweet picture of the nest in the mailbox prompted me to share a little story about nests:

When a guest enters my home, the first thing seen is an antique curio.
On each shelf, is a display of bird nests;
some are very small, other larger.
Those that don't know me well, often ask why?
What is the significance of nests?

My answer may sound silly to some, or give food for thought to others:

Nests represent so many things to me:

The preparation and building
Where every small addition is of great significance
The planning for, and care of a family,
A warm, cozy safe haven, with protection from the elements,
The beginning of life and a place for growth
A room where there is always nutritious food and nuturing care.
And above all, a home
A home filled with love.

From The Nightingale's Nest

By John Clare

How curious is the nest ; no other bird
Uses such loose materials, or weaves
Its dwelling in such spots : dead oaken leaves
Are placed without, and velvet moss within,
And little scraps of grass, and, scant and spare,
What scarcely seem materials, down and hair ;
For from men's haunts she nothing seems to win.
Yet Nature is the builder, and contrives
Homes for her children's comfort, even here ;

The poem is lovely and can be read in it's entirety, here

I sure am making a lot of mistakes lately....LOL!

Post 27 was supposed to go to Meg in answer to a question and I clicked on Polly’s post. Thats alright Polly, the conversation is for all...

Guess other things are clouding my brain this morning (and every morning). See you ladies later!

[jaycee]

Wanted to say hi to you before I take off for the afternoon. Enjoyed your story, graphic and poem, yorkie...very nice. Going to another b.day party this afternoon and just wanted to give you a yell! Have a wonderful day!

[The Mayor]

Good Morning and yes Happy March, that means spring is just around the corner.

Wonderful Daily Bread and also great message at Church this morning.

Teach me to do Your will. For You are my God!
Psalm 143;10

[MEG33]

What a beautiful post and poetry, yorkie
I love bird's nests, too. I found one here two years ago,
old but intact, while I was pruning
It is displayed among my bird collection .
Wishing you a wonderful Lord's Day.

Are you in for more snow this week? Daffodils are blooming here and tulip trees have bloomed , azaleas peeking out..and it was below feezing last night..Texas spring weather!

[Lady Jag]

Snow is falling again continuing a long winter. This two day storm could drop a foot of snow on us. Chances are algor is nowhere in the area.

A snow queen

Brilliant sunshine leaps from a newly lain blanket of fluffy popcorn snow Fierce eyes challenge me comets of snow streak across sparkling blue skies Lightning bright rows of stately porcelin melting snow on a steamy brow brilliant sunshine you are the snow queen Tony Fiona

[MEG33]

Brrr..Beautiful graphic and poetry, LadyJ
It got down into the 20s last night but by Tuesday we'll be
warm again.
Wishing you a lovely Sunday afternoon..
