April is Poetry month

Wils has been studying the poetry form of "Diamond"
We will add family members' and other creations. Here is my attempt:

Ocean
dark, cold
rolling, billowing, crashing
flowers, creatures, sand, crevices
burning, stinging, drying
light, hot
Desert

How would you spend the last bit of your grocery money?

Today, the answer to that question is: on a bunch of roses. It has been a dreary of a winter, but in the last couple of days the weather has warmed up and as the grocery store managers know these facts, they have placed all of the cut tulips and roses and spring flowers right in the middle of the main aisle. Thus, I counted my "klein Geld" and made do so as to bring some spring colour into the house! Ahh! Spring, always just around the corner until you are actually upon us in full bloom!

Nature at Her best!

This is what Wils and I were greeted with this frosty morning, March 18, 2009. I have rarely seen anything so beautiful as what met our eyes. Enjoy God's gift to us.

I wish I could have the music of the Frost Fairies from Fantasia playing for you.
