Happy Homecoming

This is a picture of my mother, Phyllis, and her sister, Lois, as young girls and best pals growing up in Duluth, Minnesota. My mother died nearly two years ago. Aunt Lois passed away just yesterday. I imagine after a warm embrace from our Lord, Aunt Lo would squeal with delight to see "Phyl"! Please click on the picture to make it bigger to better see the cute expressions on their faces. Thank you Lord Jesus for giving me this happy picture of two sisters who are now with You! Aunt Lo was 84, mom was 80 when she passed. They both had lived full lives and taught us much. They are both missed, but we look forward to a GREAT reunion some day.

"Lawn Boy"

Two days ago. It was so warm and lovely, Martin couldn't wait to fire up the old Lawn Boy. Just in the nick of time, too. Because a couple of hours later the clouds rolled in and the temperature plummeted. Spring can be fickle. Martin restrung my clothesline and I hung out my first load of laundry for the season earlier that day. Today it's raining cats and dogs and we are staying warm and cozy indoors.

Yellow Spring

This cute little house is across the street and a few doors down from us. When the yellow daffodils bloomed the other day, we finally realized these folks really like the colour yellow! Notice the heart on the front door that says, "Welcome." this cheerful house always makes me smile! Notice the yellow forsythia on the right also. It's in shadow in this picture so it doesn't look as bright as usual. I wonder if there will be other yellow flowers coming up later. We'll be watching for them.
