BLUE MONDAY

I made these little guys (15 inches tall) over January while we were aaway, I like to knit while we travel, then I am a more relaxed passenger.   

I will hand them in tomorrow at our "Care and Share" group, and they will be sent to Missions without Borders, destination Eastern Europe. I make beanies and scarves too.  It is nice to have someone to knit for, as I don't need anything myself.  

I wouldn't try to knit for my family either.... I remember a lovely school jumper I made my son, and he lost it as quickly as he could, bought ones were more desirable....LOL.

Gifts of Goodness  
BJ Hoff
The landscape of a day
is never barren.... 
upon each hour is painted
gifts of goodness and God's grace.

This is the day the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it
Psalm 118:24

and Scenic Sunday
Edit: Just browsing and came across another Sunday meme.... Your Sunday Best that looks interesting too!

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS

One of the campsites on our travels.  Photo taken in late afternoon.

See the mountain in the background, that is Mt Warning, the first place on the Australian mainland to be touched by the morning sun.

DIARY OF 5 #1

I am seeing... A fine day at last... temp 26C  - 79F.... perfect!
I am hearing... mid morning sounds of life at home in a country town.
I am smelling...  breezy fresh air.
I tasted.... my new favourite dessert... homemade orange impossible pie.

 (I forgot to take a photo, pic from internet)
I am feeling..... grateful... life is so good.
