I'm baaaaack!!

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I was gone to a music teachers convention with friend J. And although I've been home for a few days this is the first time I've been able to sit down and blog. The convention was so good! I'm so glad I went! :) Here are some pictures from the time I was gone.

They bloomed!!!

The Lord sent us a wonderful rain last night and this morning I went out to look at my roses and they had bloomed!!! Look!!! Isn't the Lord good to allow my roses to bloom?! :)

Ant Larvae

The other day we lifted up part of our sidewalk in the front of the house to put dirt under it to raise it up and in the process we must have filled in some ant tunnels. A few days later I was standing outside and noticed there were lots of ants crawling around. I got down on my hands and knees to see what was up. :) They were moving their larvae around. It was so cool. Here are some pictures. (Click on the pictures to get a closer look. Sorry some of them are a little blurry.)

Girl afternoon

Thursday afternoon Leah and I went over to Katya's house to spend the afternoon with her! It was such a wonderful time!!! We sat outside and worked on homemaking notebooks, talked, drank iced tea and in the latter afternoon watched three sweet little girls (C, S and L). :) We even stayed for supper and a late night movie. :) Thanks Katya for a GREAT afternoon!

(Bottom) Colors in the quilt Katya made that we sat on. (Right) Little chest thing that Katya keeps her rubber stamps in. It's so cool!!
