This morning on mom's bird feeder we had little boy goldfinches! They are such pretty birds. Bright yellow and oh so little. :) At one point we had three of them on the same feeder, but I didn't move fast enough to get those with the camera. But I did get these.

For dinner we went out to celebrate
Leah and E finishing school for the year! It was really fun. Then after dinner we headed to Wal-mart. I was going to buy myself a shirt that I had been eyeing for a while and one to go under it, but dad was so very generous and bought it for me! (He's so nice to me! Love you Daddy!) And he bought me an anklet. So in the past few days I have "refreshed" my closet and should be just fine for quite a while. I'm so excited!

A couple of days ago the Lord blessed us with some birds at our feeders that we hadn't seen before. They were Red-Breasted Grosbeaks. We've never had them at our feeders and it was so neat. They are such beautiful birds! :) The orange one in the left corner here is a Baltimore Oriole.

Walking around the yard the other day I took some pictures of the flowers that are starting to bloom. They are so beautiful with amazing colors and textures. :) It's great. I've been thinking a lot about how flowers seemed dead all winter and in the spring there is no doubt. It reminded me of the Christian's walk as well. Sometimes we seem dead, or not growing in our walk. But when we pray and ask God to give us a desire for Him and to draw is closer to Him, and we truly mean it and want it, He does, and we "bloom" with love and praise for Him. I just thought that was a neat thing. :) As I was thinking on these things, a previous post came to mind. Maybe you've already read it, but if you're like me, I continue to learn from things I've read hundreds of times. "I'm a tree?"

This morning Leah and I went over to the new Wal-mart to look for new sandals. :) It was great fun. We sang and listened to music on the way over and on the way home. At Wal-mart I bought a shirt, but we couldn't find any sandals that we liked so we went to Target!! There we found really neat-o sandals that matched! Very cool. :) On the way home we listened to my new C.D. (bought at Wal-mart) and chowed down on "Fruit by the foot" (also bought at Wal-mart). It was just a GREAT morning. :)

This afternoon we went out to the lake to do some "first time this year" fishing! It was really fun to just sit and enjoy the sunshine and watch Leah, E, and C (a friend who came over for the day) fish. After fishing Leah had to head off to practice, so C and I painted our toe nails. :) It was a GREAT day!
