Day 4 of 31 SOLSC - Sunshine





Usually we have an abundance of sunshine in the Ozarks, however, the last couple of weeks have only given us a tease of sunshine some days, other days only clouds.  I thrive on sunshine.  It is my attitude adjustment.

This morning when I was getting ready for my walk with Max, Hubby said, "Better take the camera, the SUN is shining thru the clouds".

And so, upon leaving the house, this is the miracle that God showed us

The colors were awesome - pinks, blues and purples.

Then turning to yellows and oranges.


And finally, the sunrise appeared (the picture doesn't do it justice).  It's amazing how quickly my mood lightened and all was well in my little corner of the world.  Thank you, God, for the sunshine.

P.S.:  The sun was actually out all day and the temps got in the 50's.  Can Spring be far away?

    Beautiful pictures! I love walks like that when I can just appreciate the beauty of God's creation. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm sure the pictures don't do it justice; however, we all have seen that beauty at one time or another and I can vividly see it through your words. A beautiful gift!

    I love how you say that sunshine is your attitude adjuster -- I have to agree, the sun puts me in a better mood too!

    (Hi Dad! I'm also thankful that you are always on the look out for Mom. Were you thinking this could be a possible slice?)

    Enjoy more sunshine. . . I hear we are in for more - yes, snow. But I hope spring is not too far away!

    So glad you had the camera to capture the sunrise! Absolutely gorgeous! The sun is my fuel too. I do much better when it is there.

    These photographs of the filtered sunlight are absolutely gorgeous! We lived in Little Rock, Arkansas for a couple of years and I thought the sky was unbelievable beautiful on so many days - a very different kind of light than I'm used to in Washington, DC. Thanks for sharing! May the sun continue to shine!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
