I made a few changes in the look of my blog........guess I was bored with the same ol'-same ol'.
I think that this new look is kind of kicky and fresh, and goes with the newest quiltie picture, so that's a good thing !
Other changes........I signed up for new car insurance today. Had a little oopsy occur back in November of last year, when I accidentally backed into a parked vehicle on the parking lot of my church. Insurance paid $519., no big deal, seems to me,.........but when I got my insurance renewal invoice, they had nearly doubled my premiums ! That may be understandable to THEM, but it is not AFFORDABLE to ME !
So Geico is out, and Nationwide is in. Let's pray that there are no more incidents OR accidents ! Plus, now, I have roadside assistance, although, again, I hope I never need it !
My middle grandchild turned 7 yesterday...........Happy Birthday to Timothy Daniel, Jr. ! Wish they wouldn't grow up so fast, so far away !
I have forgotten to mention it, but I found the c.d. I had, to download Image Zone 4.0, so I'm back to using the great photo editing program that I loved ! Turns out it came with my photo printer, I think. Praise God in all things, great and small !
This is one of three beauties that bloomed together in my backyard. I forgot that I moved some bulbs, so they were a beautiful surprise to me.......and so big ! I trimmed back all of my monkey grass today as I noticed new growth in the middle. My Violets are regrowing, and already blooming, my Rhododendron bushes survived the winter and are bursting open, and my Tiger Lily is coming up. There are lots of things that I don't even recognize, but it all just gets me so excited to watch every year ! God's handiwork is just so very awesome.
My daughter and I talked gardening long-distance for an hour or more the other day, and it just makes me wish that we lived close enough to share yardwork !

“I have given skill to all the skillful, so that they may make all that I have commanded you. “ Exodus 31:6
“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20
