Candid Moments~ Blossom's

Blossom's

Some of the Spring beauty 
Of the magnolia blossom's
Beads of raindrops
Kissing each petal
With the promise 
Of the gray skies
Turning to Spring sunlight

Layered in magnolia blossom's
Each step kissed with
Scattered petals of pink
Dressing the landscape with
The beauty of Spring

With rain drop kisses
Each petal 
Creased in a water pearl
Bringing new life
As Spring
Burst forth

Today I started my new schedule at the beauty shop.

I will be working on Wednesdays instead of Fridays.

Though for the next two weeks I will be working on Fridays as we all adjust to the new day.

Praying the Lord bless this new work schedule and day.

It was quiet today.

But am looking forward to what the future holds.

It has bee a rather rainy gloomy day here in the PNW.

Seems it is here to stay with us for the next ten days...or...longer.

Thank you for coming by and saying hello!
Please leave a comment.

Blessings

What is your most favorite blooming tree?

Candid Moments~ Painted Sky

Painted Sky

March 25,2014

Coming home from Vancouver this evening crossing the Glen Jackson freeway coming back to Portland was this stunning rainbow. 

Sadly driving 75miles an hour is hard to get a great photo of the rainbow. 

It truly was much prettier than what you see in this photo.

The sky this evening was amazing once again.

The painted sky lately has been breathe taking.

March 25,2014

 After getting home I was greeted with yet more beautiful sites in the evening sky once again.

I had to drop everything i had to snap this photo.

I love the color and formations of the clouds.

The light breaking through the storm.

Much like how God breaks through our storms.

His perfect promise and the breaking of the storm bringing His perfect peace and calm.

Ready for the day and what lays ahead.

It was a quiet day at the beauty shop had one client today.

So headed home and then unloaded the car.

Then headed to the movies with a couple of girlfriends.

We did the movie scene today in two different theater houses.

First show we saw was "Divergent" It was excellent and much different than what I thought.

Second movie was "God's Not Dead" Super excellent.

They got the message across so well.

Truly enjoyed my day of movies.

Now this day is coming to a close and tomorrow is a new day.

Thank you for coming by and saying hello.

Please leave a note.

Blessings

Do you enjoy going to the movie house or wait till they come out?

March 25~ Your Favorite mug/and drink

My morning coffee is my favorite drink by far.

Then i also have to have my morning mix of coconut oil, honey, lemon, and cinnamon.

~Revelations 21:4
Dear Savior, help me to grow in your grace.....even when the tears are falling!

Day 25

A gift sung, written, painted

The gift sung would be all the wonderful music and songs sung in "God's Not Dead" movie! EXCELLENT!!!

Written would be the letter from the Circuit Court today dismissing my case and clearing my name. Yea! I don't have to go to court! I have the letter from the Judge himself! God is good!

Painted would be the beautiful sky tonight with the rainbow and the clouds...Amazing beauty lacing the sky this evening!

Candid Moments~ Signs of Life

Signs Of New Life

The afternoon sunshine and beauty of the daffodils.

Brings smiles and hope of new beginnings.

A canopy of blooms

Arching the yard with fragrant beauty

Tiny little luster's of pearl beads

Draping the boarders of the complex

Bursting with life each limb

Sways in the dance of Spring

Covered in rich beauty

In the gray of the day 
The red sunburst of Spring
Paints a pink beauty drop
As the sun breaks through the gray clouds
Through the limbs of red

One single bud

Brings birth and new life

As Spring comes alive

With each bursting bud

It has been a very full week and weekend.

With another full week ahead.

It seems the days are getting away from me.

Spring has sprung and with it my life is getting busier with each new day.

Full week of work then off to a business Conference with Mary Kay.

It is so wonderful to be associated with such a wonderful company and women.

I'm so grateful to be able to have the life I have and to share it with you all.

Thank  you for stopping by and saying hi!
Please leave a comment as I love hearing from you all.

Does your life seem to get busier as the seasons change?

March 24~ Toys

Toys are hard to find in my house these days. 

With daughters grown and gone.

Grandchildren live in another state...

And my dogs have gone onto rainbow bridge.

Though I did mange to find some toys around the house.

The center photo is of CK's favorite toy her dice ball.

The top corner is more of her and Luke's toys from when they were with us; before heading to rainbow bridge.

Top center is an old spindle doll from German that my friend gave me because I fall in love with her.

Lucy is my moms doll

The giraffe is a toy I have laying around here from when I collected Ty toys; I do have several of them and I still once in awhile will purchase one.

The corner is an angel doll I got at a Christmas party.

Two dolls in a store window in Poulsbo, Washington

The corner doll with thumb in mouth is another one of my moms dolls. She collects dolls she there are plenty of dolls at least at her home.

Puppy stuffed in couch is moms as well.

I guess you can say we never really did grow up at all!

"The Lord shall open unto thee His good treasure."

SALON

Today was a late start in the salon.

I had another appointment at a private home.

I am caring from some of my girlfriends clients while she recovers from surgery.

Here at the nursing home you never know how the day will go.

I had three appointments on the books.

One canceled then another came in.

I'm always happily surprised one way or another.

Set up for work

As I wait patiently.

I got a phone call from Melody,

 The hairdresser who once had this shop for twelve years.

Then blessed me with this business.

She came over with lunch today and colored my hair'

And I did hers as well.

What a blessing!

Oh thank you Lord!

Business trip coming up so I did want my hair to look nice.

It does!

This picture was taken before the hair color
So I will have to get some more photos done.
But hey I was semi busy today!
That is a wonderful thing.
Thank you for popping in and saying hello!
Blessings

Do you color or does only your hairdresser know for sure?

Day 17

A gift turned, folded, hung

A turned gift would be the pages of the book I'm reading...or one of the few that I'm working on anyways. As I turn the pages.

Folded is the wonderful gift of towels that Shari Whitlock blessed me with today. Which was an answer to one of my many small prayers that I have need of for my salon. Thank you Shari! And thank you Lord!

Hung gift would be the picture of my mom and dad on the wall in the living room on loan to me from my sister's. They are beautiful. Should take a photo of them and share them with you all. Blessings

Candid Moments~ Spring Bloom

Spring Color

Spring is blooming

Every where you look 
You see beauty in bloom

Gracing the sky line in color

Each bloom 

Glaring through 

Each Sunlit ray

Nourishing each limb

With the light of Spring

Color lining
Each limb
With radiant beauty
Life is full of color
As each branch in bloom
Graces the limbs 
Reaching the sky line
In new birth
With Spring on the horizon
Life is renewed

~Beth~

March 16~ Shadows

Today I wasn't going to get any new photos or shadows.

It has been overcast and gray all day.

Then this afternoon the rain came.

So Thank you I had photos with some shadows that I hadn't deleted from camera yet.

The tree top are taken around the apartment complex.

Love the one with the snow and the sun creating shadows from the trees.

Then one from a lunch out playing guess where I am.

Then the other five are from my Florida trip in December.

What a great time it was!

"Therefor if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:old things are passed away; behold, all things become new."

~2 Corinthians 5:17

Lord, cleanse my soul as the beautiful snow, and help me resist temptations.
