This is where I live.
I find [...]

Our beautiful Gulf Coast sun came out again, after a day and a half of hiding. Oh, how I missed it, sun-spoiled-soul that I am. I was able to get some better shots of the Disappearing 9 Patch quilts for you.

I enjoy all things in nature. For me, nature is God’s Great Cathedral. I see Him in everything natural, from baby’s little toes to the dark clouds on a stormy summer afternoon.

I kind of like my man.
He’s tough.

We always have a lot of birds down here, with the barrier islands, many bays, bayous, and rivers, but we also get some Winter guests from the North. Snowbirds that come down with the snowbirds. To those of you who are missing your birds right now: they’re doing fine; we’re taking good care of them!

My birthday present from my man arrived last night. I jumped up and down, which made the kids jump up and down.
My man didn’t jump up and down. He’s cool, you know.
