Sweet Shot Tuesday – Fortitude

 

I was out on a job site taking some post-construction potos and found these grape hyacinths growing in the gutter.  Not just any gutter, mind you, but a deep gutter that I designed specifically to carry storm water runoff down into a larger channel.  These sweet babies held on through the winter storms and spring rains of the past two years and are still just as exhuberant as they can be!   

Lenten Challenge Following Ann, counting my blessings. 

221. Grape Hyacinths
222. Knowing that God give me the strength to endure
223. My own fortitude
224. My stubbornness…sometimes I get what I want!
225. Brain that is now healed, only a smudge on an image shows that there was ever a stroke
226. Strong legs that let me run
227. Strong arms to carry heavy loads
228. Very strong back – I can lift grain sacks!
229. Broad shoulders, the kind that carry responsibility easily and willingly
230. Nimble fingers that can knit, sew, knead bread, thread beads
231. Lips to kiss
232. Knees and hips that are pain free
233. Soft stomach, even with the silvery marks that prove that I carried many babies
234. Collar bones that are now visible after shedding the pounds
235. Elbows and wrists to lean on and daydream
236. Eyes to see
237. Ears to hear
238. Mouth to speak
239. Hands to hold
240. Heart to love

Sweet Shot Tuesday

Following a link from my friend Danielle’s site and needing some inspiration motivation to start taking Good Photos again, I’ve joined the Sweet Shot Tuesdays linky blog hop over at Darcy’s My 3 Boybarians.

 

This  photo was a test shot taken in a dim room to test lighting and camera settings.  My focus is a bit off, sure, but I love this picture because it simply screams “Spring !!”
It’s been a long winter full of record setting cold, snow and flu here in North Central Texas – we’re ready for some Spring!
Thank you, Darcy, and I’ll be back!

It Was Meant to Be a JOKE…

…and a way to knock another half skein or so out of the stash.  Seriously, a Cat in a Hoodie? 
 
Whiskey Bob
I found the pattern here, and adapted it by knitting a rib band on each armhole because I didn’t have enough dark brown to make whole sleeves. Yarn – Cascade 220, gold colorway and Pattons wool, brown colorway.
 
Now all Bob needs is a clock on a chain and some shades.
