This Little Sweetheart



 
 
She is fearless when it comes to picking sweet juicy blackberries from a stickery bush.
 
 
 
And loves to share everything!
 
 
And she appreciates a pretty flower.

The Bunny Out my Window

Each year at this time we see cute baby bunnies hopping around the yard.  This little cutie was nibbling on some clover just outside our new french doors.  He held still long enough for me to quick grab my camera and take a shot from my desk, that is, my new desk, right next to the new french doors.  What a great new view I have.

Forget Not













This year's Stake Women's Conference theme was taken from Elder Uchtdorf's talk called Forget Not.
Ida and I came up with some decorating ideas based on the delicate Forget me not flowers.
Luckily Katie was here visiting and she did a great job recreating the design of the cake table from a picture I found online.  I found all the teacups and saucers and the tall stemware at the Goodwill.  Ida ordered the little white lanterns online.  The luckiest find was the little yellow buckets holding the forget me not flowers.  They were at the dollar store the day we decorated. We were pleased with the way it all turned out!

The Cascade River


I went for a drive up to Marblemount with Keith when he had an inspection to do one evening.  I took my camera and played around with different settings.  What gorgeous scenery!







and what a wonderful guy!
