How can I raise the level of gratitude in my life? Let me count the ways.
Winnie Nielsen says: Look at the Gang just hangin out in the Spring sunshine. Love those faces!
Amy Cloud Chambers says: Oh, oh, oh you beautiful gals!
MaryJane says: Amy!!!! I just connected the dots. You are THE Amy Cloud on my newest CD, right? Your return address was Amy Chambers. I’ve been rocking out to it thinking she must be your friend, ha! Anyway, I dropped you a thank you note in the mail. Forgive me for being so untoward.
Winnie Nielsen says: My friend the American Robin! Cheep, Cheep!!
Bonnie ellis says: Robins are such fun to watch when they cock their head to listen for worms. Nice picture.
Winnie Nielsen says: Bees are such beautiful insects and what they do to make out lives better is absolutely incredible!
MaryJane says: Gooseberry or some kind of currant. I will pay attention once they bear fruit.
Cheryl bell says: Very nice picture, reminds me of the day my grandson saw his first bee, he was very afraid so I told him to be very still and watch, the bee is just thirsty as the bee took a drink from Dameons cup his fear turned into amazment
Bonnie ellis says: It is so great to see bees again in the spring. We couldn’t be Farmgirls without them.
Amy Cloud Chambers says: Oh heavens, how pretty that is. Bees are delightful helpers, aren’t they?

HI MaryJane, I am back from wandering along pathways from Amsterdam to Prague. It was fascinating to walk along fortresses from the 9th century and wander through the 11th Century home of the local cobbler in Rothenberg, Germany. Many things so different but also the same as today. People working, cooking, sleeping, raising children all in various states of convenience according to their economic level colored every stop we made and every path we took. I was so happy, however, to look out of the window of the plane and see US land. Home Sweet Home!! There is no place so wonderful as home.
It’s good to hear from you and know you’re home in one piece. What a journey. Take lots of naps in the next few days to catch up on home. How did Mr. Mister fare while you were faring?
Are you referring to my Mr. Bump? Well, we had a paid person come twice a day and a friend volunteered to come evenings to sit outside with him. I got several reassuring photos and videos that Bump was doing OK with the new staff arrangement. However, he has not let us out of his sight much since we got home and requesting lots of attention and pets to make sure we are sticking around. He is just the cutest kitty!!
Meanwhile, Warren was busy taking pictures galore! He is now going through all of them and keeping the good ones. He takes such good shots!
Yes, our Mr. Mister Bump.
