14/365: Grass

I love the smell of fresh-cut grass. The husband mowed today. It smelled so good. And the way it feels underneath my bare feet just after it has been cut - so thick and soft. If I had to make a list of the 10 things I love, this would be on there. I now, sounds silly. But for me, it makes perfect sense. When I was a kid we had almost two acres of yard. As soon as I heard the mower start up, I could hardly wait for the smell to fill the outdoors. I loved to run as fast as I could through the yard (barefoot) just after my Dad had finished mowing. It was a great feeling. Now, I can recapture some of that when I walk outside barefoot after the husband has mowed. Oh, the joy!

I think I am going to make a list of 10 things I love :)

6/365: Marvel

I snapped this on a trip to the zoo. I love the zoo. I've always been an animal lover, a lover of all nature for that matter. I look at a picture like this and marvel at the handy-work of the awesome God I serve. He created this. Was He showing off? I'd like to think not. I don't think that God does things just to show off. I believe He does things, creates things, because He is God and He always has a plan and a purpose. When I'm at the zoo, surrounded by some of the most amazing and beautiful creatures I have ever seen, I feel as though God is telling me, "Remember who I am. Remember that I created you just as I created them. Remember that I took even more care to make you beautiful, special, uniquely you. Remember your Creator who loves you and desires to fellowship with you" Oh, God thank You for reminding me.

5/365: Crazy Daisies

These are the flowers we gave the girls at recital. I love how they brighten up my dining room. The bright pinks, purples, oranges, turquoise..what a feast for the eyes! Who couldn't help but smile when they see them?
