The remarkable life of the 18th century British abolitionist William Wilberforce. I also LOVED Metaxas' Bonhoeffer.
Our whole family listens to and loves this series. Great British humor.
We LOVE The Ranger's Apprentice series. Unfortunately, this is the last in the series : (

Our supper time fantasy table talk was becoming tedious. It was time to re-engage with the "real world".
With each growth stage I open my hands to something beautiful and life altering. And in grabbing hold I have to let go of old patterns and expectations.
I promise not to make this into a running blog. I know, two posts in one week about running, a bit of overkill.
The most recent arrival to the feeder is the Purple Finch. This spring is the first time we've seen a purple finch; and we're all in love with the rich red of the males.
You don't need a special space to create the "right environment" for creativity or learning. What you need is "right relationship".

These pictures remind me so
These pictures remind me so much of the year we lived in Marquette, MI (the upper peninsula). Although it's beautiful, I don't miss that much snow.
It's gray, wet and soggy here....but snowing on the mountain, which is good since we have a snowshoeing event planned for tomorrow.
70 degrees, blue skies, calm.
70 degrees, blue skies, calm. Pretty typical for March in Tucson! We are enjoying our prime time of year weather-wise, getting outside as much as possible before the heat arrives in May. We've only seen the snow once this winter (on a day trip to one of the mountain ranges that surround us). Having grown up in the northeastern U.S., I do miss a more proper winter sometimes but every place has its pros and cons as far as weather. Thanks for sharing so many beautiful images of your winter wonderland!
I am not envious of the snow!
I am not envious of the snow! It is beautiful but I am not a fan. LOL It looks like the beginning of spring here in Ohio. Chilly and wet. I am content though knowing that warmer weather is just around the corner!

Living in So. California, I cannot even image living in all that snow! I think it would be fun for a while, but I'm not sure I could take it every year! It does look lovely, though!

A fair amount of the white, sparkly stuff but Quebec tends to get more than Alberta, in my experience. The weather all winter has been so nice... unusually warm.

Renee,
I know you have a tiny place, but if you would like a visit for the weekend from a family of four, we would be happy to oblige. ;) Looks like there is plenty of fun to be had. We stopped along the side of the road and let Axel (3 years old) play in a tiny patch of snow. He thought it was the coolest thing. Spending time in your back yard would blow his little mind.
I'm so jealous! I wish we had
I'm so jealous! I wish we had more snow here.

I was wondering where all our snow went this year... apparently you got it! :) The ground is actually covered here for the first time in several weeks, but with rain tomorrow I think we'll be back to half grass again. We didn't even get enough snow to build tunnels and forts this year! But I am ready for spring now...first comes mud season thought- I'm going to buy some cute mud boots next week :)
Down here in the Southern
Down here in the Southern hemisphere we are just tilting into Autumn.....we have had a ghastly Summer here, rain, cold and wind. Our fire is on for the 5th time this year! I am not at already for the turning inwards that comes with Autumn but body is still open and waiting for lazy days in the sun at the beach. I know, I need to let it go!
Here in my part of Minnesota
Here in my part of Minnesota we had our first major snowfall on Leap Day--a real bonus day for the kids who had school cancelled. Did get some nice photos of the ice covered trees as their branches made music.
Looks pretty much the same
Looks pretty much the same over here. Blizzarding today, and we already had 5 feet on the ground.

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you have done a very good job with this. Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Safari. Superb Blog! get pregnant
