reflections...and promises...

rainy days make puddles to reflect the way things are right here and right now...

there is nothing much prettier than natures looking glass...

and the reflections it holds...

a true image in reverse...

calming, reassuring...

peaceful...

with each plop of rain...

and rainy days give you time to day dream...

about what is to come...

and how this junky area is going to change so much this year...

for I have been making plans...

and I kind of like the old lettering on this...

but then I am trying to come up with something better in my head...

any ideaa?

I want to leave most of the gray...

but I could paint the center section...

but would it cover it up or just look bad?

it's also a day for smelly wet dogs...

who need towels when they come in...

got to dig out the rain coat...

and, yes, there is a bright yellow and orange doggie rain coat in the closet...

it's soon going to be time to be using this again...

and we will have to move this further away from the house so the birds will continue to feed...

and right now I am putting dryer fuzz in the hanging planter here next to the feeder...

it's so the baby birdies will have a softer nest...

save your fuzz and just throw it out in your yard...

the birds are busy making nests now...

and they will use it...

it's been a day of friends, prayers, housework, hopping, laundry, napping and eating...

DH had the day off and it gave him a 3 day weekend...

been nice hanging out with my guys today...

and visiting all of you...

update on Angel Dawn's foot size...

that little bitty 90 lb storehouse of faith...

wears a size 10 1/2 shoe!

so if you stick some socks in your bonnet...

make 'em BIG!

Hugs- Tete

Mission: Possible...

have you guessed yet?

do you have a clue?

a few have guessed...

but not right...

what do all of these images have in common?

see the pretty little bonnets on their heads?

Easter Bonnets...

remember getting Easter Bonnets?

and proudly wearing them...

didn't they make you feel so good?

the next part of the puzzle involves Angel Dawn...

she's the sweetest little girl who just happens to be fighting cancer...

and she has to do chemo until this fall...

all of her beautiful hair fell out...

and some wonderful people sent her winter hats...

but spring and summer are coming...

and she could use some fun, light weight, girly kind of bonnets...

now, here is what I am sending...

a cute little cap...

$5 at Walmart...

I got one in pink and one in black...

and I am going to stick this lace flower on the black one...

and this one will go on the pink one...

then I'm going to box then up and mail them to Nezzy...

who is Angel Dawn's Sunday School teacher...

and she will give them to her...

so she will have something pretty to wear...

so here is my idea...

I know there are a lot of crafty people out there...

and for those of you who aren't...

there are still plenty of cute hats to pick from...

and if we all sent her wonderful little Easter Bonnets...

and I am also going to stick in some fun Easter socks...

she could be like any other girl on Easter morning...

and all spring and summer, too...

with her beautiful hats...

fun socks...

and whatever else you think would just say...

"I'm so cute in my Easter Parade!"

she wears womens hats and her feet are a size 9!

so womens' socks, too!

and we can't send too many!

if Angel Dawn gets so many she can't wear them all...

she is at St. Jude's and I am sure she has a few friends that she can share all the love with...

and they can march up and down the halls...

in their very finest Easter Bonnets...

so if you want to help out a little girl fighting the worst of all diseases have a little fun and feel a little pretty...

leave me a comment and I will get the address to you...

if you would like to learn more...

just find her in my sidebar and click on her photo...

that will take you into Nezzy's post that tells all about little Angel Dawn and her daily struggles...

my idea is having them all mailed out by April 1st...

that give us just over a month to create some master pieces...

so put on your thinking caps...

and lets see what you can come up with...
