There’s an urgency about the days this time of year. End of year school programs, spring storms, placing bedding plants in the garden, squeezing in extra snuggles with grandchildren before their visit is over – these are things that have made this past week fly by. Spending time with you on Thursdays is a favorite way to recharge – thank you for bringing encouragement and inspiration to our hearts and our homes! I enjoyed last week’s most viewed post – I Spy Photography Challenge. I’m asking my daughter to help me create a challenge of our own!
And for my featured posts this week:
- Kids Gardening Books because gardening season is coming on strong here and I miss the days when I read books like these to my little ones who are now grown and gardening with littles of their own!
- Three Ways to Celebrate Spring because you know, April is coming to a close and May is making an entrance and there’s still time for celebrating spring!
- Crochet Afghans in TV Shows because a crocheted blanket makes a home comfy and now I’m watching every scene of every show I watch for an afghan!
