Avenue

I liked all of the suggested names -- delightful, one and all -- for the CowNots' path to the north pasture. Thank you for the shared fun.

I also like seeing my middle initial; it is all about me.

avenue: a broad passageway bordered by trees

Next, I'm fond of alliteration. A couple of decades ago, my dear husband addressed me as "my little meadow muffin," which warmed the cockles of my heart...until I learned what a meadow muffin is. Even so, I've never shaken that initial, warm, fuzzy feeling derived from such a dainty sounding endearment, flowing to me from the lips of my beloved.

With this preface, I present:

Meanwhile, back at the house...

They're still just being chickens.

Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. ~Jeremiah 33:2-3

Spring

SPRING

*sigh*

It's beautiful.

I just had to take pictures today, even though it was overcast most of the day. I wanted to capture the beauty of spring.

The jonquils are blooming.

The trees are beginning to flower.

I planted gerbera daisies.

Daisies are so cheerful. ºÜº


and some pansies


happy little faces


Hello, little pansy.

I just had to take pictures today, even though it was overcast most of the day. I wanted to capture the beauty of spring.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO SNOW SATURDAY

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. ~Galatians 1:3-5

Linguistics

Son3 was expressing his sometimes confusion over the spellings of whether and weather.

"I've been going around with your older siblings over this for years. If you'd say the words right, you wouldn't have any trouble spelling them."

"The dictionary says both pronunciations are correct: hweth-er and weth-er," he replied.

"Yes, that is what the dictionary says today. Over the years, our language has become mangled. Listen, when I was 5 years old, there wasn't any question at all about how to pronounce (h)whether, (h)what,
(h)when, (h)where, (h)why," I said, emphasizing the breathy "h" in the pronunciations. "And we didn't have any problems spelling the words."

"Yeah, but people thought the world was flat back then, too...and weren't they still bleeding people?"

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. ~Galatians 3:26

Little Nibblers

Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. ~Psalm 135:6

Name the Lane

This is a portion of the lane between the two pastures. The north pasture is in the distance, behind the CowNots. We need to name this lane...because I'm squirrelly enough to do something like that.

I'd like it to have a name which could have come from the mind of Anne Shirley. To think of a name that lavish and lyrical, you're going to have to imagine leaves on the trees, because it's just not that warm here yet, and I'm too impatient to wait for the leaves. As long as you're imagining things, you can put some flowers in the lane too. There won't ever be any, but you need to think beautiful, if you're going to have Anne Shirley thoughts.

Let me help ya out here...

Better? Even the dandelions help, don't they. There could be a butterfly in the lane someday.

I've given you a lot of help here with your task. I'm a good helper. Now put your thinking caps on, and use the comments box to name that lane.

And thank you.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. ~Isaiah 40:8
