A special treasure

I received this beautiful treasure after church today. I love it. As an added bonus, I think the artist unknowingly incorporated my current favorite thing: a tiny house! Do you see it, too? 

Rochester Parks and Olmsted County Parks

I am thankful to live in an area where there are plenty of beautiful parks!

Tonight Mom and I took a stroll through a lovely park filled with bluebells. Gorgeous!

Here are some photos from the adventure....

We also made a little time for silliness at the mall before heading to Applebee's for appetizers!

Although these sunglasses were thoroughly unique,

I did not purchase them.  

Have a great weekend!

Word of the Week: Wheel

We've explored so many words together these last 2 years.  It has been a delight to see your photos, and I hope the adventure can continue.  Thank you for your creativity!

This week's word is "wheel" - do you have any suggestions for a future week?
I'd love to hear from you!

If you're new to the blog - this is how "Word of the Week" works....I share a new word at some point in the week, and then folks send in photos that relate to that word.  It's a ton of fun and I hope you'll join in the party next week.

This month's Senior Center presentation was on the topic of "adapting to change" - the participants were so wise, wonderful, and hilarious.  They teach me so much every month!

As a teen, my grandma liked to take nature photos!
