These are the days we live for ... the greening and brightening of creation, the perfection of warmth and weather, wind and waves.
And just in case I thought the world couldn't spin without me, I sprained my ankle two days ago. Badly. I'm not going anywhere for the time being except to awkwardly scoot around three rooms.
These days, Mom's long and winding Homeward journey has her in a place where she's not missing me, not asking for me. And, surprisingly, I'm at peace with that reality even though I can't be there to hold her hand or whisper a prayer in her ear.
It's a bit of a gentle lesson lest I think I'm indispensable. Well-taken, Lord.

I splurged on Emily Lux's charming water-colored baking tea-towels for my girls ... and me! Her gardening tea-towel is so much fun, too. Fair warning - these babies sell out quick.
When it comes to friendships, it's ok to be the planner.
I'm a big fan of Ed's work.
Being 'fully present' is more than a trendy phrase for these international workers. Talk about being the hands and feet of Christ. Here's a unique glimpse.
