Out in my yard today…  sunny and 42 degrees.  I’m not at all upset with the groundhog’s prediction.  If we are to have six more weeks of winter weather like we’ve had so far, then bring it on! 

These little guys were under my birdfeeder enjoying the seed that the bigger birds dropped. Baxter diligently secures the perimeter every time he goes outside. This heart hangs outside right next to my front door.

I’m grateful for… a huge mug of green tea with coconut, ginger, and vanilla, a clean kitchen, a smart husband, and mercy that is fresh each morning!

One of my favorite things… is listening to solo piano music.  George Winston, David Nevue… so relaxing and inspiring. 

This week I’m reading… Dawn’s Prelude by Tracie Peterson.

This was January’s book club selection that I am just now really getting into.  I’m also doing a ton of reading to prepare for my Bible study each week, so I don’t have as much time for leisure reading right now.

I’m looking forward to…  the premiere of the new show “Smash” tonight.  A show about making a Broadway musical?  Absolutely brilliant!

Simple life tip for the week…   “There’s a way to do work that lasts forever.  Just do everything with love.”~ Ann Voskamp   What could be more simple than that?!
