A Sunflower

I was hoping to pull a few additional posts together this week but my resources just didn't pan out, so instead I'm posting a few photos of sunflowers from our garden.

Each year my son and I sit and plant sunflower seeds. It's something we've done ever since I can remember. It's his thing in the garden every year and I can't imagine our spring without it.

We've had a lot of mixed results through the years; from birds eating the seeds to squirrels running away with whole heads in their mouths. So it's usually a "hope for the best" while we hold our breath and wait. This year he had an especially successful crop and we couldn't be happier.

It means even more at this age ~ I guess because you don't expect a teenage boy man to sit down and plant seeds with you. That, and you don't know how many more springs he'll be doing it with you. So I guess it's just one of those treasures in life you take while you can get ~ kind of like that sunflower... you know sooner or later it will fade away but you'll always cherish it's beauty.

Happy Weekend

To all of you wonderful friends, Followers, visitors, and passersby ~ whether you're celebrating Passover, Easter, or just a lovely spring weekend ~ I just wanted to wish you all a wonderful weekend from our garden to yours...

Spring Break Sale & New Goodies

We've finally come upon spring break in our household and I couldn't be happier. The least favorite part of my day is when the alarm clock goes off each morning at 6:30 and my son & I set of to get him out the door to school. For the next 6 days we get a break from this labor of love and simply couldn't be happier, whoot!

So to celebrate I'm holding a spring break sale! The timing couldn't be better as I've just finished creating some lovely new treasures so it's a great time to pick up a gift for a friend or a treat for yourself~

There are a selection of new blog images, new EDiTaBLe-PRiNTaBLe tags & labels, and lovely new selection of springtime treasures, all posted in my shop.

It's tricky to know what the 'proper' response etiquette is for blog comments ~ do we post comments on our own blogs?... do we send email follow ups?... do we write a new post altogether?... I've never been quite sure, but I had to step in and say thank you so much for all the supportive comments left on my "Sometimes" post.

I just can't tell you how much you've all touched my heat and how much your thoughts, prayers, candles, and well wishes mean to our family. One of my friends asked me ~ How can you write about something so personal? How could I not. In a world where most of us struggle to fit in, we've found a place where we can all meet, share, and support one another. Blogland is a place where each day we feel akin to other creative souls.

Beyond sales, money, and material needs, your well wishes in all forms lift our spirits and give us continued hope that we'll make it through this time ~ so thank you so much for all your love and support! You truly are the nourishment that keeps this plumrose blooming♥
