A Brief Hiatus

I am taking a short hiatus from blogging while I go to a conference for the next week and then my family will join me for a visit with our older daughter. We are greatly looking forward to it!

I didn't want you to think I was neglecting you by not commenting, but I look forward to catching up on all your news and stories when I return.

I pray all who have been sick/ injured return to health, I wish moments of stillness for those who have been ultra busy, and I hope peace for those who have been feeling stress.

I want to leave you with something that brings me joy and contentment. Here are some pics from our front yard in the springtime when the wildflowers abound.

These are some of the bovine friends I write about with bluebonnets in the foreground.




And here are more bluebonnets with a rare pink bluebonnet thrown in. The little bee there seems to like pink, too.





Take care of yourselves, my bloggy friends- I'll see you again in about ten days!
