brown paper packages tied up with string...

....These are a few of my favorite things! (this spring)

1) New Espadrilles 2) Lilies in my living room 3) Easter Cross at Peachtree Presbyterian

Spring is in the Air

After the cold and rainy week today's 70 degree weather was marvelous. I got outside and created my EASTER TREE. I have to find the ornaments I made last year and it will be complete.

I also planted some grass in egg shells. I have seen this on a few blogs, but I thought I would try it myself and see how it turns out.



I will take more pictures as it grows.

Great Day of Service

Today Cullen and I took part in the Great Day of Service at our church Blacknall. We worked at the Genesis Home which is a great ministry that works to end homelessness for families with children and young adults by providing housing and supportive services to foster independence. Genesis Home creates a community in which everyone lives in safe and sustainable communities and shows compassion to neighbors in need.

We had a great time meeting new people and really appreciate what Genesis Home is doing for our community!

True Love

Cullen and I have fallen in love with little Weldan! She has been a wonderful addition to our life in Durham. Here are a few pictures:

We took her swimming, which she loves. When we adopted Weldan, the woman at the shelter told us she was the cleanest white dog she had ever seen, which we were excited about but didn't think much of; well take a look at those paws (her belly was the same color). When we got home from the river she was spotless...not a single bit of red clay on her...? Do we have a self cleaning dog - amazing!
