Daily Face: 26th
Today one of my daily students came in and brought me a note, this is what it said:
Always have belief on the Lord and he will give you good things. Put your trust in him because he is real.Sometimes you don't know how God works in your life. This made me so happy inside.

Literary Friday: To-Read List Book
This has been sitting on my to-read shelf for a while. I
finally picked it up and started to read it. It's quite good and funny so far.
Let's hope the story telling will be just as good at the end.
(Excerpt from Goodreads) Magazine writer and editor Lori
Tharps was born and raised in the comfortable but mostly White suburbs of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she was often the only person of color in her
school and neighborhood. At an early age, Lori decided that her destiny would
be discovered in Spain. She didn't know anyone from Spain, had never visited
the country, and hardly spoke the language. Still, she never faltered in her
plans to escape to the Iberian Peninsula.
At its heart, this is a love story. It is a memoir, a travel
essay, and a glimpse into the past and present of Spain. As humorous and
entertaining as such favorite travel stories as "Under the Tuscan
Sun," this book also unveils a unique and untold history of Spain's
enduring connection to West Africa. "Kinky Gazpacho" celebrates the
mysticism of travel and the joys of watching two distinct cultures connect and
come together.

When I go to estate sales I often would prefer to just dig up a couple of plants from the yard. Sometimes I just walk through the gardens and look at all of their beautiful plants.

What's Blooming & New Terrarium
Clematis |
Phlox |
The beautiful glass terrarium came from an estate sale. I couldn't believe when the owner said ten dollars. The original price tag of $239 was still on it. The coleus is an experiment. I read that if you brought it indoors and put it in a south facing window that it would survive the winter. It did. My hopes are to turn it into a topiary like this one found at flickriver.com.

Daily Face: April 6th
Today I had a final exam. I thought that I was going to make a low score, because I did not study properly. I really didn't want to mess of my A. I'm happy to say I passed with a 98. I surprised myself.

I love the way this little guy's head is tilted.
Today I had our neighborhood meeting at my house. It was fun. I forgot to take photo's.
I met a neighbor who is in her 80's and use to paint and sell her art. When she came in and sat down she stated that she loved my painting over the fire place. When I told her I painted it, she told me how much she use to love painting. I got her number. I hope to get together with her and talk about painting. She said she stopped painting when her husband died five years ago.
My painting over my fire place is an abstract of the Bible story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego with Christ in the fiery furnance (Daniel 3).

Daily Face : April 1st
Happy April Fool's Day!
I remember growing up that we always like to play pranks on each other for this day. Children don't seem to enjoy this day as much as we use to.
