This has been a very busy week with church activities every single night and today I am busy making Whiskey Cakes for the church bake sale tomorrow! Therefore there has been no time for even picking up my needle for any stitching these last few days and the weekend looks to be just as busy with other activities too!
The weather today is so beautiful! It is almost 80 degrees outside! Of course a cold front is due to move through later today which will bring us back to more seasonable weather here in Virginia. Unfortunately with this cold front and the extreme drop in temperatures expected we are under tornado watches across the state.

I did go out and take a couple of pictures of flowers in bloom in my yard. Spring is trying so hard to come early this year.
My horses are wishing for cooler temperatures. They are much too warm in their long winter coats today! These two pictures are of my Morgan gelding, Hawkeye.
He is covered with dead grass from rolling on the ground trying to dry his sweating coat. He needs a good rub down to clean him up a bit and some cooling winds to make him feel more comfortable.
On Wednesday night, Ash Wednesday, we had the most wonderful service at our church, a service that makes one think on all the sins we commit on a daily basis. You know the little sins we don't even recognize as sin. The way we think about others, the choices we make in reaching out or not reaching out to those in need. The pride we have instead of humility, the control we think we have in our lives when really we can only depend on God to make all things right. This service has really made me take a step back and examine myself from afar and see what God sees, the sinful self that I am and the child which He loves and to whom He extends His unlimited grace and mercy. I thank God everyday for the incredible gift of love and sacrifice he gave to us in the death and resurrection of his one and only son, Jesus Christ! I think that this year's Lenten journey will be one of growth and maturity in my faith!
I wish everyone a safe and fun weekend!
Blessings and Happy Stitching!
