Had some fun tonight messing with the pic.  I tried a green background and a pink one, but decided on the blue.  No magic really, I just tweaked the tint and saturation.  I think it makes the flower stand out more.  It makes me think of the movie  "Aladdin" when Jafar says "things aren't always as they seem".  Seems like everything these days is enhanced some how.  More vibrant colors, added vitamins, cosmetic surgery, so much tweaking.  I wish I could tweak my bank account.  About all I do is get a haircut once in a while.  

Day 34.   I heard one time that you are never more than three feet away from a spider.  Indoors or out, there is a spider watching you.  That really creeps me out.  I know that spiders are necessary and they have a job to do.  I would rather live with a few spiders than any mosquitoes or flies.  However, I still don't like them.  Every little brown spider looks like a brown recluse to me.  But that doesn't stop me from getting a close look.  They creep me out and fascinate me at the same time.  So I will leave them alone as long as they leave me alone, but if one gets too close I have no problem squishing it.  One less spider will not upset the balance of the universe.

The picture does not do justice to this quilt.  It is really much more beautiful in real life.  And, yes, it is all flannel.  It is my quilt.  Made specifically for me.  No, you can not borrow it.  :-)  Just think of all the pieces it took to make this, or any, quilt whole.  Take one piece out and the pattern is off and the quilt isn't finished.  Here is where you make your own comparison to how God is putting all the pieces of your life together.  Happy quilting. 

Praise the Lord for rain.  The official report was less than an inch, but my rain gauge had 1 & 4/10 inch.  It was wonderful.  When the rain was over the sun began to shine again.  I knew there had to be a rainbow, so I ran to the back yard and there it was.  It was so cool.  I couldn't get the whole thing in a picture, so I got in the van to go get a better perspective.  By the time I had driven to the end of the street it was gone.  I could remark here about how fast beauty fades, but that wasn't what I was thinking.  I was thinking more about how fast opportunity disappears.  My intentions were to wait for the storm to go past and then take pictures of the lightning.  I wanted to try to capture that.  So, when the sun came out one opportunity was gone, but, another presented itself.  At least I caught a little piece of it and didn't waste the chance.

Day 31.  This post is for yesterday.   I did take the pic yesterday but didn't get around to posting.  So, I'm doing it today.   I waited until it was to late and then didn't finish.  No, I was not procrastinating.  I was busy, that's all.  How long does it take a procrastinator to change a light bulb?  I'll tell you later.

Look in the concordance in the back of your bible and see how many scriptures have the word love in them.  How many songs have been written about love?  Wars have been fought for love.  Lives have been given for love. 
 All I know is that LOVE ROCKS!!!

Day 29.  Almost a month in to this project and I finally have at least one picture of each of my children.  Matthew wouldn't cooperate with me until I mentioned using his guitar.  I guess it's kind of a crutch for him.  It is very natural for him to hold and play.  Maybe, it's more of a security blanket.  At least I got a picture.  Matthew leaves for school tomorrow, and he's taking his guitar with him.
