Wednesday wanderings

The past few days have been glorious!! Signs that Spring is on it's way are everywhere. Sunday my husband and I went to Biltmore Estate, walked around the bass pond. Saw this beautiful pair of ducks. I know soon there will be some little ones following along behind momma.

Not sure yet what this cute little flower is. I'll need to look it up when I have more time. Be sure to click on it so you can see the honey bee.

And we also found a sweet gum tree. Arent' these the cutest? These are sweet gum balls.

This is the neatest thing. It is a sundial. My husband's shadow is between the 4 and 5. I looked at my watch and it was 4:15.

~~~edited to add this http://www.iodesign.net/tag/biltmore-estate/ . This website tells about the sundial and how it was built.

I saw 2 eastern bluebirds, flying and twittering as they went. I love how they look when the sun is shining on them . I love all birds but those bluebirds just take my breath.

Yesterday, our yard was invaded by robins. They were busy finding yummy stuff to eat in the grass and they took time to take a nice refreshing bath in our creek.

I love getting letters in the mail! It is a rare thing anymore. Most people correspond by emai, facebook, twitter, texting, etc.

It was nice to hear from an old friend.

Today I'll be going to a local Christian bookstore and filling out the necessary paperwork for my employment!!! I'm so excited. This truly is a blessing-Gods' timing was just right in this. Isnt' it always? It's only very part time right now, while one is waiting to be moved into a new position. I'll be training during this time and move into that when it comes available.
