blessings

the weather was so nice earlier this week - almost summer-like. i spent a beautiful day with my mom, grandmom, and niece alaina...

... and lots and lots of butterflies!


when we weren't chasing butterflies or admiring flowers, alaina and i played in the sandboat her pop-pop don made her.


alaina showed me how to make "lovie pie", then made me a birthday cake and told me to blow out the candles.=)


after a rainshower, my mom suggested that she and alaina go look for rainbows - and they found one!


what blessings have you received lately?

  7. Thank you for these lovely photos!! Butterflies are all so beautiful. I like one fairy-tale what tells that butterflies are petals of flowers which just decided to fly into air. Alaina seems to be really sweet, children are full of pure creativity! You are a wonderful person, Kelli! Thanks for inspiration!

  12. Wow, you really have an amazing variety of butterflies out there. I did not see very many this summer for some reason...next year they will come. I feel blessed to have had a good garden harvest and really blessed to have had nice weather in which to work.
