Groundhog Lied

March 23, 2013 By Virginia 17 Comments

Those of us in the Midwest are bracing for a Spring Snowstorm.

Apparently, Punxsutawney Phil has a penchant for lying.

GROUNDHOG LIED

We’re supposed to get 6-10 inches.

The phrase, “Liar, liar, pants on fire,” comes to mind.

Of course, that would keep the little varmint warm, while the rest of us freeze, now wouldn’t it? The LA Times reports that out east, one Butler County Prosecutor, Mike Gmoser, filed an indictment calling for the death of the erroneous forecaster, saying he “purposely, and with prior calculation and design, caused the people to believe that Spring would come early.” I don’t think his crime deserves the death penalty, but I do wish you’d stay in your hole, Phil. Just stay in your hole.

How’s the weather your way?

I fell in love with the shop when I was searching for a petti romper for our Little Miss, and found the lace petti romper that is rows and rows of lace. Talk about cuteness overload!

Tot Shot Boutique graciously sent me a lace petti romper with coordinating hat and flower petal sandal crib shoes for the Baby Shower Gift Guide.

I absolutely cannot wait to put these on my baby girl and take TONS of photos! I can just imagine her little rump sticking up in this lace with her sleeping.

Too Much Red

January 5, 2013 By Virginia 2 Comments

Hubs and I decided to stop by the St. Louis Outlet Mall on our way home from rug shopping. As we walked around the mall, I saw a new shop that had TONS of wigs in it, and this one was in their window…

I had to try it on, it was so cute.

Too much red, right?

It was cuter on her, anyway.

I did like the cut of it, though. If they’d had it in all black, I might have considered buying it.

Run to the Well

January 4, 2013 By Virginia 2 Comments

This morning I was reading Genesis 24 during my devotional time. I’ve read it many times before, but this morning verses 18-20 just jumped out at me. Do you know how much water ten camels can drink? Up to 40 buckets.

Forty.

Rebekah was not only willing to serve, she ran back to the well.

Not only did she run to the well, she kept pulling buckets until all of the camels had finished drinking.

I don’t know why I’ve always thought it’d be like watering a dog.

It wasn’t.

It was forty buckets of water worth of willing to serve.

That is the faithful servant’s heart that I aspire to.

Speaking of aspirations… As you may have noticed, I haven’t been posting nearly as much lately. I am currently studying for my pastoral license. It’s a lot of work, as it should be. Between that, homeschooling the kidlets, the holiday season, and life in general, things have been really busy around here. Now that the new year is upon us, I am hopeful that time will allow me to post more frequently.

In the meantime, I run to the well.

Squirrel Buster Plus

January 3, 2013 By Virginia 1 Comment

In 2010, I added a bird feeder to our tree outback. The cute little bird feeder bench made my day. And the day of quite a few cardinals that have frequented our back yard in the last year and a half. Do you see the lady cardinal in this picture? Isn’t she gorgeous?

Unfortunately, the squirrels discovered our cute little bench. Which meant birdies went bye-bye. Every time I turned around, there’d be a squirrel sitting just as pretty as you please in the bench. Knocking all the seed out. Ugh.

Since I couldn’t beat them at their own game, I decided to leave the bench for the squirrels, and add a new bird feeder for the cardinals. I went with the Squirrel Buster Plus. It is a 3 quart squirrel proof bird feeder that is dishwasher safe and cardinal friendly. It has six perches and a cardinal ring and the seed ventilation system helps ensure that your seed stays healthy for your fine feathered friends. The coolest part, though, is that it is weight adjustable for selective feeding, which means when properly adjusted, squirrels CLOSE the bird feeder when they attempt to snag some seed.

My kids loved helping me set it up, and now my fine feathered friends enjoy it without me having to worry that the squirrels are stealing all of their seed…

It’s amazing how long seed will last if there are no squirrels diving into it! One of my Mama Cardinals has returned, but she every time I try to snag a picture of her she flies away. Either she is incredibly camera shy or she has very acute hearing.
