  1. I love this! A wonderful way to begin a new week...the week after the first week of Easter...noticing the resurrection of God's world around us as spring continues to unfold. There is much to enjoy if we just open our eyes and behold the beauty! Thank you for this reminder today. I will be watching.

  2. I do like hearing the bird songs. No Spring flowers here yet. The green leaves are popping up though. Janice

  3. Oh YES! Each of things makes my heart sing....especially the crazy socks!! I wear compression socks (mostly in the winter) and I love the crazy designs on many of them. Perfect list Carla.

  8. Good Morning Carla! It looks like you will get spring blossoms soon. The morning bird song is so sweet, isn't it, especially those doves cooooing in the distance. Chocolate ice cream, Yummy, and rocky road is one of my favs. There's nothing like cozy socks. I always love to hear the things that make your heart happy, Carla. Have a lovely spring week.

  10. The early morning bird song is one of my favorites! They start singing before the sun is even up...anticipating another beautiful day! Lots of lessons there, no doubt:)
