That's a cute post...so many of our projects are like that aren't they? No one will ever notice, but my to do list is complete, except I'm waiting for some more sunshine so that my gardens will bloom.

Just looking at these photos made my heart race (I'm terrified of heights). I am thankful he made it safely to the ground.

I'll bet your man feels pretty special to have someone like you "caring" so much about him and his safety! I always feel uneasy too when things like this are being done here on our farm!

Glad he was able to stay safe up there!

If only we were all more concerned about some things that no one ever sees.
This morning this reminded me of a sculptor in a cathedral who was working in an area that no one sees ... when asked about it... his reply ... God does.

So pretty!! Our peonies bushes are covered in little buds. About 2 weeks early this year.

Yikes!!

Love how you told him to stay put til you got the camera :) A true blogger!

Good to know that he is safely down. I am learning (nearly daily) that a man is going to do what he's going to do. ☺

And oh won't it be nice when he goes back there and looks up at his work and knows how neat and tidy everything is. He strikes me as such a person who enjoys neat and tidy.

Glad he never came down too quickly...and was stil...

Glad he never came down too quickly...and was still there when you came back with the camera. Hope those back gables are soon done...and he can keep his feet firmly on the ground.

That really scares me too! I'm terrified of heights for myself and to see others in precariously high positions as well. I'm glad he got down safely.

2012-05-31T05:13:10.854-07:00

Oh my, that just doesn't look the least bit safe! Does that mean he has to go back up again??

Oh dear. I do not like men on roofs! Glad he got down the safe way.

Special treasure! And just wait till those peonies...

2012-05-30T20:57:51.204-07:00

Special treasure!
And just wait till those peonies open! I brought a bouquet home from the wedding and did not realize there were peonies in there until they opened up in all of their glory - since getting it home. Almost too bad they were almost hidden as buds amongs the other blooms... but now they get their turn in my kitchen.

Sweet! Such a precious gift! And lovely flowers! ...

2012-05-30T11:52:00.732-07:00

What a desperately needed ministry in today's world. This is a great concept and you sure did share some wise advice. Older couples guiding younger couples, while all looking to the Ultimate God of Love, who created it all. The pictures are beautiful!

2012-05-30T09:54:10.003-07:00

I've never seen nor heard of a sun dog before, Lovella! What an amazing sight! I also love your shells of the beach photo. I can resist collecting pretty shells when I see them. I put them around my plants in the garden.
I'm so glad you had a nice time on the couples retreat -- I'm sure you and your husband were able to impart much wisdom and good example to your group!

Roses are my favorite flowers so I always look forward to the first blooms. Your new vase is gorgeous! Good job Kanneloni Macaroni!

Around the US a halo is a full circle around the sun (or moon), while a "dog" is kind of like a chunk or bit of wispy color striped bit that appears anywhere around the sun, but usually at the 4 o'clock or 7 o'clock position...like puppies sitting by their master's knees. Probably both halos and sundogs have other poetic names in various regions. I mostly think they should just be called beautiful!

2012-05-29T11:07:26.454-07:00

I've heard of a sundog...probably from Jill! I have never seen one, though, so thanks for the great photography. You two make such a cute couple...I'm glad that you have hearts for teaching others. Those crossing guards ask the strangest questions! ☺

It's always so encouraging to see a church support and proactively encourage healthy marriages, which in turn makes strong families. So important is a strong family unit to our civilization that the current President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame (who brought in the new government to end the genocide) recently said at a Christian Life Assembly in Africa, "strong, cohesive and healthy families form the basis on which the foundation of a strong nation is built, because families form the smallest but most effective unit of administration of a nation." So true. And by the way...considering the 3rd photo, do I address you as St. Lovella now, the patron saint of good cooking and good marriage? Luuuuuuv it!
