A Rainbow of Sprinkles in May

May was sprinkled with all kinds of goodness! 

lots of rainy days that beckoned me to wear my pretty raincoat

sunshiney days scattered throughout

homemade bread from a new neighbor friend

a picnic with my husband

where we spent the day in the shade of a tree

reading, listening

laughing

huge blueberries sprinkled in our cereal and smoothies

the beach!!! 

time with this little boy, waiting for his baby brother to be born

lots of colorful veggies - this was for lettuce wraps

spontaneous mid-week getaway

a little blanket for a new little boy

all the small pleasures in life

indian food .... sooooo tasty!! 

spring time favorite - watermelon beer

a baby niece that will be making her grand arrival come October :)

shopping for said baby niece ~ little skinny jeans

and too many, not necessary cute shoes to choose from

digital chess games with Tony ~ he kicks my butt every time

and a surprise tea party for my beautiful niece Cayleigh!!

It was a full month!! We've been working on our e-commerce sites a lot. I finished reading Making the Most of Life by J.R. Miller and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (Tony & I read that together). I've found the perfect ciabatta bread recipe that has turned out super scrumptious every time. Enjoyed meeting with a couple sweet friends to discuss the book Made to Crave. Tababta workouts, work-work-work, birthdays, Ron Paul voting, lots of togetherness time, crocheting little hats and blankets, tamale making, wind chime hanging, yard mowing, sunflower planting, coconut curry soup eating, and much more I'm sure. :)

I'll leave you with a golden nugget of truth from my favorite author:

"The matter of shoes is important. Especially is this true when the roads are rough and hard. We cannot then get along without something strong and comfortable to wear on our feet. One would scarcely expect to find anything in the Bible about such a need as this. Yet it only shows how truly the Bible is fitted to all our actual life to discover in it a promise referring to shoes.

In the blessing of Moses, pronounced before his death upon the several tribes, there was this among other things for Asher: “Thy shoes shall be iron.” A little geographical note will help to make the meaning plain. Part of Asher’s allotted portion was hilly and rugged. Common sandals, made of wood or leather, would not endure the wear and tear of the sharp, flinty rocks. There was need, therefore, for some special kind of shoes. Hence the form of the promise: “Thy shoes shall be iron.”

...But the word is not merely a prophecy of rugged paths; it is also a promise of shoeing for the road, whatever it may be. One who is preparing to climb a mountain, craggy and precipitous, would not put on silk slippers; he would get strong, tough shoes, with heavy nails in the soles. When god sends us on a journey over step and flinty paths he will not fail to provide us with suitable shoes."
