It's All About Home Today...

Brrrrr! It's chilly today. The skies are mostly clear and it is blustery. The thermometer read 5 degrees C this morning, we have had quite a mild October thus far - I wonder if this is now the prelude to frosty morns and cold days?

I do love this little hanging that I have on my kitchen door. Home is where MY heart is. I love being a wife, a mom and a keeper of the most important place on earth for my family. Their haven from the world, the place that they know they are loved and cherished. I can make that haven even more precious - I control the atmosphere in our home and make it that safe, special place - as do you in your homes.

When I read THIS article on Courtney's blog, I knew that this was another small way that I could continue to nurture the atmosphere of peace and God's love in my home. I had the perfect candle - a gift from Miss J-L, a lovely rustic lavender candle.

So this morning as I went through to the kitchen to get the day on the go, I lit my candle and said a prayer for peace in our home today. As the flickering flame catches my eye throughout the morning, I will be reminded to pray for my family.

Spring bulbs have been going into the garden this week. We have planted quite a few - just two more packs to go! I have quite few in the garden already, but I decided that this year I was going to be planting our spring bulbs in pots. That way I can move the pots around in the spring and also have created lovely blocks of colour. I couldn't help thinking this past spring that last years planting seemed rather lost and sparse. Unfortunately I have seen our naughty kitty using my newly planted pots as a loo! Grrrrr - I don't know why she thinks that bare-topped pots have been set there specifically for her convenience! I am going to have to try deter her somehow - any suggestions welcome :o)

Anyhoo - almost time for lessons to begin so I will love and leave you for today. Have a super day and I hope to see you here very soon.

Blessings
