I Like My Coffee Hot

I was toasting a bagel and noticed the steam from the coffee was catching the light quite nicely this morning....an impromptu photo shoot ensued.

I hope you are having a nice week!

The Foundation Remains

Do you remeber the post I did on our barn being moved to the Fairgrounds?

I didn't get to see it being moved, but I did watch a clip from one of the news shows as they sent a camera out to cover it.

A number of weeks ago, the younger girls and I went up to the farm.  This is the foundation that remains.  

The date, Aug. 9 1919 was etched in two places in the concrete foundation.

Hmmm...if we could cut this and dig it out...you know this would make a great piece to set in a garden!!

 

I am so drawn to the symbolism of this.  Especially, during this Lenten season.  It makes you think doesn't it?  

 

When all is gone, what is etched on your foundation?  

 

Linking with Texture Tuesday, I used Kim's texture "2711".

Popcorn! A Stop Motion Video.

I took the pictures to make this stop motion video well over a year ago. I started to put it together right away, but got hung up on adding the music to it. It's been hard to go back to the project because I wasn't sure how to solve the problem, plus I was sure I'd forgotten what I'd already learned.

Well, I found some determination and some "stick to it-ness" in my Lenten sacrifice and finally finished it!  It's nothing grand by any means, but when your learning, a start is a start. And, that is something.

I made this video to help promote our local movie theater which is run by a volunteer board.

And, I like popcorn a lot. :)

Are you learning anything new?  Any fresh starts, or do you have a project that needs a fresh start?

Friday Finds

I am reading this book this Lent and making the self led retreat.  When I started it, I began using this book mark a friend sent me last year.

This morning, as I placed the book mark, it occurred to me that there is a connection: the book mark is a heart and the book is about the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  

  

It's a Godincidence.
Just a little nod, that you are in the right place at the right time.
