Dreaming!

Well, I've been laying low for the week or so. Trying to take it easy! Becuz I can't wait til I can get outside and ride my bike! and start working in my yard and garden! I am actually starting to do alittle spring cleaning inside. Things that have been needed to be done for a while now! I'm working on making a little desk in my kitchen area. My daughter Kaitlin had oral surgery this week, all four wisdom teeth out! Poor baby she's never had any kind of surgery before! She's been a trooper,even though she's 19, she's my baby girl! I just love Audrey Hepburn! I actually got my husband to watch , Breakfast at Tiffany's with me! What a guy, he suffered through it with me all the way to the end! I had never watched the entire movie before! I loved it! I signed up for a few swaps and am working on them right now also! Kinda excited. I love to get little surprises in the mail and also to be able to pay it forward! The sun has been shining here in Michigan! and I love it! even the weather has been alot warmer! The snow is melting! YAY! Now all my dreams of riding my bike, working in my yard and taking long walks with my husband can start to come true! Have a great one! XO Fran.

Another view from my window with God!

This is a Northern Flicker bird. This another view as I was praying one morning. It is an awesome bird,and is in the woodpecker family. It's about 12 inches big. It amazed me as I looked out and saw it! It has alot of yellow under it's belly when it flys! It has dots on it's belly as you can see, and stripes too. I think the red spot on it's neck kinda look likes a heart!  It has been coming back to feed alot! I am so blessed with the little gifts of God out my window. I am recovering from surgery right now and it is so awesome to look out my window. My husband has alot of bird feeding setups for me to watch, as I also spend alot of time in my bed with pain from my bladder disease I have. But God is good and sends these little gifts my way!!! XO
