“Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.” – Rabindranath Tagore
It was Seattle Fire Department neighborhood day and we went to see our favorite SFD Captain. The last time we checked out the aid car (like almost a year ago), Mr. D couldn’t find Miss O’s heartbeat. Happy to confirm this time that she has a big heart and its beating!
The sad progression of our rescued rabbit, Buttercup the Bunny. Check out the Sharing the Heart of the Matter Episode 66 post for the story. I know it’s a hassle to change media but the page linked here should open in a new tab and we’ve embedded the YouTube video in that page.
How does the saying go? Don’t put all your wishes in one basket because Cooper will eat them?
But there are no frowny faces when Nana is around! Well, there’s one but that’s just a positioning error.
Lilacs and a sign. Or lilacs are a sign…that spring is here! Hope you have a great weekend!

They are amazing. And I’m fascinated that they don’t drop their flowers on the ground. Happy Mother’s Day, Jane!

Cooper looks like he’s never met a basket he did not like, Wynne. Can’t blame him for wishing for more to explore.😊
