Random 5 Friday

 

1. Spring is here officially and I'm very excited about that. Spring came to the Pacific Northwest early this year, but it's still nice to know that soon I can plant the garden and that the trees will have leaves. 



2. It's also ant season. On our walk the other evening we passed several thousand ants.



3. There is a house in our neighborhood that has what we call the humming bird hotel. We've walked by a few times now and each time there are multiple hummingbirds hanging out on the front porch. We've counted as many as 9 at a time. 




 4. One year ago today we arrived in Thailand and spent the day with our sponsored child, Orm.




5. Been thinking about my grandma a lot this week. She's 99 (100 in June) and is slipping away quickly. We think she had a stroke earlier this week. She's not talking anymore, and is hardly eating and drinking. I'm so thankful for the wonderful memories I have and that I've had her in my life this long.

    Happy Spring Jill - beautiful pictures! So sorry to hear about your Grandma. I lost a Grandma and Grandpa both recently (both in their nineties as well). I felt the same, so thankful to have had them that long - that our daughter not only knew them but knew them well due to their length of life. The memories are precious indeed.

    Hummingbird Hotel--I love the term. My neighbor has a BandB for hummingbirds :)
    I'm so sorry about your grandma. You are truly blessed to have had her this long, and your girls will treasure those memories, too.
