Now I have the kookaburra song stuck in my head, lol!<br />That's right missy, someone has a birthday coming up - woohoo! <br /><br />I don't think I'll ever look at February the same way again after reading your post. Here in Michigan, it's the coldest month of the year, and short, and gray, and gloomy - I read once that it's the most depressing month of the year, the time when most suicides occur. I've always believed it [it really IS gloomy] but I'm going to choose to ignore it, and take a fresh breath for the year. I love this post. And Mr. Fox is looking so good!!!!<br />Allie-oops Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356598486121651755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-90725176995712478452016-02-10T14:27:34.269+10:002016-02-10T14:27:34.269+10:00I love every month - they each have something spec...I love every month - they each have something special to recommend them, from soil-nourishing rains, aquifer-enhancing snow, warming sun for the crops to grow or be reaped by, cleansing winds that bring or remove smoke from fires...without the drought, would we appreciate the rain as much?

I feel like I live in a fairly small unknown (?) town so whenever I hear it's name in a movie or see it in a book it gives me a tingle. And there it was in this book . . . Bakersfield.

I'm so pleased to read that you enjoy February. Here, it is just a reminder that we still have the same dark damp, cold & windy days of winter, so it's not a month I enjoy. But towards the end of the month perhaps the snowdrops & crocuses may start to push through the sodden earth, which gives us a hint that perhaps spring is not too far away. So until then I will put another log on the fire (figuratively speaking!) and watch the movie one more time, pick up my sewing & dream of sunny, warmer days.dideeannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-74164469250154269012016-02-10T06:36:35.720+10:002016-02-10T06:36:35.720+10:00Usually do not reply to blogs I read basically bec...Usually do not reply to blogs I read basically because I am usually confused about how to respond. I have loved reading your blog especially your Sunday comments as I have tried to be more spiritually in tune on the Sabbath day. Your thoughts are very enlightening and I feel the peace in your life. I am as well trying to move through life more deliberately and slowly down to enjoy everything around me whether life and others dictate that or not. I just ordered the book and DVD for my enjoyment as quilting has become my first love--right after family! Thank you for taking the time to share your life and story.

Years ago when she was a Girl Scout, some of we moms took our girls on an overnighter to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. We "camped out" in their education building where some of the smaller night creatures were housed. In our sleeping bags on the floor, the last whispers from the girls died down. Suddenly, with a loud and unexpected jolt, everyone was awakened by the call of the kookaburras! We didn't get much sleep, but spending that time with my daughter and her friends was precious. Thanks for the memory jolt!Carla Fiedlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633228795999260813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-64924243356710930412016-02-10T02:43:17.132+10:002016-02-10T02:43:17.132+10:00Good Morning Jenny!

I do not have a favorite month, I do always look forward to spring with the onset of warmer weather, the bright cheerful colors our Lord created and the blooming of flowers. Also, like you I try hard not to ponder to much about the past and live for today and all of the wonderful people in my life now and how thankful I am that I continue to walk with the Lord and learn more and grow stronger in my faith. Thank you for sharing a special post!

I love the fall colors, reds, browns, oranges, yellows, and a few greens thrown in. <br /><br />The book and movie are now on my "have to watch and read" list as I've not heard of them and they look and sound wonderful.<br /><br />The kookaburra is beautiful.

I guess I like whatever month brings spring back into my life. In the desert, that might be February. Phoenix is already having lovely, dry 28 C days! Here in Tennessee, it could be anywhere from early March to May, as there seem to be no weather patterns. <br /><br />I look for days around 20, sunshine, flowers popping out on bushes and bulbs coming up. There's a smell to the air that's different, and I find a little extra energy. The robins cover my front lawn - I couldn't count them all last year! Whatever it is they want, I have a lot of it. The windows are open and a little breeze goes through. The house doesn't cross ventilate well, but if I have the door and the windows open, one end of the house does alright.<br /><br />I'm so glad you had that cooling, healing rain last night. It sounds lovely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-20740724017866765002016-02-09T13:08:16.757+10:002016-02-09T13:08:16.757+10:00Another beautiful post Jenny!
