Around the Yard

Today Kim posted about everyday things that we often take for granted. I wanted to share with you some of the everyday things that bring joy to my life; if I had to list them, the laughter of my children would be at the top of the list. Nothing brings me more joy than to hear them laughing. Looking at God's creation gives me a great deal of pleasure, though we often tend to overlook the simple beauty of things.

I love to take pictures after a good rain, and this week I was provided with many opportunities. Here are some of the pictures that the girls and I took.

Hannah took this picture of her hibiscus.



Lindsay took these pictures one evening after a storm had blown over.










I took these pictures of my roses.










Rachel and I took these pictures of some of our vegetables.
