My Kitchen Window

In every home we have lived in I have always had a window at the kitchen sink.  Sometimes it has been a lovely view, sometimes just the house next door.  But no matter the view I always make it something pretty to look at and I often change the look. 

These little birds are back in the kitchen again.

It's spring and so that means daffodils and yellow. I love yellow because it is such a cheerful color.

I like the way the light comes through the kitchen window at various times throughout the day.

Most of the blue glass is put away for now.

Daffodils smile at me.

Some fake daisies fill a yellow vase and brighten the countertop. 

One of my roosters gets a place of honor.

Little chickens find a place to roost beside the hellebores.

In the morning my kitchen is quite dark, until the sun slowly works its way around to that side of the house.

Ruth Bell Graham, Billy Graham's wife had a sign above her kitchen sink that said,

"Divine service performed here three times daily."

I like that.  I am not just washing the dishes and preparing meals I am doing something that pleases God and blesses my family.

I love my kitchen window and I have a saying above my kitchen window too.

Blue Monday

As many of you know I love blue, so I decided to join in on Blue Monday. It happens over at Smiling Sally. She has a list of all the other participants and I know you will find it fun to see all the blue.

In the afternoons when the sun shines into my kitchen all this blue glass just sparkles and I love it!

I've been given the "lemonade award" by Donna at Donna's Art . Thank you Donna! This award is based on displaying great attitude or gratitude and I always enjoy visiting Donna because she always cheers my day. Please stop by to see her and check out her fabulous art!

I hope when you read my blog that it is a positive part of your day. There are so many reasons to be discouraged right now so I like to think that stopping by for a cup of tea with me will cheer you up just a little bit.

Here are the rules for this award:

1. Put the logo on your blog or post.

2. Nominate at least 10 blogs which show GREAT ATTITUDE &/or GRATITUDE!

3. Be sure to link your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love & link to this post & to the person from who you received your award.

I am going to pass this award on to just one person because of all the bloggers I know, I think she most epitomizes great attitude and gratitude. It's Marie at A Year From Oak Cottage. If you don't know Marie , you must visit her and if you do, you'll see why I think she deserves this award! What I love is her positive attitude, and her gratefulness for everything in her life, both good and bad. I always feel encouraged and hopeful after reading her blog. Oh and she makes the MOST DELICIOUS recipes ever!

Hope you have a great day!
