I've decided that I just might start making my bed again (a habit I've gradually forfeited due to early morning alarm clocks), just because it's too pretty not to see in all its glory!

Thanks Mom!
Mom has been working on this beauitful flannel quilt for me, and while I got to pick out some of the fabric, I never got to see it until today. I just love it! It's all the colors I like best, and such a pretty design!

Apple Salad
I made up this recipe last night for our church's potluck (based on a similar one I found online.)
I quite liked it!!
6 large apples, cut into bite-sized pieces (not peeled, just cored)
1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
2 cups walnuts, roasted (bake at 350 for 10 minutes)
6 T walnut oil
4 T apple cider vinegar
4 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
mix last four ingredients together, and stir in cheese, let that sit while the walnuts roast and you cut up the apples. Mix it all together.
I loved it!

Noticing the cabbages
I spent an afternoon at Meijer Gardens yesterday, and was thinking of just how intricate and lovely these ornamental cabbages are.
Really ... cabbages ... it's amazing really. :)
Take a little time to notice the cabbages today! (or whatever ordinary loveliness happens to be in your path.
If you want to see the rest of the pictures from yesterday's wandering, email me, and I'll send you the link.

change & cheese
I have been listening to Who Moved My Cheese while I did housework this morning.
As someone who dislikes change (and "dislike" would be a mild term), it was quite a good book for me to think about!
While it was written with a business-person in mind, it had a lot to say to other areas also. It was an encouragement to me to look at the changes God throws my way as opportunities, rather than grin-and-bear-it challenges.
He is so good to not leave His children to their own devices, but gives opportunities to stretch and grow and change. I want to be open to them when they come my way! It's easier to me to hold on to what's familiar ... whether or not I'm particularly good at it, or even particularly LIKE it. I want to be more open to new ideas and opportunities, and more willing to let the old slip away when necessary.
