...moments of rest!

 Now that we have returned from our trip, 
busy life returns as we get into our routines again 
and work hard at finishing up our Spanish study.
But this morning...
somehow the boys and I finished school early and
lunch was already prepared
so we drug some cushions out to the porch 
and curled up together.
 It was, what I would describe as, 
a perfect summer day in the USA 
(even though it is still winter here).
  The sun was so warm the boys changed to shorts.
The wind gently blew our hair and we watched 
as the ambay and palm tree branches 
rocked back and forth.  
A pair of pigeons would settle in our yard, 
until "little guy" would try to sneak up and get close to them!  
The ants were busy munching on some of our 
popcorn leftovers we threw in the yard.
The scent of the grapefruit tree blossoms was amazing!
 It was refreshing to rest and just observe 
God's creation with my little ones!
