Outdoor Fireplace

So back in December, Andy and I were trekking through our local Lowe's when we found an outdoor fireplace in the clearance aisle. It was originally being sold for over $200 without assembly, but this one was fully assembled and it was marked down to $45!!! This thing was in perfect shape. Nothing wrong, no parts missing. Looking at one another, without words we knew we agreed. We had to get it. So we did.
We never got one before, because well first off, they are pricey, and secondly we didn't think we'd ever use one. When it's warm outside we play cards out on the back deck, but if it's cold, we stay in. Well I'm happy that we were wrong. We used it for the first time last night and boy was it awesome. It really put out some heat, not that it mattered because it was nice outside. Silly me though, I didn't have the stuff for smores. So next time, momma is gonna come prepared. I'm looking forward to a fun, outdoor fireplace filled spring and summer!

Girl Scout Cookie Selling

The name of this post really says it all. Here is Kassie all bundled up selling Girl Scout cookies in front of our local Safeway.
Her and her friends even made up a song to sing so they could get more people to buy cookies.
Andy said it all when he exclaimed, "The person who thought of taking cute little girls and having them sell outrageously overpriced cookies was genius, just genius! Who could resist a face like that!" I have to agree, it was very clever.....

Beauty

A rainbow this evening in the back yard..........
And the sunset tonight from my front yard.
It's awesome to witness such natural beauty! Thank you , Lord.
