There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths,
which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to
them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the
roof, and then fly away.

I've had this French Provencial chest on our backporch since we moved into our current home almost 2 years ago. The poor thing started out as a second hand purchase and was part of a complete little girl's bedroom suite. This is the only piece that has been saved over the years. It has many coats of paint on it and has served as a dresser, server for the dining room, a chest in the hallway and then was placed outside on the backporch. I felt it was time to give it new life and bring it back to the bedroom where it belongs. So, I went to the local Harpeth True Value Hardware store and bought a distressing kit by American Heritage. Here is the result...

I must confess, I am an avid bird watcher. They fascinate me. Song birds have to be my favorite. Their delicate bodies and vibrant colors, not to mention their beautiful tunes can keep me content for hours. With spring here, my trees and bushes are full of nests. My sweet husband, Ethos, has been lured into bird watching along with me. He is now addicted to photographing a robin outside our kitchen window as we chronicle the nest building, egg laying, mother sitting, hatchling feeding (by both mother and father) of this little family. So for Watercooler Wednesday over at Ethos...I had to share this tip on bird photography. Here is how it is best done.
Tennessee is business friendly, having no income tax on wages, and the costs of property and doing business are cheap. One red flag: Suburban sprawl is leading to over-crowded roads and schools. It's easy to see why so many want to put down roots in Nashville: Lifestyle amenities go far beyond the country music honkytonks of yesteryear, and the local college scene is strong. Overall, the city retains a down-home, churchy feel. -Peter Galuszka

Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz is not a deep theologically or philosophically life changing book. (wow, did you like all those adjectives???) However, it is full of creative writing that is so true of the author's style and wit. He has the ability to send so many truthful and meaningful messages to the reader almost in a subliminal format. You catch yourself spellbound in this dark comedy full of anxiety one moment and laughing your head off the next and then kaboom....there is a profound thought or idea or view that speaks so much into your life. This is a great book to just have fun with. Enjoy!Great book ideas around the watercooler today at Ethos.
Ethos has asked....What is your favorite movie? This is a hard one to narrow down. After a lot of consideration, I still come back to "To Kill A Mocking Bird". Maybe it is because I am a southern girl. Maybe it is because I believe in justice and I am encouraged to see that even as I was a young child Harper Lee was brave enough to publish this bookl and the allow it to be released this book to become a movie that took America by storm during such already turbulent years. Maybe it is because secretly I wanted a dad like Atticus. Or maybe I'm a girl after Scout's own heart. Or because I felt sorry for Boo. Whatever, this movie impacted my life and continues to do so each year as I watch it every October. This post is a part of Watercooler Wednesday.
