One good thing I have learned from being in this state of having a crippled body is having the time to observe the little things around me. I've always loved Springtime, but I've come to a new appreciation of the majesty of God's creations. We have our home nestled in the middle of the orchard and over the years it has become refuge to many species of birds. As I was looking out my bedroom window the other day I noticed a pair of mourning doves paying particular attention to an abandon nest left by robins last year. To my delight, they proceeded to set up housekeeping in that nest...and to my surprise, two little eggs have been produced! :) The momma dove has been very nurturing to those eggs, so I'm sure we will have some little babies in not too long.
Madie and I decided to celebrate the season and decorate some eggs together for Easter. We had tons of fun together laughing at each other and trying not to make huge messes while showing off our creativity. We ended the evening with Madie making us blueberry waffles. (Madie has been a wonderful buddy through all of this difficult "stuff".)
