Empty Room

Moving is an experience that's happy & sad at the same time.  Whether happy or sad it's exhausting.  I'll be glad when it's over and I'm settled in the new place.

My heart is grateful for:
finding a new place that is less costly but almost as nice as what I'm leaving

Beautiful House

The beautiful house is located on the edge of Knoxville, Tennessee.  It sits on a street with several other houses of the same type of architecture that are painted other striking colors such as blue, yellow, medium green and pale green among others. 

My heart is grateful for:
the beauty of the color palette created by God

Pipe and Shadow on Water Tower

As I was driving around today, I came across this scene.  The sky was really that blue and I love the way the shadow lands on the tower.

My heart is grateful for:
the day's work I had today

Two Planters

These planters are located outside a business in downtown Abilene, Texas.  I think they've seen better days and hopefully as spring approaches there will be new, living plants inside them both.  I love the look of the blue door and the terra cotta planter.

My heart is thankful for:
beautiful colors

Spiral Staircase

This spiral staircase is located inside a secure fence at an event center in downtown Abilene, Texas.  I LOVE spiral staircases and even though I've passed this location many times, I never thought of taking a photo of it until the other day.  

My heart is grateful that:
God is in control of everything, even is something seems like a tragedy at the time it happens

Guarded Alleyway

There are a couple of alleyways in Abilene that are fenced at each end.  I don't know why~~possibly because they're in between two businesses and the back areas need to be protected???

I'm grateful that:
a friend was able to help me move some of my belongings into my new living space

Horton Hears a Who

Abilene is the "Storybook Capital of America" and has many  storybook character statues scattered around its two parks.  

I'm happy that:
I was able to move some things into my new living space today

Window and shadows

This window is on a building that's an event venue that's really popular for wedding receptions and other big event receptions.

My heart is grateful that:
there is plenty of food in my fridge and pantry 

66/366
The Mill Bar & Restaurant

I posted a photo of this venue before, but this is a different vantage point.  I love the way they left the outside of the building looking so retro.  I hear the inside is nice and the food is good.

My heart is grateful that:
I'll be seeing my daughter/son in law who live out of state soon as we'll have a weekend together with the daughter who lives near me.  A mini-reunion

Business Wall

This is the outside wall of one of the businesses in downtown Abilene.  I think it looks so interesting with the outcroppings and the shadows.  

My heart is grateful that:
I was able to spend some time with my daughter and her family last night

Slanted Electric Pole

I've passed this building many times, but probably never from this angle.  I thought the slanted pole looked interesting, so there ya go.

I'm grateful for:
The beautiful weather we have today with the cooler temps

Basement Window

  This is one of the windows to the basement window of a public building in town.  I often wonder why people cover over their basement windows but I guess there must be a good reason.

My heart is grateful that:
I had a chance to work at my random pt job today
