The Four Seasons

Vee asked, "If you were going to create a set of notecards from those photographs used on your blog, which four would you choose?"

Since I like to take nature photos I would more than likely use some of them if I were going to make cards. I can see having a Four Seasons set and featuring one photo from each season.

SPRING

SUMMER

FALL

WINTER

Tuesday, March 20, 2012

The time of year when you can wear short sleeves and jeans. Flipflops and jackets. When the air has that smell and you can keep the windows open and taking walks is enjoyable since you don't freeze but you don't have to worry about snakes (~~shudder~~). Flowers are starting to bloom and trees are starting to bud. The grass starts turning green again and the evenings are longer.

To turn off my mixpod, go to the bottom of this blog, find my music player, and click the play/pause button. And speaking of music, my mixpod now has resurrection and spring songs on it.

{Happy Spring!{

Oh, and don't forget to stop by the Rita's Italian Ice near you to get your free regular italian ice in celebration of the first day of spring!

Standing on the Promises

Standing on the Promises
words by R. Kelso Carter

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He is faithful that promised. ~Hebrews 10:23

Project Pinterest: Pineapple Whips

When I saw this pin on Pinterest I knew I had to make it. It looked so good and refreshing.

original recipe

Tuesday was the day! It was a warm day and all the ingredients were on hand.

Pineapple Whips

*the original recipe can be found here. The recipe below is with my few adaptions.

40 ounces crushed pineapple with juice

3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar

1 and 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped

Drain pineapple; reserve 5-6 tablespoons juice. Set aside. Place pineapple, lemon juice, sugar and 3 tablespoons pineapple juice in blender and blend until smooth. Pour into two 1-quart freezer zipped bags and store bags flat in freezer. Freeze 1-1/2 hours. Stir pineapple slush gently into whipped cream in large bowl. Return to freezer until completely frozen, about 1 hour (I had mine in for 3 hours and it was still a good consistency). Just before serving, whip some more heavy cream with the rest of the reserved pineapple juice. Top each serving of the whip with a dollop of whipped cream.

They were delicious!
