One thing we never get enough of is love.
It grows, it changes, it’s relative, it’s simple and complex, is often found where you least expect it, and it keeps on giving.
February is a reminder of that.
And the Ukraine? She shows us the unconditional love of country. Continued prayers for them.

I love your quote, laughed at the cupcake girl, drooled over the cherries, and admired the scenery. Great wrap up of a great month, Donna.

Thanks Marsha. I always enjoy picking some favorite photos from the beginning of the month. My little granddaughter was in her glory to be the cupcake girl. She even washed her dishes ( oh, and I guess the floor). #thegiftoftime

Ooo, Donna, so many incredible images! The little baker, the owl, and that amazing view!! Such joy, and so much love. And this quote is so spot on. I’ll repost it one day, if you don’t mind. You gave it to me just in time. ❤

Always willing to share the love. Thank you. I loved my little granddaughter baking the cupcakes. She laughed and laughed every time she scooped the batter to put in the tin. Kids reach us so much about the simple pleasures. Most of the sprinkles ended up in her mouth. Lol. Thanks Manja.

I love the quote and the photos. Really looking forward to Tuesday. 🙂 I planted tomato plants, parsley, and lettuce yesterday. Couldn’t find any peas but that’s ok. Just hoping these all live to fruit before the heat kills them. 🙂

I don’t know about the lettuce. The tomatoes should be great. Yes. Tuesday.

The lettuce should be fine until it gets quite hot. Then it will bolt. Before then, we’ll just keep eating it. 🙂 Here no rabbits can get at it since they’d have to open the gate or pole vault over the fence into the backyard and no deer either.

Hahaha. Ya. Poor bunnies don’t have a chance to my back too. Trail and error in the front. They don’t eat aloe…so far.

OK Donna, let me pick a favourite…………..still thinking………well I like………..oh damn I like them all. That little cook seems to get into a bit of the action. I like the church photo, the mosaics, the scenes, kites but I was hoping for a bird to stick its head out of one of the cactus holes. A wonderful Changing Seasons. Thanks for joining in 🙂 🙂

Thank you. Busy month for us, with lots of great weather to do it in. Glad to see you back. What a deluge you all had. Hope your property is ok as well. The little frogs need places to hover. Donna. Thanks again always nice to join in AND revisit my previous month.

The frogs are very busy, the sound outside of a night is constant with about seven species all being recorded on an app, FrogID, which goes to the Aust Museum for ID confirmation and recording of location as well. This all helps the researchers to map our frogs 🙂

That’s really interesting. I guess a great time to study them right now, as they recovery from this. I always find it intriguing how “nature finds its way” We learned so much about survival ( what, who, how, why) from my St. Helens over the years. Donna

I made recordings at least once a month and have done so for a few years, probably sent around sixty or seventy so far 🙂

Nice gallery of images, Donna. February was a beautiful, if a bit cooler than normal, in February this year in Buckeye.
