A Gold Dusting

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that today's pollen count is 5,733 which constitutes particles of pollen per cubic meter of air. This is up 2,000 points from last year's spring pollen peak and only 280 points away from the Atlanta pollen record of 6,013 in 1999. This high level makes it quite difficult to breathe in any air that doesn't contain pollen in it. The major current allergen attacks are stemming primarily from birch, oak, pine and sweetgum trees. Although the spike in warm temperatures is certainly welcome after the long and bitter winter, but such a gold dusting as this makes it difficult to enjoy the outdoors. Hopefully tomorrows rainy forecast will aid in this onslaught of sinus trouble! Well, you can always sit inside at a coffee shop and enjoy some hot tea to help with that sinus pressure. "They" also suggest exercising indoors, keeping windows closed, keeping your nose clean, and showering before bed. Good luck out there!

Break from the blog

As March begins, often we hope for a great thaw in our land. Now Georgia certainly doesn't have any icy soil that needs warming, but our yearning for more light and fresh newness to keep us from numbing appears universal. I have written on this blog for ten years now. From singleness to newlywed to mama of four sickly, but now active, growing boys. It's been a place for me to purge, process, and pray through some of life's biggest changes and challenges. It's also helped me keep distant family and friends informed, but I've felt for some time it's come to an appropriate place for pause. I know that I have many more mountains and valleys to travel if the Lord wills it, and many more personal lessons that I'd love to share and reread to my kiddos one day (and if anyone wants to organize and compile this little landscape into a memoir, please be my guest), but I do not ever want to assume a posture of numbness as it relates to our regular routines. I re...

A little color

School has officially started for me, and my teachable teenagers will be booming into my room in two days! I can't wait to shape those minds of our future! :)   However, my summer projects are a great reminder of the joyful color and peace I had for two months. :) I found this great idea on Pinterest and thought it would add a great accent color to any room in my home! I still have to put it all together, but here's what the finished product will look like with a little more subtle turquoise: I have it all painted and ready to be assembled!  More pics upon completion! (may be quite a while though now that school is in session... hope you weren't holding your breath.) ~CC
