Sunshine

Mondays are normally my "get stuff done at home" day, with cleaning, laundry and homework on my to-do list before my piano students start coming.  Today was no different, other than the fact that it was just so gorgeous outside- I had to take advantage of the perfect weather.  My inlaws live about 10 minutes away, and my husband has an office space at their house out of which he runs his business.  I decided to set up a little office of my own today, in their backyard.  Look at the lovely view I had while doing my homework:



I just couldn't help but stare out over the valley as the beautiful sunshine kissed the hills and the Redwood swayed in the breeze.  My husband's grandma (she's 93!) planted that Redwood tree in the 1950's; she brought the little sapling home in a coffee can.  Look at it now!  Such an amazing reminder of God's ability to grow such beautiful things out of small, seemingly insignificant ones.

Quiet moments like these are my favorite.

I hope your day was full of beauty too.
