Ting!


Guess what I got today for my birthday? And, no it's not a mustache--that was last year :)



I also got a firepit for the backyard, and I'm raring to garden and whip the yard into shape this year! Since we moved in a few years ago I didn't plant anything, but I absolutely LOVE gardening and plan to start breaking ground soon. I hope I get to garden in heaven. What would it be like without weeds?

Please Lord, just a few weeds, I do love digging them so...

You are too cute :) I know what you got, so I won't say anything, but your hint is pretty obvious...

Cool that you got a firepit. I like to sit on our patio...My Sweetheart does the gardening :)

Blessings on your Tuesday and always.

Your prayer is answered! Just come to our yard and weed to your heart's content - and then some.

Laurel, yes, I got my teeth whitened! Yay! I've wanted that for years, but it was too frivolous, so I asked my husband if I could get it for my birthday. I look scary in that photo. :)--ting!

John, I love weeding. LOVE IT!! I'm on my way. Get the pool ready because I'll take a dip while I'm at it.

Wow what great birthday presents....I want to not turn 40 for my birthday present.....but I don't think God will grant that kind of request...:o)) I love gardening too...I am just itching to get out into my yard to rake and plan all the things I can do with this yard since we just moved here at Christmas...
Blessings on your day!

I'd love to go get it professionally done, but alas, I use Crest strips. Poor Man's "Ting!" Beautiful. Glad you had a great birthday.

Have fun with your garden! I don't enjoy gardening or yard work one little bit. I don't have a green thumb, I have a brown one. Maybe someday you can come visit me and plant me a garden. :)

That is so cute..I wish my kids loved pulling weeds as much as you do? I love the planting and the pruning..and of course then the displaying of the beautiful flowers..
I can only imagine how much our Lord loves gardening when He captures the essence of it so often in parables and biblical teachings.

Blessings to you!

This may come through twice...sorry if it does.

I know you are "tickled" as we say in the south about your shiney bright white teeth! I asked for that for Christmas 2 years ago myself!

Thanks for your comment on my blog. I have so enjoyed reading my sistas-in-Christ blogs today as I have been trying to enter "billing information" at the law firm where I am employed....all the while sneaking over to the CWO to read....it is fantastic!

It brings a feeling of unity in spirit among believers all over the WORLD!!!

Have a fantabulous weekend diggin' in the dirt! I love working in the yard. It is also a time when I can spend quietly and let the Lord speak to my heart.

Be blessed!

When you finish with John, come on down to Florida. Our weeds grow extra fast, extra large and extra strong.

You'll have a blast!

Wow what a nice "ting smile". Happy B-Day Darlene. I pray many more as happy as this one. Is it true what Crystal said about God and granting B-day wishes because I am 32 now and have been praying that when I turn 35 I will start going backwards. You know 34, 33, 32, etc... I am going to stand firm in believeing that He will grant that for me and if I look as good as you do at 40, no one will be able to convince me different.

Well God Bless you and your family.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Ooh, I'm jealous. I got whitening trays from the dentist a year ago, tried it a couple of times, but my teeth were too sensitive. Haven't tried it since. Maybe getting them whitened all at once is the way to go!

Happy Birthday!

What a nice birthday gift. :o) I've been wanting to do that myself!

Please feel free to come and dig up our weeds. That is a chore I do not enjoy in the least.

What a beautiful smile :)

We got a firepit at Christmas and I'm so excited getting the yard ready to place it perfectly in the garden! We started working on it last week and if I can keep my husband working on it we'll be ready to sit out and enjoy it in a few weeks!

Happy Birthday late....hope you had a wonderful birthday!
