another ordinary miracle

I've never really liked the color green. Until now. The Redwood forests along the California coast were beautiful and very, very green. The trees were tall, yes, but the clover and ferns and light made them all so magical.

I may have left my heart in Bandon, but I think a piece of Craig's heart is in this forest.

The bark was taken off the bottom of this tree almost 100 years ago by two brothers.

Not only is Isaac getting tall, he's getting very strong! I don't stand a chance arm wrestling against him anymore, but he's got a long way to go before he'll beat his daddy! Can you spot him holding the tree out of our path?

While the filtered light from the VERY tall trees may have been magical, it made for slow shutter speeds, and I don't think Sophia stood still once. That girl has more energy than... I don't know what. Well, ME, that's for sure.

So do you think Home Depot could color match some of these Redwood forest clovers and ferns for my new kitchen color?

And of course, there's nothing magical about this place at all, but rather another example of God's amazing creation. How blessed we are to have been able to enjoy this beautiful, little corner of earth!

It's not that unusual, when everything is beautiful. It's just another ordinary miracle today...

What's not to love about the color 'green' and miracles big or small?
