Glimpses of Glory

Giving thanks for a weekend getaway in Forest Grove, Oregon visiting the Haileys... 
Saturday afternoon walk 


“It had always seemed to Emily, ever since she could remember, that she was very, very near to a world of wonderful beauty.  Between it and herself hung only a thin curtain; she could never draw the curtain aside- but sometimes, just for a moment, a wind fluttered it and then it was as if she caught a glimpse of the enchanting realm beyond—only a glimpse—and heard a note of unearthly music…And always when the flash came to her,  Emily felt that life was a wonderful, mysterious thing of persistent beauty.”  - L.M. Montgomery Emily of New Moon 


I put this quote above because it is such a perfect "Jodi" quote. She is the one who led me to fall in love with Anne of Green Gables and her dad is the one who introduced me to the "Emily" series also by L.M. Montgomery.  

Giving thanks for friendships that give us glimpses of glory.....

Loved being with the 5 children, the 14 chickens, the 3 goats, their 3 bunnies, and 1 cat..

Anna fell in love with their bunny (named Tilly)- 
she is lobbying hard for a bunny of her own for her next birthday after this visit!
