The Blessings of 'Small Miracles'


Today, this afternoon, I was listening to the BYU channel and there was a fill-in of 10 minutes before the next program started. It was a concert pianist with a full orchestra. They were playing classical music. I was preparing homemade vegetable beef soup in the kitchen and enjoying the music. I love classical music. I noticed that Kirsten was shaking her rattle to the rhythm of the music. As the music increased in tempo so did her rattle. I peeked around the corner and she had the happiest smile on her face. I kept an eye on her to make sure I wasn't imagining what I was hearing. She kept her rattle going to the tempo of the music and when it ended so did she, right on cue! I was so touched by this 'small miracle'! It was a joyful experience!


I got a quick shot of her here. When she sees me with the camera, she stops and drops her rattle and her performance is over! So I had to be quick! My camera has a few seconds of delay and I was trying so hard to capture her in motion! Got her! :o)


This was Kirsten when the music ended, no more rattle. She had finished!


This is a small frog that loves to 'sit' on my roses. He or she usually hides inside the rose petals and peeks out. This was taken a few days ago when the sun was out and I guess froggie decided to sun him or herself!

What a fun moment you got to "catch." That sneaky girl.
Cute little froggy too! I had no idea you had them hanging around in your roses. Very cool.
