A Grain of Sand and Some Treats


My friend S dropped by with these delicious desserts.  Her sister loves to bake.  She always lessens the sugar and uses whole wheat flour when she can.   

 I thought I would share this zoomed in photo of a single grain of sand.  I learned sand is a non renewable resource.  It is replenished over a long time but not quickly.  So we have to be careful how we use it.  The same goes for water.

That is a really cool zoomed in photo of a grain of sand. I definitely agree about sand and water. Art worked for EPA so we are very conscious of protecting our environment.

Yes, my Einstein-calendar had an article on sand, too (cool pic, btw).
Only dumbness is endless.
To education.

Isn't that grain of sand absolutely amazing? I follow someone on Instagram (I think it's Instagram) who shares similar photos of various things. Thanks for the link and the delicious looking baked good from your friend. Also thank you for the sweet comments when I was under the weather. Good to be catching up with you again.

The Bible has a lot to say about sand!. In Psm. 139 it says His thoughts about us are as many as the sands of the sea shore. We have a big God! That would be a good word study.

The photo is unreal.

The goodies look so tasty.

You are one lucky recipient.

Ironic that we use sand bags to hold back water/flooding.
