February 2026

 February consisted of many fun, new experiences along with the arrival of the Spring Festival holiday. 

My POVs.

Feb. 4th I spent the afternoon with a sister and her son at the botanical garden. 

It's super large and this is only 1 part of it. 

We rode a bus up the mountain and first stopped at the Cactus Gardens. I immediately felt like I was back in Arizona. 

Cacti greenhouse

This cactus looks like the Statue of Liberty. 

After taking a long break we moved on to the rainforest part. 

For all God's done, I'll lift my hands and praise him. 💖

Did a small bit of climbing before walking down the mountain.

Took a walk around this lake.

Enjoyed fellowship with my sister in the evening. 

Feb. 5th, kids made lanterns. 

Lele has some serious conversation going on here. 😄

Taught kids the key ingredients of hot pot and how to enjoy. 

My 💚

I cherish these moments. 

These hearts contain kid's wishes. 

😋mmm, cafe

Early morning walk Feb. 7th along this old railroad-turned-walking path.

Later that day met up with a Korean sister to walk with and enjoyed Chinese tacos and coffee.

The taco

God paints such glorious skies, and I never want to become too busy to look up and wow at the beauty. 

Decorations in a random alley. 

Small tokens of love that remind me of precious people and God's hand. 

Fruit art for lantern festival

This picture reminds me of a blessing. I was doing some work in my favorite small shop and had ordered something with no drink, and the owner just brought me milk tea. How kind; he has no idea how much it touched my heart. 

This picture reminds me of God's provision. I had bought some fruit at my favorite shop, and the owner gave me these veggies before I left. Small kindnesses sprinkled through life stay embedded in my heart.

I have more pictures to share from Feb., but they need a separate post.

See you next time. 😊
