when my college daughter is home
our family is again complete
the table is abundantly full
hearts becomes whole

L I G H T

on a wall
on a table
in a yard
trying to see light each day in the place called home

journey

"where are you going my little one?
where are you going my baby my own?
turn around and your two
turn around and your four
turn around and your a young girl going out of the door"

happy birthday and blessings on your journey my daughter

a dog and his apple

join in the Pet Parade Xtra
hosted by my friend
Gayle at at Planet M Files
where all pets come to play!

in the late afternoon

the sun glows in this window
filling each space with sunshine
as shadowy leaves dance on the screen
dreams swirl through on a early summer breeze

RED.....WHITE....BLUE

remembering my Dad as always on Memorial Day weekend
he devoted his life to serving his country
more memories shared here
parade back Wednesday

a flowery note

soft

is the last day
of a week filled with life
coming from all directions
........
inspiring photographs and words
this week graced your blog spaces my friends
...
one more bloom

scraps of love

I feel the soft love of denim hearts and wild birds
as they take shape with scissors and glue
but
feelings of wisdom .... always a work in progress

for more love fly here

sisters on the steps

they are now officially seniors
one in college ... one in high school
i watched years of growing from these steps

grateful

for these windows ... this light ... this day

may I have this dance?

in preschool music class we move each day swaying with the beat

dancing in the breeze like wildflowers in a field

each is unique and pure joy

see Todays Flowers a garden from around the world

simple wish

may today bring what you need
a golden glow..vivid shadows
quiet peace

i'm just saying

most times my voice...
my reply...
will be
calm...quiet...even breezy

at other times
in your face...prickly... sharp

I have a big mouth
BUT
I have a big heart
does this ever happen to you?

remember

the light


a life time of Love Thursdays have come our way

you are invited

small voices
scatter to the wind
...

small dancers
floating into the sun

Spring Preschool Program
Thursday night
directed
by me

grasp the smooth and shiny moments in your day and let the others fall away

pink reprise

old friends that spent numerous winter nights
under a garden quilt and in the garage

grace the patio once again
with color and comfort

visit Todays Flowers for beauty around the world

daily song

T I M E

can stand tall for decades

tick away quietly when you least expect it

use the minutes on your clock
to honor another
celebrate coming home
appreciate moments together
